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

Mon May 1 08:46:44 PDT 2006

Sorry for the delay in my reply, thanks for the insight as to why using SwfObject would be better than continuing in the manner we are currently... I am pushing like hell on my boss to let me integrate it for the sake of accessibility and so fourth, but I just don't think he seems to care. Well not until something blows up and a million clients are calling asking why their sites are no longer working properly... So anyway I will study the files, and be ready when he comes to us to fix the problem... and as usual he will then in turn take all the credit... he's never even opened flash.... ha-ha

Thanks again

  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,

        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.
