Embedd Flash with SWFObject

Hi there,

I tried to embedd a simple Flash File with SWFObject using the Snippets for "swfObject Expanded" from the extras Website.
http://modxcms.com/extras.html?view=package/view&package=443

Unforturnately it does not work.

I placed the
swfobject.js file into assets/snippets/swfObject

I called it in on my site:
<script type="text/javascript" src="/assets/snippets/swfObject/swfobject.js"></script>

I copied and paste the contents of swfObject into my snippet.
I called my snippet:
[[swfObject? &swfid=`hoerprobediversity` &swfFile=`http://www.lars-keitel.de/assets/flash/hoerprobe_diversity.swf` &swfWidth=`510` &swfHeight=`150`]]

The site only shows a space where the swf supposed to be. A right click tells me that the movie isn’t loaded.

What could be the problem?

Does anyone use SWFObject 2.0 and has a Snippet for that?

Thanks,
Regina

I just had the same problem!

Open up swfobject.class.php and change lines 51 and 93 to case ’1’: and case ’2’: respectively. This will make the actual check match the documentation.

After I made this change I was able to get it working great!

Conversely, you could change your snippet parameter to &mode=`static` or &mode=`dynamic` if you’re not comfortable editing the PHP.
