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.

Collaboration

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.

Thankyou

i would rate 5 star for this module but hey.. it wont work if you have two modules on the same page .. only one works or nether of them.. that's pretty bad.. too bad.. this module had such a great potential :/

After trying several other flash management extensions I found that this is the only one that works perfectly on firefox 3. Furthermore this was the only one extension that worked for my page.

Please update wiki!!

I wasn't able to test the module but I was so excited to find it only to realize that I cannot use it due to lack of documentation. Someone asked the exact same problem I'm having "where to get the id to fill in the parameters", and that was since march with no answer...I must add that i'm a beginner but I don't mind reading and learning where it's available. Please updtae wiki and answer to comments on documentation page... thank you for your hard work though....

Too bad it doesnt work with XML

I have tried this module with a header with flash and xml from flashxml.net, but it sadly doesnt work due to the fact that there isnt anay xml exporting into swf or any way to manipulate that in this module. maybe in the near future?

Owner's reply: hi, pauca!
of course there is way to communicate flash with xml, you just have to define your variables and make the appropriate calls...

Very convenient module

I just wanted to put a SWF on my home page (an animated slideshow type of thing with some links), and wanted to reiterate some of the other reviews that this was the only SWF module that worked for me.

Thanks for a great exension!

After trying 3 other flash module extensions and not being able to get any of them to work I installed your extension and it worked right out of the box. A little CSS to position it in the header where I wanted the swf to play and I'm done :)

The test.swf you included was very good thinking too, as it allowed me to know as soon as I installed the extension that the module worked.

Great job!

Alternative content

Good and simple module!

One note: It connects to adobe.com. Is that to get the button for installing flash-player?

I think options for alternative content would be great! I would prefer not to display the upgrade text and button, only the code I specify as alternative content!

Owner's reply: I feel very good your appreciation! in the next update will give the possibility to show the link to the adobe flash player if you choose. but for now you have the option of introducing alternative content in html.

thanks for your feed!
