Problems embedding Flash slideshow from external site

I currently have a photography website with SmugMug where I host most pictures that I want to share online; they have an option that lets you create a Slideshow and allows you to copy the HTML embed code. So I stuck that into the page HTML, but every time I try previewing it on the web, nothing shows up. When I use the Validate function, it says the tag "embed" is not used in HTML 4.0, but I don't know if that's the problem or not. Here's the code provided:
Any clues as to why it won't work?

Why can't I get my code to show up? I'm using the "Insert Raw HTML" icon and get the box, into which I paste it. Guess I need to look up that FAQ.
Here it is just plain:
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="400" height="400" id="ssidx">

</embed>
</object>
Like I mentioned in the first post, Dreamweaver's validation tool said that the "embed" tag is not valid in HTML 4.0. The page is written in DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional.

Flash Download from Adobe site says it's not most current and will not continue the install.

I tried to update my flash on 9/20 and my flash seems to have gotten corrupted. Since that update, its not working properly and some sites report it's out of date or doesn't seem to be installed. Tried downloading Flash from your download area today but when the installer runs, it states The version is not the most current. Please download from the player download area. However, I did get my install directly from your website's downloads area. I uninstalled my "corrupted" version thinking it might be causing the issue but I still get the same error with the flash download from your site and now I have no Flash at all.
Please help.

Download and save the uninstaller Save it to your downloads folder - DO NOT run it yet.
Download the Adobe Flash Player installer directly by right clicking one (or both) of the following links and selecting "Save Target as"(IE) or "Save Link as"(other browsers).
Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
Save the installer(s) to your downloads folder - DO NOT run it(them) yet.
Reboot your system.
BEFORE you run anything else, locate and run the uninstaller.
When it finishes, run the installer(s) to put Flash Player on your system again.
If you use IE see also:Enabling Flash Player in Internet Explorer and: ActiveX Filtering in Internet Explorer

Embedded flash slideshow link does not open

Hi, I have a problem that my slideshow works great when not
embedded, I can click the pictures and the link opens in the same
window just like I want. However, when I embed the slideshow the
links do not work. I attach my embed code. Thanks for your help.
Best Regards Eva

yes. the flash generated html file contains all the code you
need to embed flash. you could use alternative methods (swfobject
is the best known) but if you're going to use the code from the
flash html file, you need to use all of it. you've displayed only
part of the embedding code.

A problem with loading xml from external URl in flex

So I have a server running (localhost) and I wrote an application to request information from another website and return data (xml). The application worked fine when I was using the flash builder and just testing it on my machine (not using the localhost), when I started using the server with the same exact code, it requested the crossdomain.xml file to assure that I can request information from that site, so I added the file and the file is right, the script gets it (according to firebug), however, it is not getting the xml information it should get, it just gets stuck with (waiting information from blah.com) at the bottom.
Is there a way to solve the problem?
(I turned my firewall off and it didn't work either)

Yeah I did test the URL and everything is going fine, the information is not returned to the flex application that's all.
I am testing with FireBug and it is telling me that the request is in fact sent to the site but I don't think anything (either than the crossdomain function) is returned.
Thanks for the help, I am really not sure what is going on.

Security with HTML from External Site

I am building an application that pulls HTML content from an external site (RSS feed) and placing that content into my Flex application. The content of this HTML is controlled by another developer at another company.
After pulling back the HTML I am setting it as the htmlText attribute for an <mx:Text> box.
Is this safe? Since I don't control the source HTML content I'm concerned about the content having cross-site scripting attacks in it. Links or things that execute arbitrary javascript onclick. Is there any way to ensure that the HTML coming back can't be used to execute any JavaScript or ActionScript?
Thanks,
..Jordan

I have come up with a two-part solution which I think solves my problem.
1) Flex automatically removed all intrinsic elements from the HTML:
 <mx:String id="inputString">
 <![CDATA[
 <a href="#" onclick="alert('hi');">Onclick alert</a> 
 <script>alert("Your text in the alert function.");</script>
 ]]>
 </mx:String>
 <mx:Text id="inputText" height="100%" width="100%" htmlText="{inputString}">
The value of inputText.htmlText is the following (notice there is on “onclick” event as Flex automatically cleans out intrinsic events:
<TEXTFORMAT LEADING="2"></TEXTFORMAT><TEXTFORMAT LEADING="2"> <A HREF="#" TARGET="">Onclick alert</A></TEXTFORMAT><TEXTFORMAT LEADING="2"></TEXTFORMAT><TEXTFORMAT LEADING="2"> alert("Your text in the alert function.");</TEXTFORMAT><TEXTFORMAT LEADING="2"> </TEXTFORMAT>
2) So all I need to do is remove the "bad" links which is done like so:
public function makeSafeContent(content:String):String {
var safeContentStr:String = content;
var myPattern:RegExp = /javascript/gi;
safeContentStr = safeContentStr.replace(myPattern,"javascript");
myPattern = /asfunction/gi;
safeContentStr = safeContentStr.replace(myPattern,"asfunction");
myPattern = /event/gi;
safeContentStr = safeContentStr.replace(myPattern,"event");
myPattern = /vbscript/gi;
safeContentStr = safeContentStr.replace(myPattern,"vbscript");
return(safeContentStr);

JAAS requiring re-authentication when returning from external site.

