As I’ve mentioned in other forum posts, you’ll want to take a look over here in order to fix the issue with Kimili Flash Embed and WP 2.7.

Anyone who is having a problem with WP2.7 and Kimili Flash Embed should have a look over here.

Cheers,
Michael

If your having issues with WP2.7, I suggest you take a look over here. It may also help with IE7 compatibility, too.

Take a look over here.

I haven’t checked it in the beta, but will when I get a chance.

@ktcosmos – If you’re trying to use a KFE tag on a PHP file that exists outside of the theme folder, it’s not going to work.

KFE relys on certain hooks that WordPress provides to do it’s thing, and if it’s not processing a WordPress template (theme file), KFE won’t run.

Additionally, I see you have <txp:kml_flashembed_js/> on at least the makeappointment.php page. That’s not going to work at all, as that’s a tag designed for the Textpattern version of KFE.

Since KFE is really just an easy interface for the SWFObject javascript to be used within the confines of WordPress or Textpattern, and you’re trying to use it outside either CMS, I suggest you use straight SWFObject javascript code.

Hope this helps.

@waveminded – Looks like your site is working fine…

Do you have a URL to share where the plugin isn’t working?

Hi – I’ve fixed the incompatibility with CForms ( and any other plugin that uses the buttonsnap library ) in Kimili Flash Embed v.1.4.1. The dreaded “fatal error” message is no more!

Cindy –

Yes, that’s a random number generated by KFE, unique every time you use a KFE tag is processed, put there so you can embed multiple instances of the same file on a page without a problem.

And as for the embedding of the KFE tag, you don’t want to embed it in the middle of an element, as you have done:

<div id="header" align="center" [kml_flashembed movie="https://www.aug08.org/movie4.swf" height="215" width="760" fversion="9" useexpressinstall="true"/]>

That’s going to give you validation errors and unpredictable results. You want to embed nested it in an element like so:

<div id="header" align="center">
    [kml_flashembed movie="https://www.aug08.org/movie4.swf" height="215" width="760" fversion="9" useexpressinstall="true"/]
</div>

The KFE tag will get replaced by an additional Div element (<div id="so_targ_movie4_33075269" class="flashmovie"></div>), inside which the movie gets rendered.

Hope this makes sense.

Cheers,
Michael

Alistair – Are you getting any javascript errors? The plugin creates a link to an external javascript file, and perhaps the pathing to that file is incorrect in your case. If so, you would see errors along the lines of “FlashObject not defined”.

Hi everybody –

Those of you that are seeing the KFE tag code output to your site rather than the flash content, know that it is due to an incompatibility with the plugin and using GZIP compression in your WP settings.

For more info, see the FAQs on the Kimili Flash Embed Home Page

seville – I am aware of the problem that makes it difficult to post 2 or more galleries on the same page. It stems from using multiple instances of a SWF on a page. The way around it involves creating divs (or some other element) with unique ID attributes to use as the placeholder for a movie and then referencing those placeholders with the Kimili Flash Embed’s target attribute.

That said, I am wrapping up a BIG update to this plugin. This is one of the issues it will address. You’ll be able to post multiple instances of any SWF without having to define placeholders, so look for it in the next few days on my site.

Cheers!
Michael

Hi kiroukou –

It’s Michael here, developer of the Kimili Flash Embed plugin. I know the problem and will soon release an update for the plugin which will fix the compatibility issues with not only Click Counter, but a number of other plugins.
