Hi everyone,
I've found a strange bug occurring with swfobject in divs in IE. sometimes
the stage.width parameter in the movie reads 0, completely at random. Just
seeing if this is a problem other people have found and whether its
regarding a certain version of the flash activex player, the swfobject
itself, or the css rules that are being used in the containing DIV.
Cheers

Yep, My bad. I was remembering an earlier incarnation on my machine which
had a full if/else block, so I did have a 3rd return in there. It then got
ditched it when I was looking at compacting/optimising the code. Been a
long
day.... :)

it will still return "" if it doesn't find anything...
the extra return was redundant as it will just do nothing once the loop is
done.
you can test this by going to my test page and putting this in the address
bar:
javascript:alert(getQueryParamValue("test"));
here's the test page url:
http://dev.deconcept.com/1.4.2_test/swfobject.html
you'll see it alert an empty string.

Great. One thing though. I think we still need to have an empty string
return if it loops through all the pairs and doesn't find a match. The one
return you have at present returns an empty string only if there is no
query
string found at all. ( need 3 returns in total as below)
deconcept.util =
{
getRequestParameter: function(param)
{
var q = document.location.search || document.location.hash;
if(q)
{
var pairs = q.substring(1).split("&");
for (var i=0; i < pairs.length; i++)
{
if (pairs[i].substring(0, pairs[i].indexOf("=")) == param)
{
// return matched key value
return pairs[i].substring((pairs[i].indexOf("=")+1));
}
}
// empty string if no match found
return "";
}
// empty string if no querystring at all
return "";
}
}

i'm going to check this into the svn repository in a few mins, i have a
couple other things to test first.

I believe I have found a bug in your query params function with swfObject.
The way you are returning values from your search means that it will return
the value of the 1st parameter which contains the substring of the name
passed into getQueryParamValue(), not necessarily the actual value you
want!
e.g.
somepage.html?myEmailName=aaaa at aaaa.com&Email=xxxx at xxxx.com
<mailto:somepage.html?myEmailName=aaaa at aaaa.com&Email=xxxx at xxxx.com>
getQueryParamValue('Email');
will actually return <mailto:aaaa at aaaa.com> aaaa at aaaa.com, as the value as
"Email" was found in the 1st param name string.
I think you need to actually split the params into an array and do a full
text match. I wrote the below as a fix for myself quickly, and itdesigned
to
be readable, not compact, but you get the idea.
function getRequestParameter (key)
{
var q = document.location.search || document.location.hash;
if(q)
{
var qArray = q.substring(1).split("&");
var len = qArray.length;
for (i = 0; i<len; i++)
{
var pair = qArray[i];
var splitIndex = pair.indexOf("=");
var paramName = pair.substring(0, splitIndex);
var paramValue= pair.substring((splitIndex+1));
if (paramName == key)
{
return paramValue;
}
}
return "";
}
return "";
}
You could compact it like:
function getRequestParameter (key) {
var q = document.location.search || document.location.hash;
if(q) {
var qArray = q.substring(1).split("&");
for (i = 0; i<qArray.length; i++) {
if (qArray[i].substring(0, qArray[i].indexOf("=")) == key) return
qArray[i].substring((qArray[i].indexOf("=")+1));
}
return "";
}
return "";
}

Aran
