Swfs not displaying in IE, using SWFObject2

Hi,
I have a site I did a couple years ago, and have had to open it up, and now none of the SWFs display in IE. In my template I deleted my old Flash nav and reinserted it (insert/media/swf) and then I got a white box where the navigation should be.
I've tried going to the Google site and got sample code for SWFObject2, I uploaded the swfobject.js and expressinstall.swf to the site's root directory, but I still get a white box in IE. It works fine in Firefox and Chrome.
What am I doing wrong?
I really appreciate your help.
Take a look at this page: http://stagerightorg.com/resources/articles2.aspx
I'm using DW CS4 on a PC.

  • Loaded SWF not displaying

    I've created a 'plugin' SWF file in CS3 using actionscript 3.
    The purpose of this file is to be included as a postroll in the
    open source flash media player JW FLV/Media Player (
    http://www.jeroenwijering.com/?item=JW_Media_Player).
    I have heavily customized the media player libraries to do
    various new things/alter how things worked, and now want to be able
    to include the SWF file within this into a child sprite/movie clip.
    HOWEVER, the problem lies in that the media player is written
    completely in AS2, and therefore I have to use the MovieClipLoader
    class to load in the SWF. Updating the source to AS3 isn't an
    option unfortunatly, and downgrading the AS3 SWF to AS2 isn't an
    option either, mainly due to the fact I've learnt AS3, not AS2, and
    find it frustrating trying to find the AS2 equivalent to the AS3
    methods I know.
    The problem though lies in that MovieClipLoader does not like
    my SWF at all. Initially I was presented with a load of sandbox
    errors from when it was loaded in, which I then resolved so that no
    security errors are produced. However, whenever I load in the clip,
    the target sprite/clip is empty. I have gone through checking that
    no errors occur on load, and it reports that the loaded SWF has
    been initialized, yet I see nothing. Also, the code loading the SWF
    is not at fault as it loads any other SWF (even another AS3 SWF
    which just creates a rectangle) no problem.
    Oddly enough, using the MovieClip.loadMovie method works in
    one situation - when you load it into the root of the AS2 file.
    When loading it into an empty movie clip, the same problem of a
    blank clip occurs. The problem is not specific to the media player
    either, as it happened in any AS2 file where I was testing how to
    load in the AS3 SWF.
    If it is of any use, the sandbox errors produced by the AS3
    file when loaded into AS2 swf I had to resolve where to do with
    stage access for getting the stage height and width, and a
    Loader.content error when pulling out the BitmapData. These were
    resolved via setting the allowed domains policy and eliminating any
    reference to stage.stageHeight/With.
    Does anyone have any ideas on how to solve this? The only
    possible solution I've been able to think of so far since the AS3
    swf won't display is to play with the LocalConnection class as
    tests showed I can communicate between the AS2 and AS3 files, but
    this would have to be a last resort, and is less than ideal when
    there can be multiple instances of the player running (I would need
    to use unique connection names for each instance so as to prevent
    player A interacting with player B, and also as only one of the
    players can listen on the connection at once).

    I have the component in the top level also,
    I get this error:
    TypeError: Error #2007: Parameter child must be non-null.

    I've checked the definitions for the tree component,
    The LabelButton and List I don't have much control over.
    I'm not sure how to fix this.  The xml is correct and loads easily if it's in the root document.
    The list component doesn't load the labels, It stops on the first one.

  • Firefox Does Not Display Topics When Using "#" in the URL

    I'm currently having a problem with Firefox not opening
    context-sensitive help links using URLs, rather than map IDs. For
    example, if the URL is
    http://www.myhelp.com/index.htm#custom_topic.htm,
    Firefox will load the page as expected (except it appears to
    continue loading the page, which is another issue that is discussed
    in another forum), but either immediately loads the parent topic
    (if the requested topic is a subtopic in a book) or displays a
    "Page Cannot Be Displayed" error. It's peculiar in that the correct
    topic loads (the one after the octothorpe), but Firefox (or
    WebHelp--I'm not sure who's to blame here) then goes to the parent
    topic or displays the error. Any guesses?

