FlashObject

[FSEdge]

Hello everyone,

Oh man, am I having fun here with flashobject.js workaround! I started to try and track down information on the why...when...where of it today.

Here is what I am up against. Everything works as it once did using the workaround as long as the html doc isn't saved (This is in Dreamweaver by the way starting a new html doc). By that I mean, I can drop my swf file into the html doc and this is what the path looks like before the html document is saved to a local folder:

<param name="movie" value="file:///C|/MY_websites/LSW/swf/left_side_index_articles_training_tips_page.swf">

If I use this path and copy it to:

<script type="text/javascript">
var fo = new FlashObject("file:///C|/MY_websites/LSW/swf/left_side_index_articles_training_tips_page.swf", "2flash", "108", "400", "6", "#999999");
fo.addParam("quality", "high");
fo.write("2flash");
</script>

I can launch the html doc from within Dreamweaver and all is normal when it’s viewed in IE6.

Once I save the html doc to it's local folder the swf file's path is updated to this:

<param name="movie" value="../../swf/left_side_index_articles_training_tips_page.swf">

When I copy the new path into the workaround and test run the html doc from any location be it local or remote, the swf file embedded fails to show up.

If anyone can help me to see what I’m doing wrong, I’d really appreciate the effort.

If not, thanks for your time.

Should I post this in the Dreamweaver forum? Sorry if I'm in the wrong place asking questions on this.

Best regards,

FSEdge

The path to the SWF may be incorrect. Where is it in relation to your HTML file?
