allowScriptAccess="always"

[ccrider]

I had to get rid of SWFObject implementation on the one page where it
was working fine because in Safari on Mac (obviously), I ran into the
weird problem that the getURL actionscript in my Flash wasn't
executing. None of the buttons worked on onframe functions which used
getURL did not work either.

After some tooling around, I discovered that the problem can be solved
by adding parameters to your old-school object tag:

<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always">

allowScriptAccess="always">

I thought for a moment about where to implement such parameters in the
SWFObject tag.
Can you add these to SWFObject?
I couldn't get it to work so I just went back to the old-school way
like you see here:

Of course you can add it to swfobject :) The whole point is that you can
mark up and embed you flash files as if you were using the oldschool
object/embed.

You add it you your param object like any other required or optional param:

<script type="text/javascript">
var flashvars = {};
var params = {};
var attributes = {};

params.allowscriptaccess = "always";

swfobject.embedSWF("myContent.swf", "myContent", "300", "120",
"9.0.0","expressInstall.swf", flashvars, params, attributes);
</script>

Reading the documentation should help also... It describes all of this

Ah, so  SWFObject means I have to learn javascript now, too. Sweeeet. I read the documentation before and it didn't help me do much except struggle with 4 days. Any help I got was from people on this group or on other message boards. The documentation assumes the user who is trying to figure out how to work this thing already knows several things and does not bother to mention them. So, sorry I did not check the documentation on this particular problem, but I did not want to waste another 4 days when I can just drop SWFObject and use old-school embed instead. Thank you for your answer and saving me a lot of time. It's going in my file. :)

Yeah, there is a learning curve and some assumed knowledge by the authors. The library is intended for use by web developers who feel comfortable (a least a bit anyhow) with javascript and what a DOM is.

 

I recommend beginners check out the code generator, as it will write 90% of the code you require for you:

First off - thanks very much for swfobject 2.0, it's great and saves a
lot of blood, sweat and tears. We've used it on the new Yahoo!7 front
page in Australia. http://au.yahoo.com/



I've had a problem with getting clickthroughs to work-

I have params.allowscriptaccess = "always";

but cannot make getURL calls work

this is when omitting the optional expressinstall parameter

the problem does not occur when expressinstall is being used.

any advice gratefully recieved.

Can you supply a code snippet? I just want to confirm that all the
params are being passed correctly.

1 with the working code, and 1 with the broken code.

Cheers,
