embeding swfs.
Is anyone using the ufo method to successfully embed swf objects/movies in txp pages.
Im having problems after the initial page within a site is left for another page.
Something happens with the cache or something that causes the script not to work. It doesnt matter if the head script is in a form or right on the page.
Seems to be the same problem when i tried the adobe method as well. If anyones got either of these to methods working than id love to find out how. Id rather use the ufo method though.
I had this problem a year ago and was helped out with it, cant remember how.
heres the header bit that i think gets overlooked after the initial page load.
<script type="text/javascript" src="ufo.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var FO = { movie:"team.swf", width:"50", height:"50", majorversion:"6", build:"0", xi:"true" };
UFO.create(FO, "team");
</script>

Re: embeding swfs.
can’t tell without looking at the page but are you sure ufo.js is being loaded each time? looks like you’re not using absolute or proper relative urls to load it.

Instead of using the ufo js why don’t you go for the_video plugin. Simple and if you apply the patch provided it validates as well.

Re: embeding swfs.
well now it seems you’ve dropped ufo and are using kimili flash embed…although the ufo issue was most likely you not using proper relative or absolute urls.
that tag error shows up on debugging/test mode but disappears once you set it to live.

yes iblastoff ive tried 4 embed methods now and all have the same problem. but i might have just found the reason. Im running the site on a hidden url for testing behind the live site. In my site prefs i have “www.jfl.ie/index.php” for the site url. It seems like that might be the cause of this, i cant really test it till the site goes live though..
colak i dont think that will work.
thanks guys

Re: embeding swfs.

Re: embeding swfs.
Could it be the path? Because the plugin outputs:
<script type="text/javascript">
// <![CDATA[
var so_146671384 = new SWFObject("team.swf","fm_team_146671384","50","50","6","","","","","","");
so_146671384.write("so_targ_team_146671384");
// ]]>
</script>Shouldn’t it be something like /team. Like <txp:kml_flashembed movie="/team.swf" />
PS. the path isn’t http://www.jfl.ie/index.php/ it’s http://www.jfl.ie/index.php
Cheers!
