I still looking for ways of running Flash Movies in Firefox???

The code provided in the DNN Creative tutorial does not run (as Lee says) but Joe mention that he run Flash that works well in Fire fox.

I seen many other tutorials that run in Fire Fox.

 

Any solutions out there – please?

Any piece of code available that does work in Firefox? – the below code does not show anything in Firefox but runs fine in IE 6 and IE 7.

 

THANKS !!!!

((((((((“””<    div align="center" > < object codebase =" Suppose to be code sample but it all mangle up in this editor. ””””)))))))

 

PS. Also, can I put an “Alt Text” in the Flash Movies? Could be good if they doesn’t show up somewhere.

Here is how we have done it ...

< center >
< div> < object align="middle" id="memory" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0" classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" >
< param value="/Portals/0/images/games_animation.swf" name="movie" / >
< param value="high" name="quality" / >
< param value="#ffffff" name="bgcolor" / >
< param value="opaque" name="wmode" / > < embed align="middle" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="opaque" bgcolor="#ffffff" quality="high" src="/Portals/0/images/games_animation.swf" >< /embed > < /object >< /div >
< /center >

Note that I put in a bunch of spaces to break the tags, so you'll have to edit them out.

We paste this into the "source" part of a Text/HTML module ...

Thanks Joe.

 

Yes it is working, I have a Flash photo display here:

http://www.planetmudgeeraba.com/ImageDisplay/tabid/198/Default.aspx

 

However, I haven’t manage to put in sizing anywhere that are detected by firefox?

 

I tried “param – name” size, height / width but neither Firefox or IE seems to notice that.

 

This string re-size in IE, but not in Firefox.

codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#versio n=9,0,28,0" height="400" width="500"

 

Cheers

H guys.

I found this site and some good information on Flash embedding.
http://code.google.com/p/swfobject/wiki/documentation

The SWFObject2 seems to be the latest when it comes to embedding Flash movies.

However, the code includes JAVA Script, and I enter the string as shown below. When I then reopen the text/html module the Java script is removed?

Why is this happening?
And what can I do about it?

First the SWFObject2 I entered: (With spaces or commas.)
<, div align="center" ,>
<, object classid="clsid27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="780" height="420", >
<, param name="movie" value="/dotnetnuke/Portals/25/Flash/AnimationDemo.swf" / ,>
<,!--[if !IE],>--,>
<,object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="/dotnetnuke/Portals/25/Flash/AnimationDemo.swf" width="275" height="300",>
<,!,--
<,p,>Alternative content,<,/p,>
<,!--[if !IE]>--,>
<,/object,>
<,!--
<,/object,>
<,/div,>

Then the remains after DotNetNuke has modified it:
<,div align="center",><,object height="420" width="780" classid="clsid27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000",>
<,param value="/dotnetnuke/Portals/25/Flash/AnimationDemo.swf" name="movie" /,>,<,/,object,>,<,/,div,>

Cheers

If you paste that as "raw" HTML, it shouldn't be removed.

You can also put stuff like that into the header or footer for the module.  That's under Advanced settings.

You might also consider using something like DigFlash.

"raw" HTML is one of the modes available with the DotNetNuke editor.

DigFlash is the name of a module that you can use to play flash movies in your DotNetNuke installation.
