Re: flash in subpages

You have src="aleksandri_flash.swf" in the <embed> tag, it should be src="http://www.aleksandri.ee/uus/aleksandri_flash.swf" or src="../aleksandri_flash.swf".

Re: flash in subpages

This is very strange. When I look at your page’s source with ‘view source’ I see this:

<script language="javascript">
	if (AC_FL_RunContent == 0) {
		alert("This page requires AC_RunActiveContent.js.");
	} else {
		AC_FL_RunContent(
			'codebase', 'http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0',
			'width', '300',
			'height', '230',
			'src', 'aleksandri_flash',
			'quality', 'high',
			'pluginspage', 'http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer',
			'align', 'middle',
			'play', 'true',
			'loop', 'true',
			'scale', 'showall',
			'wmode', 'window',
			'devicefont', 'false',
			'id', 'aleksandri_flash',
			'bgcolor', '#ffffff',
			'name', 'aleksandri_flash',
			'menu', 'true',
			'allowFullScreen', 'false',
			'allowScriptAccess','sameDomain',
			'movie', 'aleksandri_flash',
			'salign', ''
			); //end AC code
	}
</script>

<noscript>
	<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0" width="300" height="230" id="aleksandri_flash" align="middle">
	<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
	<param name="allowFullScreen" value="false" />
	<param name="movie" value="aleksandri_flash.swf" /><param name="quality" value="high" /><param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff" /><embed src="http://www.aleksandri.ee/uus/aleksandri_flash.swf" quality="high" bgcolor="#ffffff" width="300" height="230" name="aleksandri_flash" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" allowFullScreen="false" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" />
	</object>
</noscript>

But when I use ‘Edit HTML’ in the firefox Webdeveloper extension, I see this:

<script language="javascript">
	if (AC_FL_RunContent == 0) {
		alert("This page requires AC_RunActiveContent.js.");
	} else {
		AC_FL_RunContent(
			'codebase', 'http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0',
			'width', '300',
			'height', '230',
			'src', 'aleksandri_flash',
			'quality', 'high',
			'pluginspage', 'http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer',
			'align', 'middle',
			'play', 'true',
			'loop', 'true',
			'scale', 'showall',
			'wmode', 'window',
			'devicefont', 'false',
			'id', 'aleksandri_flash',
			'bgcolor', '#ffffff',
			'name', 'aleksandri_flash',
			'menu', 'true',
			'allowFullScreen', 'false',
			'allowScriptAccess','sameDomain',
			'movie', 'aleksandri_flash',
			'salign', ''
			); //end AC code
	}
</script><embed src="aleksandri_flash.swf" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" play="true" loop="true" scale="showall" wmode="window" devicefont="false" bgcolor="#ffffff" name="aleksandri_flash" menu="true" allowfullscreen="false" allowscriptaccess="sameDomain" salign="" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="300" align="middle" height="230"> 
<noscript>
	<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0" width="300" height="230" id="aleksandri_flash" align="middle">
	<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
	<param name="allowFullScreen" value="false" />
	<param name="movie" value="aleksandri_flash.swf" /><param name="quality" value="high" /><param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff" /><embed src="http://www.aleksandri.ee/uus/aleksandri_flash.swf" quality="high" bgcolor="#ffffff" width="300" height="230" name="aleksandri_flash" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" allowFullScreen="false" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" />
	</object>
</noscript>

And it’s the first <embed> tag after the javascript that needs editing.

Re: flash in subpages

That would suggest it is a path problem. With absolute paths (beginning with http://…) it should always work, but if the path is relative, and you’re on a sub-page it will not find the file. Have you tried Els’ suggestion? You have the absolute path in the noscript section which is not normally used, but in your standard embed, you have a relative path. After the javascript and before the noscript your src="..." should be as follows:

 ... </script><embed src="http://www.aleksandri.ee/uus/aleksandri_flash.swf" ...
<noscript> ...

BTW: it’s not specifically to do with your problem, but I’ve always found it easier to use swfobject to embed flash films.

but i don’t have such (els’s suggested) a code there. and if i’m adding it there, it displays a double flash. actually the second one works in subpages now. take a look

the flash i need to put to my page is located here
there is no lines after the javascript and before the noscript there. is it correct code at all?

It’s what I’m seeing when using the Webdeveloper extension in Firefox, and adding the absolute path there solves the problem. I honestly don’t know why that part of the code is not seen in the regular source code…

Re: flash in subpages

My apologies, I misread Els’ post. In the source code it shows fine and does appear to be working on the sub pages, at least one of them anyway. On your homepage http://www.aleksandri.ee/uus/ I see the gallery twice, once above the menu and again below it behind the menu. On the subpage e.g. http://www.aleksandri.ee/uus/kontakt/ I don’t see the gallery above the menu, just a white box, but I do see it behind the menu. (Mac Safari and Mac Firefox 3.0.7).

Just to throw something new into the arena: you can achieve the same crossfade gallery without using flash at all. See Jquery Innerfade which uses jquery (which is bundled with textpattern). It’s also very simple to implement.

Because it’s in the DOM (inserted to the XHTML, not in it).

solved. my mistake. i had put the slashis at the end of each menu link address:
<li><a href=”/uus/toad/”>Toad</a></li>

those slashes changed the subpages to a subfolders and that’s why flash didn’t work in subpages

looks great, thank’s for advice. i think about it next time