    I agree with Peter's obervation about test projects.
    Let me suggest some patches. They may cure the
    load-topic/reload-default-topic misbehavior.
    In the output file whtbar.js look for this line:
    else
    if(sType=="hide2"&&(!gbNav4)&&(!gbOpera))
    It occurs only once. Change it to
    else if(sType=="hide2"&&(!gbOpera))
    In the same output file, near the end, look for
    function tryReload()
    if (gnRE==1)
    document.location.reload();
    gnRE--;
    Make it read
    function tryReload()
    if (gnRE==1)
    // document.location.reload();
    gnRE--;
    About those JavaScript references you were deleting, you need
    to keep them because they have browser-sniffing and filtering code.
    Also:
    In the output file myproject.htm look for these lines near
    the beginning:
    <meta name="description" content="WebHelp 5.50">
    </head>
    Delete </head> here because it belongs elsewhere.
    In the same output file myproject.htm look for these lines
    near the end:
    </script>
    <frameset cols="100%,*" frameborder=no border=0>
    Make them read
    </script>
    </head>
    <frameset cols="100%,*" frameborder=no border=0>
    At the very end before </html>, insert
    <body></body>:
    <body></body>
    </html>
    Why, you may ask, would Firefox be affected by code that
    filters for Nav4?
    I don't completely get it, but it seems Firefox also
    identifies itself as a Mozilla browser, and the ancient code in
    whver.js appears to equate Mozilla with Nav4. Once this flag is
    set, it is not turned off. In fact browser ID flags accumulate. So
    Firefox may be burdened with RH browser ID flags for Mozilla, Nav4
    and maybe Nav5, Nav 6, Nav61 and Nav7.
    Just try to find your way through all the RH code filters
    with those flags.
    If you're really adventuresome, go into whver.js and add flag
    definitions for gbFirefox (I think gb stood for generic browser,
    i.e., not IE) and insert it into all the "if" conditions where you
    think it should be treated the same as, or differently from, the
    other browsers.
    Disclaimers and warnings:
    All of the above applies to RH 5 code. I haven't had time to
    look in RH6. Adobe may have fixed some, not others.
    Because these are output files, RH probably will overwrite
    them when you publish a revised version, so you must check the new
    published output.
    As always:
    It works for me but may not work for you; back up everything,
    test and retest, etc., etc. My driver's license is good in my chair
    but may not be valid elsewhere.
    Good luck.

  • SWF not displayed in Firefox

    Using RoboHelp to publish on FrameMaker book with embedded
    SWF Captivate content. All works fine in IE, but the SWF files do
    not play in Firefox. The output does of course contain an object
    tag for the movie, but Firefox desn't like it. You can edit the
    object tag manually (change the codebase attribute to a
    type="application/x-shockwave-flash" attribute) so that it works,
    but that's hardly a solution. Any way of getting the output to work
    in both Firefox and IE out of the box?
    This behaviour is the same when generating HTML or Flash
    help.

    The issue can be fixed by running the attached RoboHelp Script.
    Inorder to run the script, perform the following steps
    Download the attached zip file and unzip FixObjectTagForSWF.jsx to disk.
    Open the RoboHelp Project
    Click Menu item View->Pods->Script Explorer to open the Scripts Pod
    Click "Import Script" button from the Scripts Pod tool bar.
    Select the downloaded file from the disk to import the script.
    Select the script file that appears in the pod and click "Run Script" button.
    This shall fix the issue and the SWF should work in both Firefox and IE.
    [NOTE: The script will make permanent changes to the topics of the project. Please test the script on a sample project to see if it fixes your issue before running it on the final project]

