Hi folks

I am trying to display a DIY Map (flash) on my site. This reads from an xml file of points. Using an html/trext module and following the html instructions on the DIY Map site it worked just fine in Firefox and Chrome but not in IE7.

On the other hand, the flash loaded just fine on IE7 using the media module - but the xml would not load up.

Here is the html I am using:

<object height="420" align="top" width="770" classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/ shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,0,0" id="zoom_map">

<param name="movie" value="world/world.swf?data_file=/Portals/0/world/data.xml" />

<param name="quality" value="high" />

 <param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF" />

<embed height="420" align="top" width="770" src="world/world.swf?data_file=/Portals/0/world/data.xml" quality="high" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" name="Clickable World Map" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"></embed> </object>

Any suggestions?

For what it's worth...
Not sure what your issue is but adding flash with "object embed" is the old way of doing things -- it has HTML/XHTML compliance issues and may not work well under certain page rendering modes.  The "modern" method is to use javascript to create an object of type "flashobject".

Here's some info (this is a little old but is still relevant):  http://blog.deconcept.com/flashobject/

I'd suggest you go grab a simple Flash movie file and experiment with getting that to play within DNN before attempting to integrate the more advanced Flash file with XML data source.
 
Good luck!

Hi folks

For the record, I finally got there with this nasty belt-and-braces code...

<div align="center">

<object height="420" align="top" width="770" id="zoom_map" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/ shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,0,0" classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000">

<param value="about:blank" name="movie" />

<param value="high" name="quality" />

<param value="#FFFFFF" name="bgcolor" />

<embed height="420" align="top" width="770" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" name="Clickable World Map" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" quality="high" src="world/world.swf?data_file=/Portals/0/world/data.xml"></embed>

</object>

</div>

PS I do recommend DIY World Map, though.
