Hi Philip, Thanks for your prompt reply. This forum is a great idea. I've read the FAQ page you linked to and bookmarked it - very useful!
Re: #1 - I'll look into this one more, although since my code works perfectly with SWFObject 2.0, I'm sceptical. I came across a similar issue (with % width and height values) in Firefox a while ago when upgrading from SWFObject 1.5 to 2.0. A few months later, the issue seemed to have been resolved. Re: #14 - I don't have any such extensions installed in Firefox. Re: I'm curious... Let's see if I'm getting this right - I use dynamic embedding as the primary method which overwrites the "myAlternativeContent" div tag. If that fails for some reason then the static content remains and you can still see embedded Flash. Since this is a PHP script, it's very easy to switch either embed method on or off to test it with various browsers with various settings. Since this plugin is intended for use in various schools, colleges, universities, companies, NGOs and govt. organisations, where they often have strange restrictions on what users can and can't do, I need a "foolproof" embed method. Are you saying that I should only use static content? Please let me know if I'm way off track! @Kyle: Here's a link to my demo course where I've got the plugin working with SWFObject 2.0 - http://matbury.com/moodle/course/view.php?id=9 (Login as a guest) Unfortunately, I can't use SWFObject 2.2 on this site since it would prevent some of my user groups from accessing Flash applications. You can view/download the SWF Activity Module and FLV Player code from these Google Code project sites: SWF Activity Module: http://code.google.com/p/swf-activity-module/ FLV Player: http://code.google.com/p/moodle-flv-player/ Thanks again for your help :) On Jan 10, 10:57 pm, Philip Hutchison <[email protected]> wrote: > hi matt > > swfobject 2.x has been thoroughly tested in firefox 2.x and 3.x. > > check out the FAQs to see if any apply to you (esp #1 and > #14)http://code.google.com/p/swfobject/wiki/faq > > i'm curious: why are you using both static publishing AND dynamic publishing > for the same swf? you should normally use one or the other, not both (using > both is redundant and won't get you any extra functionality or > compatibility). > > - philip > > > > On Sun, Jan 10, 2010 at 1:14 PM, Matt Bury <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi, > > > I'm developing a plugin module for an open source PHP learning > > management system (Moodle) that leverages the JW FLV Player from > > LongtailVideo.com.
