Cross-browser compatible flash embedding in html5

I am a newbie with flash with less than a year of experience and this is my first post in this forum.
I recntly converted my web site from xhtml1.1 to html5 and when it came to flash I was a bit stumped.
Then the light came on, why not use html5's new and powerful JavaScript engine and I did.
I was able to use JavaScript to embed the flash object which tested with IE8, FF3.6.4, Safari 5.0, Opera 10.53, SeaMonkey 2.4, Chrome 5,6 and maxthin 2.5 & 3.0.
I wanted also to keep away from making a http call for swfobject and use the html5 enviornment.
Therefore, I used the following and placing the JavaScript function within the <head>..</head> tags just above the <body> tag.
My web site is multi-lingual currently with/for English and German with French and Spanish to follow; the html5 used is simple and it W3C validates it as html5.
Using the english version this was placed within the head tags
<script>
       //<![CDATA[
     document.write('<object width="100%" height="100%"  type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="english.swf"  >');
     document.write('<param name="classid"  value="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" />');
     document.write('<param name="pluginurl" value="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,24"  />');
     document.write('<param name="movie" value="english.swf"  />');
     document.write('<param name="quality" value="best" />');
     document.write('<param name="menu" value="false" />');
     document.write('<param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"  />');
     document.write('<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain"  />');
     document.write('<param name="bgcolor" value="#000000"  />');
     document.write('<param name="scale" value="noscale"  />');
     document.write('<param name="wmode" value="window" />');
     document.write('</object>');
        //]]>
</script>
I have also noticed that an iPAD visited my wbe site indicatingn to me that it works on an iPAD and by virtue that this method of flash embedding works with the above borwser types; it is I think a cross-browser method.
To see this in action feel free to visit my web site and look at the index.html, english.html or the german.html code to see this implemented; the web site is www.mirana.net
Now my questions is:
1. is this a good method and why? or why not?
2. can this be placed mainstream ?
Thank you for reading this and be merciful in responses

Hi
Thanks for replying, I appreciate that.
I do agree that that an initial view may appear as the 'standard flash embed' but in this case it is not by virtue of its location being between the head tags.
There is IMHO considerable difference placing this method between the head tags as compared to placing in/on the body.  Try it out yourself in html5.
1. it valdiates
2. reduces http calls
3. appears to load faster but that can be purely dependent upon the visitor's internet connectivity
4. fundamentally works with all browser that I tested it with
Traditionally with flash embedding there was an issue with/in validation of the html document and this goes back to 2002 when the 'Satay' method corrected this. As I now understand it with the release of CS5 html that is published uses the object method of embedding.
The fact that an iPAD was on my web site and viewing pages certainly was a surprise, I only wish I had an iPAD.

    Hi Guys,
    I need urgent help...'
    i am using netui:checkboxgroup for selecting the list of values from jsp and

    Here this flow working fine in ie6,ie7 and ff
    but ie8 and Opera browser once the check box selected and click next for that particular value is true for all times.

  • Anyone following the Flash vs. HTML5 debate

    Hey everyone. I have been developing systems in Flex3/4 and AS3 for two and a half fantastic years now.
    Flex and AS3 have been an absolute pleasure to work with. True OOP support, creating subcomponents a piece of cake, great development tools, 
    cross browser compatibility, seamless integration with J2EE server components, great support forums, fantastic eco system.  Making things visually pleasing and interesting, while being very usable, reusable (from an OO perspective)  in any other language is just not possible at this time. I could go on and on. 
    Lately I have read debates about HTML5 vs. The Flash Runtime.
    My response. You're kidding me right. There is nothing to compare here. HTML5 and JavaScript. I would much rather swallow my tongue than code anything in either HTML, or JS. I had the unfortunate experience with a project coding in HTML and JS a few years ago. My stomach hasn't been right since. In all fairness to the HTML/JS hackers out there. Sure if you're developing web pages or a web site. Then sure, the HTML,CSS,JS thing will do you good. 
    However. Serious web applications that present scientific data, and retrieve that data from a DB Server, like for instance, the stuff I'm working on. Need a web UI that can present that information in a creative and imaginative way.
    As well as the ability to make the code modular, OO, and use best practice patterns like IOC,DI, as well as, integrate, easily with a backend J2EE service.  The natural choice here is Flex/AS.
    So what if the flash runtime environment burns a lot of compute cycles on your desktop.  Are you kidding. Irrelevant. Steve Jobs is the last guy that should be criticizing that aspect of Flash. Ever heard of a product
    called NeXT. This was one of Steve Jobs visions that tanked. Why. This was a clear case of the software being too advanced for the hardware, at the time to handle. So. You critics that blast flash in that context. Just shut up. The hardware will catch up. It always does. Ever heard of Moore's Law. 
    Anyways. I'm tired of hearing the bashing of the Flash runtime. Sometimes I think developers follow the masses, just for, well, being one of the herd. 

