Re: [flexcoders] OMFG, i am about to go crazy - SOLVED - uh I think
Tom:
I do use Adobe's flash detection. I wasn't using the var minVersion so,
that's my bad. Actually, I have issues with swfObject and logging
people out of our php session so i never use it.
Adobe's solution is good, except it's very exacting, the way it's
implemented on a page. For instance, don't try to use Adobe's detection
kit in one long set of js code in the middle of the page... It doesn't
seem to work that way for IE. Also, I even tried to have php echo
javascript, which I thought was excellent but did not work around the
click to activate garbage.
The issue for this situation is that there's a bunch of php files and I
am inserting flash into one part of a page, in this case I couldn't edit
the file with the head tag because there's several pages that had
different head tags that my or may not include the script with my flash
embed tag. I assume for flash detection to be perfect from adobe, you
need to include the AC_OETag.js file in the head. Alternatively, I had
just just before the flash and that was my issue. I am not sure why of
the reason for this? Maybe someone can shed some light on this topic as
I am not Mr. Javascript
Thanks,
Patrick

Re: [flexcoders] OMFG, i am about to go crazy - SOLVED - uh I think
Tracy: We did, however, it never fails, one of our developers had Flashplayer 9.016 with IE7 (which seemed to be the issue). I personally am resisting ie7 indefinitely Especially since you can't run both ie6 and 7 on one computer. I got a little worked up today, but doesn't this stuff drive developers crazy? Lately, all my time is spent figuring out why embedding flash in ie7 fails to give me back a non-defined id error in ie and other cross browser compatibility issues of the sort. My hack was actually embedding a swf on the page in another place with a a duplicate id to fool the browser. But my point is...we shouldn't have to do that - that takes us away from actually getting things done quickly. I mean, flash development is already complex enough and for dynamic pages like the ones that I am making it's a real magic trick. Does anyone have any suggestions or advice? I am a little lower on the developer food chain than a lot of people on this list. Unfortunately, for me, we don't develop from flex/flash 100% top down... I basically do AS3 for flash and flex and deploy in a page with a lot of html... So, having components that talk to the page is essential. I wish firefox had a better adoption rate because it's so much easier to develop in because it just works and with plug-ins like firebug and web developer and flash tracer... it's a joy to use as my main browser. Why can't the general public be convinced of better 'free' alternatives that work better than the one that comes with their computer. The firefox adoption rate is analagous to the same amount of people who buy a new car and stick with the same stock shitty radio that came with it which is like 80%.

I am so frustrated because this makes me look like I am some kind of shitty developer. What the hell to do? I think adobe should sue Microshit!
