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.

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!

Re: kml_flashembed: Kimili Flash Embed
Hi Everyone –
Just a post to let you know that I’ve just released an updated version of KFE. The major improvements are:
- Proper posting of your SWFs in RSS and Atom feeds.
- Improved
fvarsparsing that now allows you to pass in a URL with a query string or a JSON object as a parameter value. - A new attribute –
targetclass– which applies a class name to the target<div>element in which your SWF renders. - Javascript updated to the latest version of SWFObject
You can grab it now: Kimili Flash Embed for Textpattern v1.2
Cheers!

Re: kml_flashembed: Kimili Flash Embed
When I install your new plug-in, my flash files won’t work in IE7. It still works in ie6/firefox pc and safari/firefox mac.
It displays a text “we’re currently in a site”. When I copy the phpcode from version 1.1 it works like a charm. Can’t seem to figure out why it doesn’t work, but I thought I just let you know.

Re: kml_flashembed: Kimili Flash Embed
Thanks, Nejra – You found a bit of my debug code that was hidden deep in the file. It’s been removed and the download has been updated.
As for IE7, it seem to be exhibiting a bizarre behaivor where the Javascript breaks when its being read in from the php file. The same JS, though, read in from a plain .JS file works fine.
It’s going to take some more investigation to get to the bottom of that one…
Thanks,
Michael