    Having fought this battle at work for way too long, I can tell you that it mostly boils down to ideology.
    Our product was originally a in house Java library that generated AJAX components. After it became unmaintainable (only 5 guys trying to create a product and maintain the library) I started looking into Flex. Flex did everything we were trying to do with AJAX and then some but there were those who fought me tooth and nail to go the HTML5 route.
    They threw everything and the kitchen sink at me trying to dissuade management from going the Flex route. They would dig up ancient problems with the flash player, you name it. Steve Job's statements about Flash didn't help either. What won them over (or finally made them shut up) was the fact that there were no good HTML5 dev environments like there is for Flex.
    What seemed to drive them was partially not percieving Flex as being open source and partially actionscript was new and unknown to them. Like the saying goes: If you have a hammer everything looks like a nail.
    HTML5, Javascript and AJAX have their place. But if you want to write actual applicaitons Flex is the way to go.

  • Modify Flash CC's HTML5 template?

    I am trying to include some other Javascript libraries into code created when converting some old Flash animations to HTML5/JS.
    It's simple enough to just open the Flash CC-published .html file and add the necessary <script> statements to the head, but of course, every time you re-publish the Flash CC HTML and JS, it overwrites the added lines when the HTML file is updated.
    Unchecking the "Publish HTML" box doesn't help all that much.
    Is it possible to modify the "template" that Flash CC uses to output HTML? This would save a lot of tedious cutting and pasting when testing animations.
    TIA!

    Thanks, Nipun. My basic problem is that I have a fair amount of Flash work that needs to be "converted" so that it will function on iOS devices.
    I have been playing around with Flash CC's abilities to pull in existing FLA files, and modify them for HTML5 output. I have found MANY problems with this "workflow," thus far. I am not even convinced that the "conversion" is even useful, given the things that need to be addressed, even down to stuff like confronting a different scheme for frame numbering on the Timeline, etc.
    The Edge Animate software is hopelessly crippled by its failure to (automatically) address cross-browser flavors of HTML5 coding, and by its reliance on having to hand-code almost anything that isn't related to the Timeline advancing - i.e., stuff that "jumps around" automatically, as opposed to someting approaching the REAL functionality that we had in Actionscript.
    So, I'm still really waiting to see what transpires before I devote any more of my time to learning software that doesn't seem like it's truly addressing the issue of seamless, cross-platform HTML5 animation.

  • JSF Cross Browser Compatibility

    In reading about JSF I find no promise for cross browser compatibility. Am I to assume that this has been missed because
    i. JSF is a specification and not an implementation and I should be looking for the implementation to make that promise.
    ii. it's basically to hard to promise this.
    iii. I didn't look hard enough.
    I am guessing it's a (i) with the likely hood of (ii) to follow. But I would be interested on any feed back that anyone cares to add. For example, a implementation that is trying to promise this.

