Hello. I am a application developer attempting to use SWFObject to display Flash Movies.
Specifically, I am using the dojo framework to house an application style interface (panels, toolbars, etc.). One of the javascript events I am attempting to implement involves dynamically placing a SWF in an existing canvas that the user can interact with. Javascript is used to manage the majority of the application, with the SWF being used to provide some unique text-editing capabilities that we haven't been able to reliably do with just Javascript alone. Oddly enough (in my experience), the app works perfectly well (with minor bugs that are no doubt my code) on the Mac, using Firefox3 and/ or Safari. However, users on the PC are stymied. From the app perspective, the SWF files never get loaded, which is problematic. :) Using a Parallels PC as well as some standalone PC based laptops, I've installed both FF2.0.0.18 and FF3.0.4 and run into the exact same issue. These are all clean installs, so I don't believe i am running into the documented adblocker problem (although it would be a great relief if that was it). So I guess I need some pointers. :) 1. How can I definitively prove/disprove that I don't have an adblocker clowning me on the PC side? 2. When I trace the code execution path, I get to swfobject.embedSWF; it executes, and code proceeds without any errors thrown. However, both visually I see no flash movie, and programatically I have a callback function that is supposed to be called when the movie is loaded. This function gets called just fine on the Mac side, but on the PC side... nada. 3. Should I make attempts with the old SWFObject1.5 to see if adblock is my issue? I have read some material, but it's unclear what the caveats are for NOT using SWFObject v2 over the 1.5 version. (And I would also be curious if there's any plans on reimplementing the feature where you replace what is INSIDE a div vs. replacing the entire div? I'm curious mostly what motivated that change in the first place, as it seems like there's a decent amount of code inflation that occurs working around that change in implementation). Thank you very much in advance for at least thinking about this problem. I hope to have some relevant code to post shortly once I secure permission from my client. But PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE if you have any thoughts or suggestions, I would be appreciative of hearing them.
