I am currently attempting to add a Flash video to an HTML page serverd by Lenya and am having problems.
I am taking a working version of a page provided by the flash content developer, this has the following code: <script src="Scripts/AC_RunActiveContent.js" type="text/javascript"></script> . . . <script type="text/javascript"> AC_FL_RunContent( 'codebase','http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0','width','400','height','320','id','FLVPlayer','src','FLVPlayer_Progressive','flashvars','&MM_ComponentVersion=1&skinName=Corona_Skin_3&streamName=aviation&autoPlay=true&autoRewind=true','quality','high','scale','noscale','name','FLVPlayer','salign','lt','pluginspage','http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer','movie','FLVPlayer_Progressive' ); //end AC code </script> <noscript> </noscript> I tried to make use of this code, the 'AC_FL_RunContent' javascript function is provided by Adobe and adds the flash viewer object to the page dynamically. I had an problem in Lenya using this method as the string "&MM_ComponentVersion=1&skinName=Corona_Skin_3&streamName=aviation&autoPlay=true&autoRewind=true" could not be parsed due to the presence of the & characters. In looking for a means to get around this issue I found the SWFObject javascript object by Geoff Stearns at http://blog.deconcept.com/swfobject/. This gave me an alternate means of achieving the same thing as 'AC_FL_RunContent' but a bit more readable and with the FlashVars string broken up. However, I still have the same problem, no video plays. It seems that the FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf file is downloaded from the Lenya server but the video (streamName=aviation) and skin (skinName=Corona_Skin_3) cannot be obtained by the player. I have a simple test script that works when all files can be accessed locally, as below: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd";> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";> <head> <script src="swfobject.js" type="text/javascript"> </script> </head> <body> <div id="flashcontent"/> <script type="text/javascript"> var so = new SWFObject("FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf", "objflash", "400", "320", "8", "#FF6600"); so.addVariable("MM_ComponentVersion","1"); so.addVariable("skinName","Corona_Skin_3"); so.addVariable("streamName","Aviation"); so.addVariable("autoPlay","true"); so.addVariable("autoRewind","true"); so.write("flashcontent"); </script> </body> </html> changing the location of "FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf" to be "http://localhost:8082/lenya/TLP/authoring/INDIVIDUAL/IDV-ABOUT-TL/AVIATION-SECTOR/FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf"; results in that file being downloaded to the browser, so I suspect that the problem is accessing the skin and stream files from the server but making these static links does not work either, ie: so.addVariable("skinName","http://localhost:8082/lenya/TLP/authoring/INDIVIDUAL/IDV-ABOUT-TL/MARITIME-SECTOR/Corona_Skin_3.swf";); so.addVariable("streamName","http://localhost:8082/lenya/TLP/authoring/INDIVIDUAL/IDV-ABOUT-TL/MARITIME-SECTOR/Aviation.flv";); In looking at the Lenya log I've just now seen that my diagnosis is correct: 106695048 2007-11-21 17:46:01,324 [http-8082-Processor22] ERROR sitemap.handled-errors.prepareErrorHandler():167 - No pipeline matched request: TLP/authoring/INDIVIDUAL/IDV-ABOUT-TL/MARITIME-SECTOR/Corona_Skin_3.swf Should have thought to look there earlier!!! What do I need to add to the Lenya sitemap, any suggestions? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/problems-using-flash-video-with-Lenya-tf4848463.html#a13872148 Sent from the Lenya - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
