Flash hack question

[billscheltema]

Hi all,
I started with the blank_sidebox which works great, and I simply took the code for flash from the flash hacks sidebox and manipulated it into the blank_sidebox code.
All works fine, but I can't get the code to work for a false loop, the code I use does not work.
I am using 1.3.8a upgraded from 1.3.7.

I would prefer to use an flv which would give me a play arrow.
Any suggetsions?

$content .= '<script type="text/javascript">';
$content .= 'swfobject.embedSWF("video/easyhome.swf","myContent", "false", "142", "100","8.0.0");';
$content .= '</script>';
$content .= '<div id="myContent"><p>Alternative content</p></div></div></div>';

Hi again,

If I use this code do I simply add $content .= ' to each line of code to get it to work?

<p id='preview'>The player will show in this paragraph</p>

<script type='text/javascript' src='swfobject.js'></script>
<script type='text/javascript'>
var s1 = new SWFObject('player.swf','player','140','100','9');
s1.addParam('allowfullscreen','true');
s1.addParam('allowscriptaccess','always');
s1.addParam('flashvars','file=video/easyhome.flv');
s1.write('preview');
</script>

SwfObject should be loaded from the template javascript folder. The code shown on JW web site looks like version 1.5, I couldn't download their player to see.

The players work the same, so using swfobject 2 or 2.1, just code the player like this..

$content .= 'swfobject.embedSWF("player.swf?file=video/easyhome.flv&autoStart=false","myContent", "142", "100","8.0.0");';

I would prefer to use an flv which would give me a play arrow.

The flv wont work without the swf! and that the swf has the skin, arrows and buttons.
