Re: kml_flashembed: Kimili Flash Embed
Brain – You seem to be using a really old version of the plugin. Try updating it and see if you still have the problem.
Cheers!

Hi, I think I have the same problem. Flash menu shows up in page sections (subpages) but not when viewing articles (movie not loaded). Please help! Thanks.

Re: kml_flashembed: Kimili Flash Embed
Hey there guys,
great plugin! I’m just having two issues:
1. I want to manage the flash files through the “files” tab – how can I do this?
2. Can you post examples of how to use each variable? For example: I’m not sure how to use the base variable. As I’m trying to manage the flash files through the file management tab I want to be able to point to the siteurl/files/ folder. How do I do this?
Thanks again for a great plugin,
Benvolio

Re: kml_flashembed: Kimili Flash Embed
Hi,
I’m having problems with IE: the movie isn’t displayed. If I look at the source, all the plug-in output is there, but the movie isn’t displayed.
Of course, I have no problem in FF.
Anyone knows what could be happening?

Re: kml_flashembed: Kimili Flash Embed
@Brain – In order for the express install to work, a visitor to the site needs at least the Flash Player version 6.0.65. Additionally, your flash movie needs to be published as version 7 or above. Should those 2 conditions be fulfilled, the express install will work. On your page, the flash is published as version 6 (which, by the way, has approximately a 97% penetration rate). If somebody comes to the site with a flash 5 player (or no flash player), they won’t get the express install functionality. So as you can see, the name “Express Install” is a little misleading – it’s really an “Express Upgrade”.
In any case, you should provide non-flash content in the form of html within the div (or whatever element) you’re writing the flash to. If the flash content can be displayed, it will overwrite any html you put within the target div.
Cheers!

Re: kml_flashembed: Kimili Flash Embed
thanks for the plugin, i was just testing it a little bit, then changed something in my .swf file and now i cant get it to work anymore. (strange, i know). i’m trying this on a clean txp test install
in the article form i’m using:
<code> <txp:kml_flashembed movie=“http://dev.750frames.com/clean/files/untitled.swf” height=“200” width=“300” fvars=” title = $title ; excerpt = $excerpt “ /></code>
could someone give me a hint what i might be doing wrong concerning the flash file? i normally dont work with flash, therefore i’m a real newbie at these things.
i was so happy that it worked once, but what the heck is going on now?
i’d be more than happy to get a little help from you guys or maybe an example .fla (the one from geoff stearns site wont open here (flash mx2004))

Re: kml_flashembed: Kimili Flash Embed
I have a problem with an update from version 0.4 to 1.1
I tried to update the plugin on txp 4.0.3 and get this error:
Parse error: parse error, expecting `’,’‘ or `’)’‘ in /home/httpd/vhosts/mydomain.com/httpdocs/entextpattern/lib/txplib_misc.php(459) : eval()’d code(286) : eval()’d code on line 1
the usage is as follows:
<txp:kml_flashembed movie=“http://www.mydomain.com/swf/my.swf” height=“191” width=“780” target=“headerimage” fversion=“7.0” menu=“false” bgcolor=”#f6f6da” wmode=“opaque” quality=“best” fvars=” section = $s; category = $c; site_url = $siteurl; path_url = /images/content/; image_url = header.jpg “/>

Re: kml_flashembed: Kimili Flash Embed
Has been a while since I’ve developed in textpattern, and am having a problem with this tag on a site I’m working on.
I have got it working when hardcoding what’s in the movie field, but I’d like to use custom fields to store the URL of the movie (either the absolute URL or just a filename). I’m using <txp:kml_flashembed movie="<txp:custom_field name="video" />" height="405" width="622" /> but that isn’t working.
Anyone have any ideas?

Re: kml_flashembed: Kimili Flash Embed
Now that was fast. Thanks!
Edit: worked like a charm. Ideally I’ll be using one SWF and passing the URL for the video using flashvars, but I’m not sure how to do that at the moment, and the site needs to be live so this is a good stopgap until then

Re: kml_flashembed: Kimili Flash Embed
Hi,
I’m using slideshow pro for my portfolio projects and I’ve dynamically assigned XML file and using just one .swf file.
I’m using this method but wondering if there are any alternatives:
I put kimili plugin code in my articles and each article has differrent: fvars=” xmlfile = absolute/path/to/file.xml ”
I’d like to know is there another solution that can put the plugin code out of the article?
Another approach (but then again I don’t know if that’s possible) would be to create a .swf for every project, create a custom field “slideshow” and then call the id of uploaded .swf file inside the article + put the plugin code inside the form and use fvars with custom field…
Any solutions are welcome.
Thanks!