    In my opinion, the JSF specification (or better, any specification) can only refer to other specifications, but never to a concrete software product. Consider a sentence like:
            JSF 1.0 is compatible with IEWhat could that mean? Some possibilities:
    (1)     As it happened, until now, we did not stumble over a
            faces application that broke when run on our Faces
            reference implementation (version 1_1_01) in a
            WSAD 5.0 container in combination with IE 5.5
            with patch 12345 on Windows NT4 SP6 patch 98765.
            (To breake means to produce a result not legitimized
            by the spec, or to produce no result when one is
            expected, at least not in a reasonable time.
            Breakdowns caused by power failure or other
            reasons outside the scope of the spec to be ignored)Well, not worth any further comment.
    (2)     Implementations of JSF 1.0 Spec will not brake
            on any faces application when run in a
            WSAD 5.0 container in combination with IE 5.5
            with patch 12345 on Windows NT4 SP6 patch 98765
            (To breake means ...)That is ok... if you have just this combination of components and will never change. Keep in mind that (2) does not promise
    anything if you use IE5.5 patch 12345a (and the saying is, there have been several patches to IE ;-)
    (3)     Implementations of JSF 1.0 Spec will not brake
            on any faces application when run in any container
            in combination with IE 5.5
            with patch 12345 on Windows NT4 SP6 patch 98765.
            (To breake means ...)Same as (2)
    (4)     Implementations of JSF 1.0 Spec will not brake
            on any faces application when run in any container
            in combination with IE 6.0 on any platform with
            any patches.
            (To breake means ...)Maybe what is intended, just impossible to promise. First, such a bold statement about some software can not be proven.
    Second, even if you have gained good confidence by thorow testing, who knows which future changes Microsoft will apply to IE 6.0 (via patches, which offen not only correct bugs, but also introduce new and maybe incompatible features)
    (5)     Implementations of JSF 1.0 Spec will not brake
            on any faces application when run in any JSP 1.2
            or higher container in combination any broser
            which supports:
               - HTML 4.0.1
               - JavaScript 1.3
               - CSS 1.0
            where IE 6.0 is a browser which supports these
            three standards on any platform with any patches.
            (To breake means ...)It's getting better. But why, for heavens sake, should a JSF specification make a statement about the compliance of IE with HTML 4.0.1, JavaScript 1.3 and CSS 1.0? I think it would be the job of Microsoft to declare the compatibilty of their products with standards (if any applies, whatsoever).
    Therefore, lets get rid of these and we have:
    (6)     Implementations of JSF 1.0 Spec will not brake
            on any faces application when run in any JSP 1.2
            or higher container in combination any broser
            which supports:
               - HTML 4.0.1
               - JavaScript 1.3
               - CSS 1.0
            (To breake means ...)Nearly finished, just a little bit wordy. It is (nearly) obvious what 'to breake' means. And that it is common wisdom that software breakes, not some specification (Or, as Bertrand Meyer put it, Bubbles don crash. Specifications may be contradictory or fail to describe an algorithm, but never crash). Common wisdom removed gives:
    (7)     Implementations of JSF 1.0 need a JSP 1.2 container
            and a browser capable of HTML 4.0.1, JavaScript 1.3
            and CSS 1.0That's it. Specs exist for two reasons. First, to be discussed and thought about. Second, to be implemented. (To the supporters of agile methods: of course you can reverse the sequence ;-). Therefore, specs should be as short and concise as possible, omitting any useless blabla. If the specs are sufficently precise and of moderate complexity, we can even try to prove the compatibility of the specifications. 'COMPATIBLE WITH IE' is advertisement, not tech talk.
    Conclusion: Mixing up specifications and implementaions is generally a bad thing. Exception: All sentences where a specification and a implementation are mentioned together should have the form:
             Implementation X does [not] conform to specification Y
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------I have a follow up question, just inspired by yours. It does not especially concern JSF, but web pages in general.
    Some time ago, I stumbled over quite a few web sites with big red eye catchers:
    OPTIMIZED FOR INTERNET EXPLORER!!!
    And really, they did not look good on Netscape Navigator. Now, my question is, what do you think when you hit such a page? My first thoughts (it's long ago) have been:
        - Oh, nice designers. They really care for the majority of people,
          my neighbor uses an IE.
        - They just skiped the work for other browsers and sell this as an
          optimization. And I didn't get it. Very clever.
        - Poor Guys. Probably they had no other browser at hand.
        - Obviously they had publish this tremendously important information
          under pressure, no time to also optimize for others browsers.Wolfgang Oellinger

  • Cross browser testing : Modifier Keys playback actions not working in chrome and Firefox

    Hi,
    In my work flow I have to select multiple items in list.So I have recorded 'Ctrl+Click' action to select list items.In Chrome and Firefox it is not selecting multiple Items.
    Even Ctrl+A,Ctrl+C,Ctrl+V also not working in chrome and Firefox.Complete modifier keys support is not observed in chrome and Firefox.Let me Know how to automate modifier keys actions in cross browser?
    Regards,
    Nagasree.

    Hi Nagasree,
    Welcome to MSDN forums.
    First,please make sure the Chrome and Firefox is supported by cross browser testing.
    Latest version of Chrome and Firefox supported by cross browser testing are Chrome version 38.0.2125.111 and
    Firefox 33.
    I doubt whether Chrome and Firefox in cross browser testing don’t support automating modifier keys or there is anything wrong on it if you are using supported browser. Since this issue is related to the Extensions tool
    Selenium components for Coded UI Cross Browser Testing, if possible, I suggest you post this
    issue here, click “Q AND A”, and then you could post this issue there, you would get dedicated
    support there.
    Thanks for your understanding.

