[SWFObject] Using PHP with SWFObj

Fri Dec 8 08:59:22 PST 2006

Maybe you've got another div or element with the id "flashcontent" or
something.  You said you that you can still see the text in the
flashcontent div - how?  wmode=transparent?  It should be completely
replaced - it's my understanding that SWFObject overwrites the innerHTML
of whatever div you specify (flashcontent), this would completely erase
the initial contents of the div.  Are you getting any Javascript errors
on the page?  Can you isolate the problem by making a new test page like
this?:

<html><head></head><body>
<!--start flash header-->
		<div id="flashcontent">
		I should not see this	
		</div>

	<script type="text/javascript">
		// <![CDATA[

		var so = new
SWFObject("http://www.someurl.com/dir/flashheader.swf",
"header", "564", "150", "8", "#000000");
		so.addParam("scale", "noscale");
		 so.addVariable("hdrtext", "This is a FlashVar");
		so.write("flashcontent");

		// ]]>
	</script>

<!--end flash header-->
</body></html>

Also, I would recommend using a relative path to your SWF to prevent any
cross domain issues (i.e. /dir/flashheader.swf ).

Good luck!

HI,
so I'm trying to integrate SWFObject into a Wordpress blog, and it's
been going fine, except for in IE (imagine that). I have the following
content:

<!--start flash header-->
		<div id="flashcontent">
		<?php bloginfo('name'); ?>	
		</div>

	<script type="text/javascript">
		// <![CDATA[

		var so = new
SWFObject("http://www.someurl.com/dir/flashheader.swf",
"header", "564", "150", "8", "#000000");
		so.addParam("scale", "noscale");
		 so.addVariable("hdrtext", "<?php bloginfo('name');
?>");
		so.write("flashcontent");

		// ]]>
	</script>

<!--end flash header-->

And its working great, its passing in the blog name as a variable, but
the problem is that in IE  6 and older, the "<?php bloginfo('name');
?>" thats in "flashcontent", and should be appearing only if flash
isnt present, is getting processed anyway, so what you end up with is
the flash object generated, but then under it the content generated by
the php gets inserted as well.

The basic goal is that if flash is present, show the flash, and if its
not, run the PHP as Wordpress normally would. In this case though, in
IE 6, its doing both.

Any suggestions much appreciated,

thanks!
