[SWFObject] [SWF Object] FGlash not showing upinFireFoxandNetscape - The Answer!

Geoff.

I few weeks ago, I posted a flash mx2004/8 publishing template to the list
which uses SWFObject. If someone from MM can tell us how to publish not just
the page, but a .js file with it, that would be great.

too bad you can't just update the Flash 8 publish output and just use
SWFObject.

well, the adobe fix doesn't include plugin detection... and I don't think it
supports Express Install if you want to use that.

And the code may be smaller (I haven't examined the active content fix that
closely)

You seem to have a ton of other js code in your document that could all be
removed and replaced by swfobject as well.

no sorry your not missing anything. But heres an additional question. How
hard would it be for me to integrate flash object into what I have
presently? What would the advantages be? Other than that every one else is
already using it. My content appears to be working fine but I know that I
will need to eventually integrate the swfObject. Any advice?

neither of those sites is using SWFObject... the first one is using the mm
active content fix, and the second one is just a normal embed... am I
missing something?

I am using swfObject. Want to see the scripting in action, here is a link to
one of our sites www.strunkLp.com this site is using a flash header. It is
not the generator content site that I was trying to view in firefox
http://www.mikewileyproductions.com Let me know what you think. These sites
are in our production environment and have been released to the web.
Currently in our development environment we have corrected the problem
utilizing the ASP code that I was talking about before.

You are right about the Flash object working in Firefox and netscape, for
the first example that I listed, StrunkLP that is a flash hybrid site with a
flash header and it displays fine, the displaying issue has something to do
with the content that is created and published via generator.

Oh and BTW, I don't use generator as it is a dead technology for the most
part, I am simply turning wrenches here at work trying to get the technology
to continue to work effectively given the current IE active content
turbulence in the WWW...

Thanks,

Chad

are you using swfobject? or some other js scheme? 

swfobject works fine in firefox/safari/mozilla/opera/whatever - can you post
a link to the page?

Ok so a little researching got me some nifty browser detection schemes and
now I am able to see the flash content in all browsers. All we ended up
using was some ASP "HTTP_USER_AGENT" and some conditional logic to direct
the browser based on browser name, then used the new JS function for IE, and
the old way with the <object> <embed> tags for anything other than IE....
works really well.

Thanks.
