Examples of using lightbox to display Flash content (swf)?

I want to use lightbox to display Flash video player. I would like to have lightbox load a page that has SWFObject code for displaying the Flash content. This page with the Flash content and SWFObject will have certain paramters and vars. Does anyone know of an example or tutoral for doing this?
Thanks!

instead of using Lightbox, try using Fancy-Box:
http://fancybox.net/
Look for the example called "Swf" under "Various Examples" It's a text hyperlink demonstrating Flash with ActionScript 3.0

Lightbox to display Flash content (swf) examples?

I don't believe the Lightbox script was designed to handle this without modification to the source code. I think what you would be better looking into is a modal window and then you could use Jquery event handlers and load effects to that.
For an easy to set up modal window I would recommend looking at the JQuery UI Project ( http://jqueryui.com/ ). The dialog ( http://jqueryui.com/demos/dialog/ ) should be what you are looking for. See the "Animated Dialog" link on the right of the demo to see how to load effects on the event handlers. The source code will show you what you need to know.

39L4333DG - cannot display Flash content in web browser

Hello,
When I try to access Flash sites the web browser shows 'Missing plugin' in the frame where flash player should display the content.
Am I omitting anything?
I have installed the latest firmware: 7.1.90.34.01.1.
For a 2013 TV it is annoying not to have a full featured web browser on a SMART TV.
Is there any chance to have a full web browser in the next firmware version?
Thank you.

When I had similar problems the response from Toshiba was that the browser is only intended for limited use. My problem was not being able to access any site which required a password. Not rocket science you would think!

How to display Flash Content uploaded in Admin Console

HI All ,
I have created a flash content in the admin console.Flash file is uploaded to a binary property.
I have to display that flash file in the JSP.
Normally , a Image can be displayed in the JSP , with following tag,
*<img src="<%=request.getContextPath() + "/ShowProperty" + node.getPath()+"//Brochure-Image"%>" />*
But how to display a flash content uploaded in the admin console.
Pls suggest me in this regard,
Srinivas

There is no wlp tag to display flash image. You have to use HTML object tag for this. Just google it and you will find lot of answer how to include flash file in your JSP.
Either you pass a path to your repository or save the file somewhere on you local drive and use that path.

Get IE8 to display Flash content

Does anyone have a bullet proof method for embedding Flash content so that it shows in all flavors of IE8 WITHOUT having the user change settings on their machine?
I'm working on a project that was tested by a couple of people who could see the content then click on a link in the Flash content which loads a URL in the same page THEN when they hit the back button in their IE browser the Flash content doesn't show.
I was using SWFObject to embed but have switched to a simple method shown below:
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" id="cdbwidget" data="CDBabyStore_widget.swf?customerID=xhWv7J5EP8fi22rByrPcVg%3d%3d&byType=ByCustomer&si teURL=document.referrer&colorScheme=0x000000,0xE0E0E0,0xCCCCCC,0x666666,0x333333,0xFFFFFF, 0xFFFFFF" width="550" height="575">
<param name="movie" value="CDBabyStore_widget.swf?customerID=xhWv7J5EP8fi22rByrPcVg%3d%3d&byType=ByCustomer&s iteURL=document.referrer&colorScheme=0x000000,0xE0E0E0,0xCCCCCC,0x666666,0x333333,0xFFFFFF ,0xFFFFFF" />
</object>
I've tested this on Windows 7 running IE7, 8 & 9 and it works flawlessly but two people are having the issue I noted above.
Thanks for any tips.

In a nutshell, if you've tested it and it works, it works. The two people who are having problems (there will probably be thousands more worldwide) have a setting in their Internet Options or in Windows that is causing the problem.
You might want to run this through the Flash and Dreamweaver forums as well to get some more insight from people who are more skilled at Flash integration and older browser compatibility.

Using Keynote for Interactive Flash Content

Hi,
I'm creating an interactive E-Book using Keynote,
In Keynote '08 I could export to Flash, and that would not be able to export transitions but apart from that, worked OK,
But in Keynote '09 I can only export to Quicktime, which works fine using hyperlinks only ( therefore it's interactive ) so everything is OK. Only this quicktime file is 27mb big, and I want to convert it to flash, but using Quicktime Pro to convert it always takes away the interactivity of the E-Book, it becomes a self-playing movie file,
I want to know if there is any way to convert an Interactive Hyperlinks-Only Quicktime file, to an Interactive Flash file??
And if I create this quicktime file in Mac will it work the same in Quicktime for Windows?
(I am creating the E-Book for a windows user)
Any help or advice would be deeply appreciated,
thanks
Harry

Okay so how much of that $25 is Adobe making;
50% margin would suggest $16.67 per unit.
$699 is suggested retail price for the latest incarnation of Flash CS4.
What the "OEM Software" merchants are offering is a pre-Adobe version of Flash 8 Pro, in German, for Mac, that obviously very few people would want. If they had accepted PayPal, I would have bought it, but I was not willing to reveal to them my credit card.
So: +what alternatives do we have?+
There's a Mom & Pop outfit called "Vertical Moon" that offers a number of modest tools with free demos, notably [SWF'n Slide|http://www.verticalmoon.com/index.htm]. I do appreciate frugality when it comes to solving technical problems (as opposed to bloatware, like Microsoft and Adobe's). The latest news from the "moon" people is dated September 2008, so maybe their future is dim, but I've just looked at their documentation and find it well conceived and well crafted. I'll give them a try.
In the future, perhaps we shall see some Open Source project succeed, like [JSwiff|http://www.jswiff.com/index.jsp].
Then again, it is a fact that *Keynote 08* (version 3.0.2, in particular) does almost everything I ask it to, including export to ".swf", except it fails to export when I embed certain things like midi or QuickTime. It's a lot friendlier, I must say, than any PowerPoint editor I've encountered. Don't you love those yellow alignment guides that show up spontaneously when you move things around?
That thought opens the temptation to edit to heart's content with KN'08, export,
and then edit the swf xml file with a text editor,
and the auxiliary file structure with Mac OS Finder!

