Hello, sorry for the delay (this project is not maintained at present).

If you see the headers of the posts, this means the plugin works and loads the requested posts.

There are eitheer 2 issues. 1. The posts do not have thumbnails/images attached to them, Or 2. It is a css issue

Hello there sorry for the delay (this project is not maintained at present).

Well he plugin outputs a cod similar to the one you posted (full html), given the flash url, width/height and any extra parameters

i would say, yes it should display the flash fine

Hello, sorry for the delay (this project is not maintained at present).

No there is no way (by the plugin) to use a image placeholder, but it should be easy to add it through html/css

Hi,

what kind of error is there exactly?

In case you cannot upload a swf into your site, most probably this is a server/wordpress settings error not a plugin issue

Media uploading is handled by wordpress itself.

For any other error, further information is needed.

Cheers

Yes this is possible,

just use

echo do_shortcode('[elastic_slide posts="3804,3790,3772,3768,3762,3739,2947,2197,49"]');

inside your php

do_shortcode function takes a string with the shortcode and produces the output, so it is the same, but in php

Note: this project has stopped, is not maintained

Hi it seems you need to enable shortcode parsing in the sidebar widget you use

This is a shortcode, it must be parsed in order to produce the desired output (the flash movie)

Further development on this plugin has stopped!!

Use as you wish.

Cheers

Hi, this is a server issue, it seems the php settings in the server
do not allow the getimagesize function (which is used to get the swf dimensions) to work.

Use as you wish.

The theme style seems to take precedence over the elastic-slide css
(using firebug) so the elastic-slide css is not accessed at all for the slider elements

The slider has a container class “elastic-slide”, target this class
with your css or alter the theme css rules to not override this class container.

Hi Tommy,

the link does not show any js error. It seems the images are just too large so the slider is broken (does not appear horizontal)

There seems to be a css issue, making the items not wrap themselves

It is probably related to the theme you use. Try to play around with the css rules for the items and/or the container.

The slider css is loaded on the page (at the bottom), this is done so as to load the assets only when needed (slider is present on the page).

Hope this helps

The flash object options for scaling are implemented in the plugin

However the swf itself (the actionscript, depending on implementation) must support the scaling options.

Else it might be css issue.

Not sure if anything else can be done

Any link?

Hi Jeanne,

normally you can add all the posts you want, however
it is going to be really slow after a certain number of posts

(maybe between 10-15 should be fine, dont overdo it)

The plugin allows any number of posts, but loading all the posts in your database (especially if there are many) might create speed/memory issues

Hope this helps

Hi Jeanne,

the shortcode parameter is like this:

[elastic_slide posts=”..ids of posts here with commas..”]

so your example is correct:

[elastic_slide posts=”3804,3790,3772,3768,3762,3739,2947,2197,49″]

(better remove the spaces, might interefer, havent tested)

Hope this helps

Hi, added new version 0.3.4
which supports more flash options (quality, scale)

setting to scale to Exact Fit, should work fine

Cheers

Maybe another idea, would be to use a responsive plugin
which makes swf movies responsive along with top-flash-embed plugin
(maybe this will be added as an option in a later update)

https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/tags/responsive

and use a full-page container for the swf movie

Thus the movie will stretch to full-browser dimensions (very close to full-screen)

Beware, the swf movie must implement this responsive option in its code

Most swf movies will stretch with no issue, however for swfs which
have programmatic graphics, they need to implement such option in their code

This, in actionscript, is an event when the scene resizes, the code adjusts the dimensions of the objects accordingly

Hope this helps

Hi Derek,

as far as i know, having a swf movie in fullscreen mode
the swf movie must implement it in the first place and the user must interact to make it happen (allow it)

So it is not part of the top-flash-embed plugin.

Maybe a solution would be to embed the swf movie using large dimensions,
i am not aware of anything else

If you have any information on this, i would be glad to hear
