Hey Everyone,

I can't get a flash header to work on my .ascx page. I'm not sure if it's supposed to work, but the coding I have for it is posted below. Let me know of any initial reactions and thanks in advance.

 

<script href="../../../../js/AC_RunActiveContent.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<div class="container">
    <div class="header">
    <div class="headerflash" id="HeaderPane" runat="server" visible="true">
      <script type="text/javascript">
AC_FL_RunContent( 'codebase','http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,28,0','width','1000','height','260','title','Golf Club of Illinois - Algonquin, IL','src','gci_flash','quality','high','pluginspage','http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash','movie','gci_flash' ); //end AC code
</script><noscript><object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,28,0" width="1000" height="260" title="Golf Club of Illinois - Algonquin, IL">
        <param name="movie" value="gci_flash.swf" />
        <param name="quality" value="high" />
        <embed src="gci_flash.swf" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="1000" height="260"></embed>

I haven't used AC_RunActiveContent.js (I use swfobject), but the same problems usually surface. The main area is to get all the paths right. Here, all paths are relative to the displayed page (which is something like http://yourdomain.com/Default.aspx omitting all the "fluff" like TabID etc.), not relative to the location where your skin is (usually Website/Portals/_default/Skins/yourSkin).

This means, your gci_flash.swf file is supposed to be at http://yourdomain.com/gci_flash.swf, which is the root of your website (in the /Website folder). You can try and open it directly with your browser to verify that everything is in the correct location. 

Then your AC_RunActiveContent.js file (which I think is causing the problem) is supposed to be 4 levels up from http://yourdomain.com/Default.aspx  which really isn't possible. You may need to adjust this path - you can always try to open it directly in your browser (eg. http://yourdomain.com/js/AC_RunActiveContent.js, which would require "<script href="js/AC_RunActiveContent.js" type="text/javascript"></script>" if your /Website folder contains a js folder with AC_RunActiveContent.js). Hope this helps...

Mike, and anyone else with a valid opinion to this problem.

I edited the text and ended up with the following code. Everything worked fine, and then the flash header just disappears more than half the time. It seems like once in awhile when I open a new browser it's there and then.... gone. Any ideas?

 

<script src="../js/AC_RunActiveContent.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
   
<div class="container">
    <div class="header">
    <div class="headerflash" id="HeaderPane" runat="server" visible="true">
      <script type="text/javascript">
AC_FL_RunContent( 'codebase','http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,28,0','width','1000','height','260','title','Golf Club of Illinois - Algonquin, IL','src','gci_flash','quality','high','pluginspage','http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash','movie','gci_flash' ); //end AC code
</script><noscript><object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,28,0" width="1000" height="260" title="Golf Club of Illinois - Algonquin, IL">
        <param name="movie" value="gci_flash.swf" />
        <param name="quality" value="high" />
        <embed src="gci_flash.swf" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="1000" height="260"></embed>
      </object></noscript></div>

Ah yes, things don't always go quite smoothly...  I had my share of problems too. While I'm not a Flash expert, you could try without AC_FL_RunContent and just use the <object ....> code that you currently have in the <noscript> tag. If using just the plain <object> works better, that could mean it's a problem with AC_FL_RunContent.

Then also, maybe things are overlapping/overlaying each other - try another browser, maybe results are different - anything can provide a clue.

Last, I found that the wmode parameter set to transparent can "fix" things (again, not a Flash expert here).

Hope this helps a bit.