Our Struts web application uses another application for some of its functionality. When the authenticated user clicks on the link, a cookie is set with some user info and the user is redirected to the external site. The user interacts with the external site and then the site redirects the user back to our site (to a previously unvisited, secure action). Unfortunately, the user is being prompted to authenticate again, even though they have already done so. The strange part is that this behaviour only exists the first time a new browser is opened (both IE and Mozilla). Subsequent visits to the site (after properly logging out, and logging back in) do not cause this problem. The other strange part is that when the user returns to the site and is prompted to authenticate, the login module that we are using logs a message that it is checking the user info against the allowed roles, and the user does, in fact, already exist.

Nevermind. This was a stupid mistake on my part. I was accessing the site from localhost but the external site was returning to the actual URL. My bad.

Passing values to APEX items from external site

All,
Is it possible to pass values to APEX page items from an external web site?
For example, I have an external web site where users type in a username and password into fields. When they click the 'log-in' button in the external site, I would like to have those values passed to the APEX log-in page. If possible, I would like to have the APEX log-in occur 'invisibly' and the user taken directly to the home page of the app. If that's not possible, it would be nice to simply have the 'user name' and 'password' fields filled in on the APEX side.
I'm using APEX 3.0.
Thanks in advance for any help!
Alex

Hello Alex,
>> Is it possible to pass values to APEX page items from an external web site?
The general answer is yes. You can use the f?p syntax to set the value of any APEX item - http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B32472_01/doc/appdev.300/b32471/concept.htm#sthref185 .
In your specific example, the main question should be is it wise? The mere fact that you are using a login process suggests you have something to protect in your application. The f?p syntax uses a plain text for the items’ value, which means that the user name and password will be completely exposed.

Running into Problems with Flash Player with some sites and not others

Hi All,
I've run into problems with Flash Player 10,0,45,2. In IE 8, FF 3.6.3 and Google Chrome (which I downloaded as a last ditch measure), some websites (such as youtube) work fine. Other sites such as wimp.com I get an empty box. I've reinstalled flash, but haven't seen much else in these forums to try to figure out what the problem is.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Problem Integrating Flash Slideshow

Hi there, I just found a Flash slideshow that I liked and
tried to create a template page with it. Everything works fine;
however, the Flash slideshow is only incorporated in the page after
a line break. I see the tag that causes the show not to
be inserted flush after my main navigation menu; however, all my
attempts to remove it cause the show to display.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a million.

Embedding Flash swf in Google Site displays NaN output but works in Debug mode

Hello,
I am loading a text file with three variables into a flash file (CS5). The flash file then calculates and prints the three values based on some calculations. I am storing the text file as an attachment on the google page in which I am embedding the swf file. What's weird is that the flash file plays correctly in debugging mode (i.e., prints the 3 variables correctly), but as soon as I upload the swf to the Google site page (as an attachment in the same location as the text file), the flash file outputs NaN. I am stuck as to why the file works in debug mode in Flash, but not when it's uploaded to the google site page. I have tried storing the text file on SharePoint and referencing it from there, but I get the same results when viewing the swf on the Google site page.
Is it because the google site page is using SSL?
I am fairly new to flash, so any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Lori
Variables.txt stores this: "current=6950&goal=7175&low=6950"
Here is the code in my flash file:
_global.getPercent = "";
myvars = new LoadVars();
myvars.load("variables.txt");
myvars.onLoad = function(success){
          l = Number(myvars.low);
          c = Number(myvars.current);
          g = Number(myvars.goal);
          getPercent = (c-l)/(g-l);
          if (getPercent > 0) {
                    colorshow._height = (getPercent*colorshow._height);
          } else {
                    colorshow._height = 0;

I have this in front of the trace:
myvars.onLoad = function(success){
When I put in the full URL to the attachment on the Google page (i.e., something similar to "myvars.load("https://sites.google.com/a/..../home/department-sites/sales/variables.txt,");" - instead of just "myvars.load("variables.txt");", it doesn't work. So right now its set to just "variables.txt" and the swf file is in the same root location as the variables.txt file on the Google page. I also have a copy of the variables.txt file in the same local directly in which I am running the flash file for testing. So I think when I run it in debug mode, its referencing the variables.txt file in the local directory, rather than the one stored as an attachment on the Google page.
That's what seems so weird...it runs locally in debug mode...but not when I embed it on the Google page. I can also get it to work if I explicity define the variables in the flash file, rather than rely on the external text file. That's the only time I can get it to work on the Google page.
Thank you for your help!