  • A few cross browser questions

    Hello, I have been searching for results for sometime and
    decided to come here to ask my question.
    Now, I know these questions have been asked alot of times but
    I have no good results.
    My question:
    Why does every website I make look Good in IE and bad in
    firefox?
    or vise versa. I can make it look good in firefox but looks
    bad in I.E.
    I mean I layout the design perfectly in Dreamweaver 8 and it
    looks sweet in I.E. preview in Firefox and it makes me not want to
    make layouts any more..
    What do I do? And how do I fix this?
    Currently I am making a "Liquid" Layout, using "%" for my Div
    and Tables, and they seem to be ok in I.E. like I stated, but still
    when I view in firefox, everything is to the left or off centerd or
    just plain nasty.
    Anytips? I got the whole Screen Resolution trick down, now I
    just need professinal tips on cross browser design.
    I don't have my site hosted yet so I cannot give you a
    preview. I am sure you know what I am talking about as well.
    I searched google and many forums (including this one) and
    came up empty handed.
    What am I doing wrong? Do I just manage the site as it is
    even though that the website is 5px off to the right/left in
    firefox and looks great in internet explorer.
    I want to provide a clean site for both browsers with out
    having them redirecting.
    Which I can redirect one "If I.E." to a page, and redirect FF
    to a diffrent. But that's a hassel in my view.
    Seriously, what do I do?
    Thank you for your time and any response.

    As Jo mentioned, it would be too hard to give you advice on
    your page
    without seeing the code (or even better a live version).
    The better approach is to design for Firefox and then fix the
    errors that
    are produced in IE.
    Are you using a full doc type? That is important, because if
    not, then IE
    will go into quirks mode, thinking it is rendering your page
    correctly, but
    FFox will show it out of wack.....
    are you using divs of 'layers' (absolutely positioned divs)?
    As you can see there are many things that may be wrong with
    your site- so
    without seeing it, it's too difficult to offer specific
    advice.
    Have you been through the css tutorials at the Adobe site
    (link in my
    sig)..... they are very helpful - starting with beginner
    tutorials and
    moving on from there.

  • Need help with Rollover Image cross browser problem

    Hello,
    I am having a cross browser problem with my websites rollover nav links.  The trouble is, while they work perfectly fine in IE8 and IE9, I’ve also attempted to use them through Opera, and they simply don’t work.  They don’t link nor do they do their rollover effect.  And I was trying to figure out what I have done wrong.  Currently the site is not completed, but the first two pages are, the “news” and “about me” pages are currently (as of right now) working.  The address to the site is below.
    http://maxmetal.xsustudios.com/index.html
    I hope that someone can help me with this, if needs be I can put the code for the CSS and HTML into this part if it will save some time for everyone.  Sorry too about the PNG images, I have to change those over to semi-transparent GIF’s yet so the site does take a while to load…
    Hope someone can help me with this!
    PALADIN

    When I disable CSS in my browser, the rollover buttons work just fine.  This tells me your CSS is messed up and you've layered something over your menus which is making them inaccessible to users.
    I noticed you've applied relative positioning to just about everything on your page.  Why?   Default CSS positioning (unspecified or static) is all you need for 98% of layouts.

  • GREAT cross browser javascript xml libriary

    Hello !
    This cross browser javascript xml libriary, will make work with XML much easier.
    I am working on client side javascript at my job, and had to handle some data in big xml files using advanced xpath and this is not problem when dealing with IE but when it comes to Firefox and Opera it become nightmare to finish this job.
    Then I decided to write module in javascript that can handle xml query using xpath:
    http://www.softxml.com/softxmllib/softxmllib.htm
    It supports all known browsers on windows.
    It's functions named same as Microsoft.XMLDOM
    loadXML,load,selectNodes but supported by all browsers
    If any one of you tired too writing javascript/xml for all browsers, then go and download this module!!!!
    Thanks

    But since the only way (or at least so I think) to pass a
    javascript variable to CF is via a javascript
    document.location.href redirect (and passing the variables via URL
    variables), I have the javascript in the first page redirect and
    send the variables to the coldfusion template that then digests the
    xml and does a database insert.
    You should just do a server-side redirect and avoid
    Javascript altogether. As a rule of thumb, one should use
    Javascript to manipulate data or presentation at the client end.

  • No sound in flash-related videos since I updated my browser and flash.

