[SWFObject] Audio Flash Player

[Patricia Davidson]

I understand what you are saying and by looking at the output file, I
can see where it is looking for the particular file and can't find it,
except the first one.

Here is an example in another blog (EE by pMachine ) where I've added
a Flash video player and used swfOject for it.

Since we are dealing with php programming, this site is set up to
display the player whenever a movie is detected.  So I used one div,
but the programming says to look for the file - hope that makes sense.
http://www.mikenpat.com/index.php/site/fire_on_the_chetco/

here is the output code if you view source:
<div id="flashcontent">
  This text is replaced by the Flash movie.
</div>

<script type="text/javascript">
   var so = new
SWFObject("http://www.mikenpat.com/player/flvplayer.swf?file=http://mikenpat.com/movies/bike_ride_video.flv&autoStart=true",
"mymovie", "320", "240", "7", "#f9f8f2");
   so.write("flashcontent");
   so.addParam("wmode", "transparent");
</script>

Now what the script looks like in the page template through EE:

{if flvideo}
<div id="flashcontent">
  This text is replaced by the Flash movie.
</div>

<script type="text/javascript">
   var so = new
SWFObject("http://www.mikenpat.com/player/flvplayer.swf?file={flvideo}&autoStart=true",
"mymovie", "320", "240", "7", "#f9f8f2");
   so.write("flashcontent");
   so.addParam("wmode", "transparent");
</script>
{/if}

So using this as an example, I'm assuming that I can do something to
tell the programming to look for the particular file that is within
each blog entry.

Back to Gold Beach youth group site.  I thought I could do something like this:
{if audioplayer != ""}
<div id="flashcontent">
  This text is replaced by the Flash Audio Player.
</div>

<script type="text/javascript">
       var so = new
SWFObject("http://goldbeachyouthgroup.com/player/player.swf",
"audioplayer2", "290", "24", "7");
        so.addVariable("soundFile",
"http://goldbeachyouthgroup.com/player/player.swf?file={audioplayer}");
       so.addVariable("bg", "0xDDA246");
       so.addVariable("slider", "0xAF0000");
       so.addVariable("track", "0xFFFFFF");
       so.addVariable("border", "0xFFFFFF");
       so.addVariable("loader", "0x790022");
       so.addParam("wmode", "transparent");
       so.addParam("menu", "false");
       so.write("flashcontent");
</script>
{/if}


Since the tempate / page template only has this item once but will
display whenever and audio is detected within an entry.  Does that
make better sense where I"m at with this?  I've tried posting to EE
forum, but maybe no one is using swfOject and doesn't understand what
I'm trying to do.

Thanks for the help.