Problem while selecting data from external tables

Hi All,
I am facing a problem with external tabels. I have created an external table
create table ext_org_table
( id varchar2(10)
, name varchar2(100)
,id_parent varchar2(10)
,name_parent varchar2(100))
organization external
( type oracle_loader
default directory MYDIR
access parameters
records delimited by newline
nologfile
nobadfile
fields terminated by ','
missing field values are null
location ('Orgdata.csv')
reject limit unlimited;
The problem is that when i give select * from ext_org_table , i get following error
ORA-29913: error in executing ODCIEXTTABLEOPEN callout
ORA-29400: data cartridge error
KUP-04040: file Orgdata.csv in MYDIR not found
ORA-06512: at "SYS.ORACLE_LOADER", line 19
ORA-06512: at line 1
Now , i have file Orgdata.csv in the specified directory.
I have created directory in oracle using create directory command.
I have granted read,write permission on the directory to user.
I have given all read,write and execute permissions to folder where my files resides.My file resides in /appl/home/kk
Now i don't understand why it is giving error file in Mydir not found.
Kindly suggest.
Regards
Krish

Hi,
You are obviously doing someting wrong.
May be the direcotry is not present or may be the file is not rpesent in the directory.
I just tried ths
Connected to Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0
Connected as SYS
create directory mydir as 'c:\csv';
grant read,write on directory mydir to scott;From Scott
create table ext_org_table
( id varchar2(10)
, name varchar2(100)
,id_parent varchar2(10)
,name_parent varchar2(100))
organization external
( type oracle_loader
default directory MYDIR
access parameters
records delimited by newline
nologfile
nobadfile
fields terminated by ','
missing field values are null
location ('Orgdata.csv')
reject limit unlimited;
select * from ext_org_table;Ofcourse i made up some dummy data to test and its all OK.
again,
You may want to check if
1) If the directory exists (select * from all_directories where directory_name='MYDIR');
2) If the user has the read/write permissions on that directory
3) If the file orgdata exists in that directory.

Bhushan

Problem in displaying topics from external files

Hello,
I have a set of Help projects created using Robohelp classic
7.00.139 by Blue sky Software Corp. There is a Master project and
sub projects linked together using “.cnt” files.
Now I want to move to HTML Help format (".chm")
Using Adobe Robohelp 6 for word, I convert all the help
projects to .CHM FILES using Batch generate option in Adobe
Robohelp 6 for word. I put all the “.chm” files in a
single folder of my application. But now the links from my MASTER
projects to the sub projects are not working.
When an external topic is selected from the master it points
correctly to the topic title in TOC, corresponding to the external
sub project but the topic from the selected external file is not
displayed there.
What could be the problem? Are there any settings to be made?
Best regards
VIPL

hi,

Embedding Flash Player on Secure Site

Hello,
I am uploading Flash movies for sales presentations to our
secure intranet server, which is accessed from laptops that all
have Flash Player installed.
The IE security alert that pops up when movies are launched
breaks the flow of the presentation ("This page contains secure and
non-secure items"...). Is it possible to output my flash movie
without the non-secure links to Macromedia's site? I have manually
removed the links for current projects, but this is a pain.
Better yet, is is possible (and legal!) to just embed the
player securely from our own intranet?
Thanks,
Dan

I cannot comment on the legality of publishing the player on
your own site... What I have done is to replace the "http" with
"https" to all links to the codebase that are produced. The links
still work and it gets rid of the message.

Problems embedding keynote slideshow on my website

I have uploaded a keynote presentation from my iPad to iWork.com. I would like to embed this presentation on my website but there is no "show embed code" option under the "show public link" option when I am signed into iWork.com. I do not see anyone posting about this so I'm not sure why I don't have this option or how I can get the code to embed my keynote presentaiton as a slideshow. Please help!

ok i understand
I've just check what you explained in your email and you are right :
When you share your document thanks to the option "publish on the web", you first have the possibility to copy an embed code (i pasted it on Textedit and it works perfectly). But once it's done, unfortunately, it seems not possible to retreive the embeded code on the website.
I am sorry not to give you a better answer, but for me either it is not possible to find the embeded code in the iwork.com website
the only one solution i found is to upload again the keynote file.
Best regards,
Leguall
