Flash button does not work!?

Post by ellaissad »

I have a flash button using the Adobe built in AC_RunActiveContent.js to insert it on my page. When I upload a static html file and test it on my web server, everything works.

When I insert it on a page with a template, it does NOT work. The flash buttons still show up on my page but the link does not go anywhere. I triple checked the code everything matchesbetween my static and my page with CMS - they look the same.

Please help! I tried this for hours.. trying to figure it out. I cannot get the buttons to link.
The only way I can hack this around is to put another tag wrapping it with the tag that insert the flash movie.

Any ideas? It seems like CMS is doing something to avoid it? maybe?  ???

Please help.. thank you very much!

I think I might be having a similar problem, but in a little different of a way.

go to, http://www.theoutline.net and click the links, they should work

then go to http://theoutline.net and click the links, and they wont work

and if you do it in explorer on a pc when you go to close it, it seems to crash.

ellaissad, make sure your script is wrapped in {literal}{/literal} tags. You may also want to try this method of embedding swf: http://code.google.com/p/swfobject/

Hi pengiea
the problem you have with flash is related to the security settings in the flash player.
You will need to put a Cross domain policy xml file on your server allowing *.theoutline.net

for more info search adobe or flash help for "crossdomain policy"

And consider using the swfobject2 (http://dev.cmsmadesimple.org/projects/swfobject) to embed your flash.

Hope this helps?
