I am able to post flash videos to my website as long as I can hard code the video filename into the <object> code. Like this:
<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/ swflash.cab#version=7,0,0,0" width="800" height="450" id="player1" align="middle"> <param name="movie" value="passing.swf"/> <param name="menu" value="false"/> <param name="quality" value="high"/> <param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF"/> <noscript><a href="http://www.dvdvideosoft.com/products/dvd/Free- YouTube-Download.htm">youtube video</a></noscript> <embed src="passing.swf" menu="false" quality="high" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" width="800" height="450" name="player" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"/> </object> I have a page that allows the video to be selected from a list that is populated from an Access database. I want the page to then call a generic flash page with an HTML parm of filename and have the single page display all the videos from my site. The parm is being passed and received but I can't get the flash player pick it up and play it. The value passed is being received in a variable named "video". I have tried: <param name="movie" value="passing.swf?video"/> <param name="movie" value=<%=video %>/> <param name="movie" value=Request.QueryString("video")/> etc. All with no success. I do understand that I need to put it in both the param line and also the embed line so that's not the problem. I have googled this subject and found several references to the <param name="movie" value="passing.swf?video"/> method but they were all very vague as to the method of reading the command line parm and transfering it to the param line. Thanx in advance for any help. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "SWFObject" group. To post to this group, send email to [email protected].