    I updated my browser and flash. Before this I had no problems whatsoever with sound in flash videos. I was watching them just fine and then I installed the updates, and all of a sudden flash vids play fine, but have no volume. I tried adjusting the mixer volume on my system tray and nothing. I don't want to go uninstalling and reinstalling and losing years of settings because somebody couldn't code flash properly.
    HELP!!!!!!!
    == This happened ==
    Not sure how often
    == Today when I updated Firefox to version 3.6.4 and got the flash update of version 10.1.53.64

    Hello C.
    Hopefully this support article is what you need:
    http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Installing+the+Flash+plugin
    If you are having a problem specifically with Adobe Flash Player, you need to contact Adobe.

  • Why Ctrl+Tab stops working when opening a flash embedded page?

    This a huge pet peeve I have. Everytime I watch a video in youtube.com or megavideo.com, I can't just Ctrl+Tab to change tabs. I'll have to clic in some portion of the page without video to get it to work, but even that, isn't always the case.

  • Odd Flash Embedding Problem

    I am using Flash with SlideShowPro (component) installed, no
    actionscript.
    My XML file and my images are in a sub folder. The Flash is
    not working. I copied the swf into the subfolder the XML is in.
    When I open the root level page which has the flash embedded on it,
    it pulls up the flash SWF, but does not recognize the xml file
    that's in the sub directory. It tries to get an XML file from the
    root level, instead.
    If I run a page from the subdirectory, it works correctly,
    which tells me that the XML file is properly configured when
    sitting in that directory.
    What do I have to do with the embed statements (or anything
    else) to make sure it takes the XML file that is in the same
    subdirectory as the swf file, rather than trying to find an xml
    file on the root level?
    I don't think I can have the swf on the root level, because
    it asks for an XML file and there are many different subfolders for
    which this has to work. If there is a way, I'd be glad to hear of
    it.
    The subfolders are all dynamically created, so I can't
    preconfigure with separate names for the swf or xml files. At time
    of dynamic subfolder creation, I copy in the SWF file and the XML
    file is created into that folder.
    I appreciate your help.

    I'm really desperate for help here.
    My problem lies that I'm trying to use a dynamic situation
    and PHP.
    The PHP creates a folder in images/pictures, copies the swf
    file into it, and creates an XML file in it...so, we'll use the
    example of 10.
    So now we have the houseInfo.php page on the root level with
    the swf on it, and the images, actual swf file, and xml sheet are
    in images/pictures/10
    (remember, it's dynamic. So the number could be 14 or
    24...depending on which houseID is in the database)
    I can't use a php statement in flash, so I can't make the
    flash dynamically grab the correct xml sheet from
    images/pictures/10...
    So I tried using this method:
    http://components.earthscienceagency.com/support/slideshow/examples/dynamic_xml/
    By this method, the SlideShowPro doesn't have an xml file
    path declared in the component, but rather I have this in the
    actionscript:
    mySlideshow.loadXML(playlist);
    and the component is ID'd as mySlideshow
    The embedding on the page uses a php id and it seems to read
    it right...this is what a view source will show:
    <object height="270" width="250" codebase="
    http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,28,0"
    classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000">
    <param value="slide_frame.swf" name="movie"/>
    <param value="playlist=images/pictures/10/slideshow.xml"
    name="FlashVars"/>
    <param value="high" name="quality"/>
    <embed height="270" width="250"
    type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="
    http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash"
    quality="high"
    flashvars="playlist=images/pictures/10/slideshow.xml"
    src="slide_frame.swf"/>
    </object>
    You will notice in the flash the playlist is showing the
    correct path to where the XML sheet would reside.
    But it still doesn't work.
    Please, help?
    Thanks,
    Denise

  • Where can I find a cross-browser bookmarks synchronizer?

    I'm currently using the Xmarks type of add-ons, but Xmarks is planning to shut down within 90 days, and no replacement seems to be available.
    Although Internet Explorer 8 is my preferred browser, add-ons to eliminate duplicate bookmarks appear to be available only for Firefox.
    Also, I can report newsgroups spam fast enough on Google Groups that their software often confuses me with a computer program; rotating among the four browsers I have installed seems to help with this.
    I'd like to synchronize the bookmarks collection among all 4 browsers; the Xmarks series of add-ons currently does this with two of them, and tries but fails with a third one; not available for the fourth.

    Xmarks has now been acquired by LastPass. They're now planning to continue bookmarks synchronization (including cross-browser), but substitute the LastPass method of passwords synchronization for the Xmarks method.
