Did not work in current version of WP / Chrome

Helo there,
i cannot seem to reproduce this.

i have latest Chrome (25.0.1364.172 ) and latest WP (3.5.1) (Wimdows)
and it works fine,
unfortunately i cannot post a screnshot here and my blog is down at this time
but you can see a screenshot at this url:
https://nikos-web-development.netai.net/top-flash-embed-chrome.png

i tested with all combinations of wmode, allowfullscreen etc..

If i am missing sth, it would be good to fix.
That is the purpose of releasing plugins for other people to use.

So if you have more information about what actually is the problem,
i will fix asap.

Thanks

I’m having the same problem too https://dummy.purplesocksweb.co.uk/aloe-matters/ the magazine in IE but not in firefox or chrome

Hi esthern

seeing yuor page the swf movie does not exist, the url is the site’s home url, so if you click on flash player it pops up with ‘movie not loaded’

This is the movie url, as you see there is no swf given:
<param name=”movie” value=”https://www.foreverknowledge.info/aloematters/&#8221; />

Also i see you use fitvids and fancybox, usually there is no conflict, but it would be good to test without them

This is the code as generated by the plugin

[topswf swf='https://www.foreverknowledge.info/aloematters/' width='400' height='300' wmode='transparent' flashvars='' allowfullscreen='true']

I don’t know what fitvids and fancybox are, I haven’t installed them.

Hi estern, the code is correct,

the swf url is wrong, i am not sure why that is.

Try adding the swf url/location manually, or using another of Top-Flash-Embed methods (there are 2, either from media button, or tinymce popup) and see that the actual swf movie url is correct

then access the page and see it in action.

as I said, the page displays correctly in internet explorer, and not chrome or firefox, I have just confirmed this and can send you a screen shot if you give me an email address

Correct,

can you try using a swf url which has the actual .swf in the path and try it? It is possible this is the issue.

Thanks

Also try with wmode=’opaque’ as this has implications per browser also

this is the item I am trying to embed, there is no .swf https://www.foreverknowledge.info/aloematters/

I have changed the wmode to opaque and this has made no difference (still displaying fine in IE

what is flashvars? Does that need to be set to anything? I don’t know what to do with that one

Hi esthern,
flashvars is a way to pass parameters to a swf movie
(eg an xml configuration file) in a similar way as url parameters are passed to a url

i cannot seemt to reproduce this issue you are having,
so this thread is left open, and for any further updates

Looking this further

It is possible this is a result of same-origin security policy, the swf resides in a different domain than the site that calls it,

Also i see swfobject script is used on that url, not sure if it has any implications

surely that is the point of an embed plugin, to enable content from domains to be displayed in other domains?

This depends on many parameters,
the browser, the domain and the swf itself.

But it is true the plugin misses the parameter to allow (if possible) the embeding of a different domain

This is going to be added eventually, however usually swfs should be serverd from same domain.

Is this resolved now?

well, in so much as I now know this plugin isn’t what I am looking for, yes.

thank you for your help

Thank you!. Your code worked perfectly on all browser platforms.
regards,
david
