[SWFObject] Trouble converting from the old flashobject.js to thenew swfobject.js

[Iain Waugh]

Hi, lol glad to be of help :D

With regards to your 2nd question, the only thing that the swfobject does is to rewrite the contents of the flashcontent div with suitable coding to make the flash movie appear, this is all done client side in the browser so it doesnt affect anything at all on your server. I.e. the xml files, actual swf etc. These would have to be created/altered server side either manually or through a CMS, so id suggest the best place to gather more info would be as u say to contact whoever orginaly created the gallery/site :)

  Iain -

  Works like a charm! Thank you very much. I am fairly sure you now hold the world record for posting a precisely stated fix to a technical problem
  at damn near light speed.

  I have tried to answer one of my other questions, namely, does the .swf get created by the embed script and all the
  other code (.xml, .htm etc.) by renaming gallery.swf to something else and it appears it does not since I get a blank page
  when I run the ap. I guess it's time to contact the person that posted this original page to see how she built the .swf. 
  Before I do, do you have any insight into this "what creates the .swf" issue?

    Hope that helps :)

      I am a newbie to just about every aspect of this stuff but am interested as hell and actually know a fair amount about programming etc. so any help from anyone would be greatly appreciated.

      A friend of a friend is using Geoff's older version of flashobject.js and I am trying to figure out how to convert to the newer version of swfobject.js. You may find this use at

      http://www.charleybradley.com/maxproject/2006/growers/chip/amywebwork/cb_webpage/index.htm

      I have built a file called index-try.htm which includes the latest swfobject.js. I get the following error messages under Firefox 



      when I visit

      http://www.charleybradley.com/maxproject/2006/growers/chip/amywebwork/cb_webpage/index-try.htm

      I have a few other questions which I'll list below, but the above problem needs to be resolved before I can move forward at all.

      The use of .xml in the above application is vaguely understandable (as I say, I'm a newbie). The following files are in the cb_webpage directory:

      http://www.charleybradley.com/maxproject/2006/growers/chip/amywebwork/cb_webpage/photos.xml
      http://www.charleybradley.com/maxproject/2006/growers/chip/amywebwork/cb_webpage/photos.js
      http://www.charleybradley.com/maxproject/2006/growers/chip/amywebwork/cb_webpage/galleryconfig.xml

      1. I have not yet figured out where the photos.js file is referenced

      2. When I first took a look at all this stuff, it appeared that Geoff's embed script might actually be what's behind the 
      creation of the gallery.swf. In other words, if you provide the .jpg's and wrap everything up with the front end .htm (which references the .xml and .js) 
      on first invocation the .swf file gets built and embedded. Is this what's going on?
