plugin to use SWFObject instead of embeds

This is not another request, it's an offer for you to get a working plugin

You can find it in the plugins repository (http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=br ... tid=737639) the download and demo is available at http://martinezdelizarrondo.com/swfobject/

it uses the SWFObject 2 (you need to download it by yourself) code so the flash movies are generated from a script and your pages will validate and poor IE users won't see the click to activate (Opera users also suffer the same problem, but at least they use a better browser and they also will be happier if you use this plugin)

Re: plugin to use SWFObject instead of embeds

I have tried to install this plugin in a drupal 6.5 installation. The fckeditor is working fine and does the usual embed method. I followed your installation instructions for this plugin but does not replace the embed method. I am using fckeditor 2.6.3 . If you know that your plugin works for this setup then the only thing I can figure is that the " FCKConfig.swfObjectPath = '/scripts/swfobject.js' ;" is wrong. I was assuming that your path description either starts from the site root or from the directory that the fckconfig.js is in. I put in both places but still no replacement of the normal embed function even after clearing the cache. What do you think I have wrong?

On another note I like to use the IMCE browser module instead of the default one. Do you see any issues with this?

Re: plugin to use SWFObject instead of embeds

Can you check with firebug or fiddler that the plugin file is really loaded?

I don't know anything about drupal, but as long as you can use javascript in your page you should be able to use the code generated by the plugin

Re: plugin to use SWFObject instead of embeds

However the swfobject plugin for some reason does not work with drupal 6.5 and fckeditor 2.6.3. I have added the plugin exactly as described in your installation notes and also added

FCKConfig.Plugins.Add( 'swfobject', 'en,es') ;

to the fckeditor.config.js file in the drupal fckeditor module that adds some customization and interface for drupal. When I insert an swf file with your config I get a flash placeholder with the scource code as such:

<img width="100" height="100" src="http://localhost/nsurround.com/modules/fckeditor/fckeditor/editor/images/spacer.gif" style="border: 1px solid black; background: white url(../../plugins/swfobject/images/preview.png) no-repeat scroll center; display: block; -moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial;" swfobjectnumber="2008921173458" /><br />

As you can see it has nothing to do with a flash file. Maybe with this info, you might have a better idea of what I might be doing wrong or if the plugin will not work with the current drupal 6 and fckeditor. Hope this helps and thanks for responding back so soon. Let me know what you think.

Re: plugin to use SWFObject instead of embeds

I have the same problem trying to install the plugin. I have followed the instructions from the author's page. I have tried to put, in the fckeditor.js "FCKConfig.swfObjectPath = FCKConfig.BasePath + '/plugins/swfobject/src/swfobject.js' ;"and FCKConfig.swfObjectPath = '/scripts/swfobject.js' ; but neither of two works. What am i doing wrong?
Ok, I didn't download the plugin. :oops: Where can I find it? I have searched around the sourceforge repository and i didn't find anything.

Re: plugin to use SWFObject instead of embeds

you don't have to modify fckeditor.js just your configuration file, and the download page is linked in the first post, check the versions.
There might be a newer release even easier to install, but currently I'm quite busy.

Re: plugin to use SWFObject instead of embeds

So, in fckconfig.js, which path should I put? the one you say in your page or the one I used, with FCKEditor.BasePath in it?

:?:

P.D. I have another problem now, I don't know is related with the problem of installation. :oops:

The javascript generated by swfobject dissapears when I save. Also, if i add the code 

 <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/5m8XX_wzkZQ&hl=es&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/5m8XX_wzkZQ&hl=es&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

it dissapears too.

I don't know what I' m doing wrong.

Thanks for your patience.

Re: plugin to use SWFObject instead of embeds

You should put the path to wherever you have placed the swfobject library. You can put it anywhere you like, and if you don't write it correctly you will get a 404 hit in your server when the final page is viewed (and of course the flash movie won't be shown)

If saving the code makes some parts of it dissapear, then you should look at your server configuration and your server script. That's not related to this plugin.

Thank you very much, the problem was the pattern used by the portal for stripping Cross Site Scripting attacks. ;)

Re: plugin to use SWFObject instead of embeds

As I said, that must be due to another plugin that it's reusing also the image processor.
I hope that you don't expect me to install Drupal in order to try to reproduce your problems.
