Hi, sorry i no programmer but like your work. can you show a quick example how to embed a flash object using your module ? Thanks

Hi! i love your module! great work. but i got some truble getting it to loop my swf file. only plays ones. i added "loop" and "true" to parameter and value 1.

and im also confused were i chould get my "ID" tag from..

One small bug, if I try and use this to show more than one swf on a page, it will only display one of them, the other shows the alternative content

I ran into the same bug trying to run two of these modules at once. Any suggestions on how this can be remedied would greatly appreciated! Great module, btw, I use it often. This is the first time I've tried loading it more than once on a page and found this bug. Any ideas?

How can I centre the flash content in the module Thanks

I loaded my swf with an xml and image file into the lib folder, hoping it would work and it didn't! When I uploaded a regular swf into that folder and set the path to it, it works fine, can I pay you to help me?

Hi, I also got a small problem there, how to only show flash file in one particular page, because when i select 'Menu Item(s) from the List', it doesnt show anything, in my case, the module only works if i select display on 'all' pages.

How do you duplicate the module on the same page? When we do, only one swf plays

How do you duplicate the module on the same page? When we do, only one swf plays please its important, thank you

having a spot of bother created 4 swf flash files. i'm wanting to make the vid load as it goes rather than having to wait forever for the whole vid to load at start up. this set of .swf's should play off each other in a loop.

worked great 4 me. thanks

Thanks for he module it works great. Have a quick question. For people who do not have flash I have an image populating the module from the alternative content that is built in. Is there anyway to remove the default get flash that populates below the alt content.

thanks again for the module

i have the same question as jaze (above comment)

Hi, this works as you expect it.

BUT

With the advent of tablet pc's and lack of flash support(ipad etc) I wanted to "No Flash Proof" my site. So started retrofitting code to support this via the "No Flash HTML" advanced parameter. I tested in IE, FF and chrome. All worked except chrome. (not tested on ipad yet)

example In chrome,

senario 1 - When I disable the flash plugin , all I see is a "missing plugin" message.

senario 2 - If I also disable javascript plugin I get the code I expected.

Would like it to work in either senario,

It could be a chrome issue, but thought I would point it out.

Any help is appreciated - Thanks

please explain us how to make it work with more modules on the same page.. whats actually the ID.. please for deeper explanation! thanks- its a very cool module

Hey there, thanks very much for the module, its great but I have one question? How can I remove the Grey border which surrounds the flash object when I select transparent, its annoying me I can't seem to figure how to get rid of it.

Here is a link to the page: http://watertecs.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=category&layout=blog&id=49&Itemid=67

Regards

hey, guys! All my apologies for no responding earlier. I solved the small bug that made impossible to show more than one module per page.

To do that it's very important that you use different ID for the different modules, and you have to upgrade to version 1.0 or greater.

thanks!

Hi, Please can you explain how to access my .xml file to load images?. The module is displaying but not loading images. How do i tell the module where the .xml is in the parameters?. Hope you can help as this module is perfect for my site.

Thanks

the test is @ http://originaldesignprints.com/index.php?page=shop.browse&category_id=28&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=53

I installed the module, worked for about an hour, then stopped working, now all I get is the "download flash" button. I tried my swf file in an html file, and works in my browser, but using your module, I get the "download flash..." can you please help?

Currently when someone views the module who doesn't have Flash installed it prompts the user to download flash player. We need to turn that message off, or remove from the code, so it just shows the alternate code with no message prompt. Is this possible?

updated to v1.1

you have the option to enable or disable the flash player link button. Default is disabled.

I just tried to install the latest version of mod_swfobject_v2.0.zip but the installed tells me "Error! Could not find a Joomla! XML setup file in the package." Is there something missing?

Hi there, I'm working with a flash doc that goes full screen. Can't get the full screen paramater to work using the dashboard. Should I instead embed it in one of the module files? If so, which one.

<param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" />

I've got the same question as some people: Currently when someone views the module who doesn't have Flash installed it prompts the user to download flash player. We need to turn that message off, or remove from the code, so it just shows the alternate code with no message prompt. Is this possible? Anyone found the answer? I've hidden the text with CSS but if possible I rather not show it at all...?

I was trying to pass a xml file as a FlashVar?, but i couldn't until i modified these lines in helper.php, and added quotes to the var... from: $script .= $params->get('var_n1','').':'.$params->get('var_v1',''); to: $script .= $params->get('var_n1','').':"'.$params->get('var_v1','').'"';

Had to do the same for the other 3 vars.

I also noticed there's a reference to the showMenu parameter, but that's missing from mod_swfobject.xml

Keep up the good work!

hi there the to me is working but i can't run this in all pages any sugestion?

