Well I can't guarantee it will immediately solve the flash problem but it will make it easy to get the main swfobject script into the page. There have been lots of improvements since version 2.3.0.4 to 2.3.1.3

Hi Gerry,

I just tried on my local machine  and it seems to work for me.

in layout.master head:

<portal:ScriptLoader id="ScriptLoader1" runat="server" IncludeSwfObject="true" />

this will include the swfobject script loaded from google.

Then I copied the examples expressInstall.swf and test.swf into /Data/Sites/1/flash/

Then I pasted this in to an html module using source view in the editor. I saved it without switching back to wysiwyg view.

<script type="text/javascript">
swfobject.registerObject("myId", "9.0.0", "/Data/Sites/1/flash/expressInstall.swf");
</script> <object id="myId" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="300" height="120">
<param name="movie" value="/Data/Sites/1/flash/test.swf" /> <!--[if !IE]>--> <object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="/Data/Sites/1/flash/test.swf" width="300" height="120"> <!--<![endif]-->
<div>
<h1>Alternative content</h1>
<p><a href="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer"><img alt="Get Adobe Flash player" src="http://www.adobe.com/images/shared/download_buttons/get_flash_player.gif" /></a></p>
</div>
<!--[if !IE]>--> </object> <!--<![endif]--> </object>

It seems to work fine for me.

I'm going to add a module setting to the html module to make it include the swfobject script so you don't have to enable it globally on scriptloader unless you plan to use flash all over the place. This way it will include it automatically on any pages containing an html module configured to require it.

Hope it helps,

Joe

Probably the .swf file expects you to pass a param with the path to the .flv file 

You might try just putting the files in the root and then change the path so it just has the file name. 

I don't consider this any bug nor think it needs more research on my end.

.swf is what is generally used for a main flash movie. I think people who are good with Flash have no problem with this and can easily pass the path of a .flv file to the main .swf file as a parameter but often the path is hard coded inside the main .swf. There are players that can play .flv files but typically I think people just launch them from inside the .swf which orchestrates things. Often there may be multiple clips managed by the main .swf, internally the .swf typically uses a VideoPlayer called FLVPlayback. They drag one onto the canvas of the .swf file from a toolbar.

Best,

Joe
