SWFobject module

Introduction

With this module you can use the syntax of the SWFObject script to insert a Flash object inside a module in Joomla 1.5, 1.6, 1.7, 2.5 and 3.x. leaving the HTML code clean and validated.

SWFObject is an easy-to-use and standards-friendly method to embed Flash content, which utilizes one small JavaScript file.
This module includes version 2.2 of SWFobject.
It's compatible with all browsers, so you no longer have to go crazy distinguishing code for each one.

If you want help with the translation into your language just send me the en-GB.mod_swfobject.ini file translated, indicating the language. I'll add it to the next update.

Thanks waL! this is exactly what I was looking for... I tried with other tools but this ones is THE one. Very simple, easy to use and install. Also very kind for your part the support you personaly have given.

Note: Take care with flash in joomla if you load images from an external xml, php or others: the path must be absolute in the file or convert it to absolute inside flash! if not it doesn't works.

Good app

Good app, only downside is lack of support. For example for life of me i cant figure out how to change background colour

This module works like a charm! Although I hope there's a way to resize or remove the gray box which is wider than my flash width size. Please let me know if you're able to fix this. THanks

Congratulations for the great work, but can you explain about how to center the swf object in the template position? I have tried google and documentation but not found any about this. Gratefull!

Owner's reply: hi aleanjos,
that's a question of styling, try to change the CSS properties.

greetings!

Great Module but no alt image

The module works extremely well and is very easy to use (Joomla 1.6). The only limitation is that you cannot have an alternative image populate the image space if Flash is not enabled on the user end, just text.

Owner's reply: hi, martinrandal,
in the alternative content you can put all the html you need, even images.

thanks for your review and good luck!

Works well with Flash+XML for IE, Chrome, Safari, but not FireFox!

After some puzzling I got this module to work with a Flash file that uses an XML file to load text and Images. Unfortunately it is not documented in the modules limited docs, but you have to pass the XMLURL variable in the file's name variable:

yourswfpath.swf?XMLURL=yourxmlpath.xml

Also keep in mind that the path in your xml file to the image locations need to be resolvable by joomla!

After this I got it working for Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Apple Safari. Unfortunately FireFox does not seem to be able to find the xml and is stuck in the 'loading cycle'. If this issue can be resolved I'd give the module a 5 star Rating!

Owner's reply: Hi, rowbird,

I would like to test your flash + xml + text + images...
because in order to show how to pass the xml file path as a parameter, making the module work properly

thanks for your review and for the 5 stars!
:D