Do you know how do i center the objects?

Hi I tried in Joomla 1.6 with mod_swfobject_v2.0.zip but the flash is not displaying in the browser. I tried the source file there is no flash object inserted . I am getting the output as "

"Alternative flash content

Requirements "

I installed the module for joomla 1.6 and have activated it. I dont understand what i should place in advanced options (flash player link, window mode, allow script access, parameter name, parameter value, variable name, variable value, etc) to make this work?

I installed the module and my swf doesn't show up...

Questions:

ID: Do I just make this up or am I suppose to know what to put in here? Your "documentation" doesn't say.

Name: What do I enter here? Is this the name of the module, the name of the swf, or something else??? Your documentation doesn't say.

Thanks for the great module,

I installed the module for joomla 1.6 and have activated it,but I dont understand that why the module only show on the Home page and the other pages are not ?

iam waiting the answer

Thanks in advance

fixed SEF issue since version 2.1

I ran into an issue when trying to load a swf file from an external location. I've modified the code to check for external swf file links, if found it will not use the base url and instead just use the whole 'File Path'. A feature worth adding?

Hi All To remove the message that shows when flash is not available you need to delete or comment out a line in the mod_swobject/tmp/default.php file <p><?php echo JText::('Requirements');?></p> Then you can add your own content undisturbed :)

I'm trying to get

<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://www.eyejot.com/flash/eyejot.swf" classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0" width="275" height="315" align="middle">

<param name="FlashVars" value="user_guid=2C3C2E917B52A80000201BFE78&user_name=scott_see" /> <param name="movie" value="http://www.eyejot.com/flash/eyejot.swf" /> <param name="quality" value="high" /> <param name="wmode" value="transparent" /> <embed src="http://www.eyejot.com/flash/eyejot.swf" quality="high" wmode="transparent" flashvars="user_guid=2C3C2E917B52A80000201BFE78&user_name=scott_see" width="275" height="315" align="middle" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"></embed>

to work. It works on http://www.steps-to-starting-your-business.com/contact-us.php which is plain HTML.

It should appear on http://hammock.net/index.php/8-theme653/sample-pages/1-every-project-starts-with-listening but it's not working. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

I see one problem. I looked at the source code for this page and see

http://hammock.net/http://www.eyejot.com/flash/eyejot.swf

No way that can work. How do I get rid of the http://hammock.net/?

thanks,

Scott

Installed this into Joomla 1.6, didn't know what the ID was either and finally just left this field empty (default - "flashid" was inserted) and this worked fine.

Drop down menus didn't run over the top in IE until I set ADVANCED OPTIONS > Window Mode = Transparent

Hello, Great Plugin superwal. One question please, like Lyndo...@gmail.com above, (on May 2, 2011)

I would also like to add external flash content, but don't know what he did to do so. Can anyone help with his?

Would it be possible to add this functionality to the official extension as well please?

Thanks in advance, B

Hi.

I'm interested in this plugin to create a small Flash object for my home page and have a question.

Does this plugin require that the Flash object run in a module? I don't use modules on my site and want to simply run it in <div> in my Article.

Many thanks. Tom

Hi

A great module, excellent work.

However, I'm using this in a joomla 1.7 installation and any page showing this module is not being displyed in IE 5 or 6. A page error occurs "Internet Explorer cannot open the internet site" and the page does not load. A little academic but some people like to be able to target these older browsers.

Thanks Adam

Hi, I am trying to show a SWF in a module that displays on a single page. All I am seeing is a black video box, no video content. What am I doing wrong? Thanks, terry

Hi, I am writing the path to my file but nothing happens. My file doesn`t appear in the module. How should I fix this?

it is really good module, I was using images instead of download flash player content for viewing non flash devices.

I saw there is alternative content however I also saw that it doesnt accept html for example <img src.... is there anyway to this box accept html code

thanks

using 1.7.3 joomla

To have an image in the alternative content, you can define a background in the css. For example: div #flashid{background: url(yourimage.jpg);} not perfect, but it works.

For developers: To allow image tags (or other html tags) in the 'Alternative Content' textarea field, add a filter attribute to it's field tag in the mod_swfobject.xml file.

The file is located at: /modules/mod_swfobject/mod_swfobject.xml The field tag is located around line 63.

You can add either: filter="safehtml" (does not remove HTML from string inputs), OR filter="raw" (does not do any filtering at all. Use with extreme caution)

So your new field may look something like: <field name="alt_content" type="textarea" cols="35" rows="10" default="" label="Alternative content" filter="safehtml" description="HTML to display if flash player is not detected." />

Hope this helps!!
