Why doesn't this html display

The html below doesn't display in a XOOPS html block. Oddly enough, though, the sound plays in IE.

It's a flash swf file that DOES display as a seperate html page. So what's stopping it from displaying in an html block. And all the files are in the right folder.

You have one path here...

<PARAM name=movie VALUE="bba3/bba3.swf">


and a different path here...

<EMBED WIDTH=50% HEIGHT=50% src="bba3.swf" menu=false quality=autohigh scale=exactfit wmode=opaque TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash" PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash">


I typically try to keep the paths the same - see VALUE in first example and src in second. Hope that helps.

There is also a pretty nice module that works well with Flash .swf files its called SmartMedia 0.85. You can view your video content right in your XOOPS site or have a link to open in another window if you choose. I have it installed on my site and it works well.

Thanks, but I fixed this and still had the problem -- sound but no flash video.

I have the same issue. Flash embed code works perfect in standalone html page, soon as I try and put it in a block... nothing.

I noticed though that when I take the "www" out of the url to the standalone it causes the same error. don't know if this has anything to do with it, but it's very annoying.

This is a flash that has an .xml file it referrs to, is yours the same or is it just a simple standalone .swf?

I think it has something to do with the permissions in flash. For example...

I had the block on "http://www.mysite.com" but I had the flash in "http://www.mysite.com/flash/flash.swf" soon as I moved it to the root "http://www.mysite.com" so that the code would read "flash.swf" instead of "flash/flash.swf" for some reason it worked. But I only have this issue with flash that has a config.xml file that it refers to.

hope this helps.

alternatively you could alwasy put the standalone .html page into an iframe.