  • SWF not displaying correctly in IE

    Alright, here it goes. I have a swf that is embedded into an
    HTML file. This swf plays an FLV. It uses a series of masks to form
    the FLV to a circle and leave the background transparent. There are
    circular frames around the FLV. There is also a circle mask right
    on top of the FLV itself. All layers below the mask, except for one
    that is a bitmap, fail to show in IE. It all works perfectly in
    Firefox.Is it the fault of the mask? Is there something else I
    missed?
    Thanks

    There is a limit of 12 layers of (non-opaque) transparency
    (when you use
    high quality setting) .. not sure if that applies to masks.
    There are also
    problems with text being masked. But none of these should
    make a difference
    with IE vs Firefox. Do you have the same version of the
    player for Firefox
    as for IE? Are you using wmode=transparent .. that can cause
    al SORT of
    problems.

  • SWF not displaying on iOS

    I'm currently developing a game using AIR. I'm using Flash Builder 4.5.
    I tried loading swf and static images using the Loader class but when exported and put on an iPod none of these images showed. I changed it to something like this:
    Code:
    [Embed(source="images/bomb.swf")]
              private var bombClass:Class;
              private var bomb:Sprite=new bombClass;
    which works for static images (.jpg or .png) but the .swf still do not show.
    Also it should be noted that these all show in the emulator and on Android. It is only on the iPod that they don't show up.
    Any ideas?

    I tried to check users forum and can see that multiple users have complained about this issue , have you tried to contact them ? If not then I would suggest you to contact them directly.

  • Interactive PDF (with embedded SWF) not displaying consistently

    Hi folks,
    We are seeing varying behaviour when we try to open a PDF document which we have created as part of publishing to PDF in Captivate 6. The original project is a recorded PPT file which we publish to HTML5, SWF, ZIP and PDF. In some instances the interactive PDF opens fine, but in some instances we get something like this:
    We have always made sure we have the latest version of reader up to date etc, but can't work out why some machines are giving the above and others done. Any help would be greatly appreciated

    Hey JT,
    Came across this: http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/known-issues-acrobat-xi-reader.html
    I know you said you have reader 10, but I had 11, so I went and removed it and and installed a version of 10 again, and wht do you know, they work ok. However, this is not a workable solution for us as many students will automatically update to the latest PDF reader, which is currently 11. Adobe changing the rules around this has stuffed us up, and we have no option but to take offline all our interactive PDF versions produced with Captivate 6. Very disappointing, but will save our helpdesk a lifetime of support calls :-(

  • JSP not displaying images when using filter .....

    Hi there,
    I have a very strange problem. My Jsp page works fine when I call it directly without using the filter which checks if a user is logged in.
    But when I try to hit some other URL, the filter intercepts the request and redirects to the login page in exactly the same way using response.sendRedirect(). But the page does not load the CSS or the images.
    any idea why?
    Sameet

    First, what mage does not load the CSS or images, login page or the page you were trying to go to.
    How are the images and css loaded in the jsp.
    I use something like this
    <img width="38" height="38" src="<c:out value='${pageContext.request.contextPath}'/>/images/omniManager/sunlogo_box_.5in.jpg" align="middle"/>I've had the same problem you are describing before... it turned out that in my struts config I had my forwards path incorrect. I had path="/standardInput.jsp" instead of path="/jsp/standardInput.jsp" (this is my login page)
    Don't know if this helps.. but it has to be the way you are generating the paths in your jsp. try just outputing the path to the screen and see what it is when it doesn't work.. then figure out how it gets set to that.

    and yest the swf which Im changing it to has already been uploaded(do I need to reupload this file being that it was originally created with flash 8)?
    thanks again
    [Subject line edited by moderator for greater clarity]

    The method of inserting SWF files has changed completely in Dreamweaver CS4. You cannot simply swap the source file.
    Delete the original SWF file from the page, and remove all related code. Then insert the new SWF. You also need to upload expressInstall.swf and swfobject_modified.js from the Scripts folder that Dreamweaver creates in your site root.