Director mx 2004 won't display Flash 8 swf files & other Flash media

I have created a Flash 8 Project which has audio, video (which are converted to swf files fom flvs), flashpaper. This application is driven by XML.
However this application works fine outside director, but when I import the main swf file into director mx 2004 and RUN it, director won't display the videos (but I can hear the audio from the videos), Director wont show graphic images(eg menu icon movie buttons, and flash buttons). Also I can launch external files (eg text file) from flash, but again it won't work via director.
ANY SUGGESTIONS PLEASE

ANY SUGGESTIONS PLEASE
I suggest there's no need to shout.
Try linking the Director cast member to the external swf file instead of fully importing it. You also should have the 10.1.1 update in place - this is particularly important.

Server won't display flash html/swf files

I have a set of html/swf files that are "set" exacly like a dozen other nearly identical files that are served correctly by a hosting site but this set only displays a Flash Player upgrade icon on Foxpro and a blank page on IE. My client Flash Player is the latest and works fine for the other dozen nearly identical files. Of course the initiating fla file displays correctly with CS5.5 Flash itself.
I've run out of ideas about what causes the problem and how to fix it. Any ideas please?

Thanks for your response. I've resolved the problem. This one troublesome file was not "set exactly". The Publish Settings "output file" field designated a non-existent folder that was a remnant of a deleted folder. Flash did it's best to sensibly respond.

Finder and QTimeplayer won't display flash 8 content

Hi,
Finder's inbuild preview as well as the quicktime player won't display flash 8 swf's
It can only show earlier flash movies.
I have flash 8.022 pro

I can however see flash 8 content in all of my browsers.
Is there a component or plugin I should copy to

Re: [iPlanet-JATO] Re: using begin childName Display method

Steve,
It sounds like you have your display fields in a container view, and
that container view is inside of a view bean. I haven't tested whether
the fireChildDisplayEvents has a "deep" effect on its container view
children. Meaning that you may have to set fireChildDisplayEvents="true"
for the <jato:containerView> tag instead. If all else fails and you need
to just get it working, you can set the fireDisplayEvents="true" for
each display field tag separately.

To answer your question - it should work as you described. Some of the JatoSample make use of the defaultCommandChild. Can you try

Re: [iPlanet-JATO] using begin childName Display method

Oops. Sorry about that, Craig. I didn't realize I might leave that impression.
I'm sure the tiled
views work since you have so many examples of these and it's a relatively
simple concept, isn't it?
Not to mention a necessary one. I didn't have time to debug my code and find
out what I was doing
wrong where the tiled views are concerned. I decide to just try to implement
tiled views later and
just stick with one of everything for now and get that working.
Yes, I have reviewed your comments and am taking them into consideration. I am
able to save and
retrieve values with my model at this point.
Thanks.

Belinda,
He may also be binding the models, howerver, he needs to change the way
the value appears before it is displayed which is why you would use the
display events.
Your null value issue is a completely different issue and has nothing to
do with it being a tiled view. I don't want anyone getting the idea
that the tiledView binding is broken. It does work. You issue should
have something to do with the inconsistent way in which you are getting
your model. At least from what I could tell in your source code that you
sent me.
Have you reviewed my comments I sent to you in your source code?

Adobe Reader cannot play embedded Flash content

I don't know why, the Flash format was originally created by Macromedia, and then Adobe acquired the company, but the Adobe Reader cannot display Flash content.
My PDF file is here:
http://genifer.googlecode.com/files/agi-book.pdf
Scroll to page 37.
The original SWF file is here:
http://genifer.googlecode.com/files/unified-AND-OR.swf
which *can* be played on my Chrome browser.
But when I embedded the SWF file in the PDF, the result is unplayable.
A clue is: Adobe Reader asked me to download QuickTime to display media contents. So I downloaded QuickTime. But QuickTime nowadays has removed Flash support. Why did Adobe Reader ask me to download QuickTime to display Flash, when Adobe owns the Flash format?
I have also tried selecting other media players in the Reader's option box (eg, Windows Media, Windows built-in, Adobe Flash, etc) but none of them works.
I have also tried using Adobe Acrobat Professional 9. Same result.
It seems to be a problem with Adobe Reader. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Adobe Reader most certainly CAN play embedded Flash content, but only if you embed it properly.
You're seeing a Quicktime warning because you're embedding the SWF as "legacy media" content - this is no longer supported for authoring and is disabled by default for playback.You should use Rich Media Annotations instead (embedding using the multimedia/flash tool in Acrobat 9 or Acrobat X).

Cursor in Safari disappears when watching Flash Content

This problem persists since the last 3 versions of Safari - problem is: When you come over a site which displays Flash Content (for example www.flickr.com slideshows) after a short time the mouse cursor completely disappears - hovering over the menus seems to indicate, that you can click but since the cursor is not showing it's hard to identify, where you are. Workaround is to switch to another application, there the cursor is visible and you can quit the browser (Safari, Chrome ...)
The latest Flash Plugin is installed, i tried this on different browsers (Firefox, Chrome ...) - it's always the same problem.
I don't want to deinstall my Flash Plugin because there are a lot of sites which are not viewable without the Flash-Plugin - i've been reading lots of discussions here in the Apple Support Communities but there is no fix - the first entries were made about 2 years ago.
Maybe someone has found a fix now.
Thanx & Greetings from Austria

Hello Z:
There is a new flash release (10. something). If you have not done so, you might try that.
