thanks sam, i am not really blaming swfobject (i know its sounds like it, but it really is not my intent). the button has no function other than for me to just print out a message. i was able to embed using the "twice cooked method" but read so many references on other forums that the swfobject was the best tool and should be considered when workingwith flash on the web. i basically wanted flash to be my front end user interface. yes thebottons on the other embed method behaved okay. i am not giving up on swfobject yet, just a bit disappointed. i will look at the resources you noted and i do thank you for your responding and help.doug --- On Sun, 12/11/11, Sam Sherlock <sam.sherl...@gmail.com> wrote:

(the button does not respond) depending on the function of this button you may need to make the swf accept a flash param or two. and possibly using the base param may help. Your using the most vanilla use of swfobject and swfobject is not going to have an effect on the functioning of buttons within the swf, the swf may need to have information passed to it as flashvars as I said - eg is its accessing xml files or other swfs are you able to upload this and post a link? - S On 10 December 2011 23:49, teremoto <dmac_1...@yahoo.com> wrote: just thought i would add that the parameter i am passing is passed to the flash program. i put a text box in the flash program and this does display the parameter passed. just not sure why the button does not respond. i generated the script using dynamic publishing. thanks On Dec 10, 3:12 pm, Sam Sherlock <sam.sherl...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi Teremoto > > please provide a link or some code. > > this will enable others to provide suggestions > > Have you tried generating the code using the generator > this is recommended to all > > http://code.google.com/p/swfobject/wiki/generator > > - S > > On 10 December 2011 21:33, teremoto <dmac_1...@yahoo.com> wrote: > > > > > > > > > i am a newbie. > > i have been banging my head against the wall trying to get flash to > > work in html page and i finally found > > and installed swfobject 2. i am using adobe creative suite cs3. > > > my flash buttons do not respond when i click on them. > > if i just run the .swf file the buttons work as designed. > > if i run the html file created by swobject2, the buttons do not > > respond. > > > i have been searching the web forums for help but cannot find what i > > am missing. can anyone > > point me in the right direction to resolve this? > > thanks > > teremoto > > > -- > > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > > "SWFObject" group. > > To post to this group, send email to swfobject@googlegroups.com. > > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > > swfobject+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > > For more options, visit this group at > >http://groups.google.com/group/swfobject?hl=en. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "SWFObject" group.
