Hi Baqus

Which insert flash project are you using?  If it's http://our.umbraco.org/projects/insert-flash-file, then perhaps I can help.

What version of swfobject is in your /scripts/ folder?

Dan

Hi Baqus,

Type providing the flash code chunk in here, we can take a look.

Else

Try using fiddler HTML traffic debugging tool: http://www.fiddler2.com. Any request that causing problem or bad request will show up in red.

Regards.

Dan, I'm having the same problem as Baqus.

swfobject.js ver. 2.2

Whenever the page renders, the path to the video is empty.

Viewing the source code on the Content page yields this after the video is inserted:

<div umb_videoheight="315" umb_macroalias="InsertFlashFile" umb_videoid="Bankruptcy2" umb_settingsnode="/media/1275/bankruptcy.swf" umb_videowidth="400" ismacro="true" onresizestart="return false;" umbversionid="99a0a66d-653e-4391-9eba-5d399b86bac0" umbpageid="1266" title="This is rendered content from macro" class="umbMacroHolder"><!-- startUmbMacro -->
<span>No macro content available for WYSIWYG editing</span><!-- endUmbMacro -->
</div>

When the code renders in the browser (FF / IE / etc.), this is what the source code reveals:

<div id="Bankruptcy2">
<strong>  </strong>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer">Get the Flash Player</a> to see this content.</strong></p>
</div>

<script src="/scripts/swfobject.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

<script type="text/javascript">

var path = "";
var videowidth = "400";
var videoid = "Bankruptcy2";
var videoheight = "315";
var flashvars = {};
var attributes = {};
var params = {
  wmode: "transparent",
  allowfullscreen: "true",
  allscriptaccess: "always"
};

swfobject.embedSWF(path, videoid, videowidth, videoheight, "9.0.0", flashvars, params, attributes);

</script>

As you can see, the first var "path" is empty, which is probably why the movie doesn't appear on the page.

The XSLT (InsertFlashFile.xslt) that was installed is:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE xsl:Stylesheet [ <!ENTITY nbsp "&#x00A0;"> ]>
<xsl:stylesheet
    version="1.0"
    xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
    xmlns:msxml="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xslt"
    xmlns:umbraco.library="urn:umbraco.library"
    exclude-result-prefixes="msxml umbraco.library">


<xsl:output method="html" omit-xml-declaration="yes"/>

<xsl:param name="currentPage"/>
<xsl:variable name="videonode" select="/macro/SettingsNode"/>
<xsl:variable name="videoid" select="umbraco.library:Replace(/macro/videoid,' ','')"/>
<xsl:variable name="videopath" select="$videonode/node/data[@alias='umbracoFile']"/>
<xsl:variable name="videoheight" select="/macro/VideoHeight"/>
<xsl:variable name="videowidth" select="/macro/VideoWidth"/>

The four parameters on the InstallFlashFile macro are:

SettingsNode - Choose Video - mediaCurrent
videoid - Video ID (unique, no special chars) - text
VideoWidth - Width - number
VideoHeight - Height - text

Any help that you can give would be greatly appreciated.
