The GFY FLASH overlay ( ie7 problems) - GoFuckYourself.com

SmokeyTheBear · 11-13-2006, 03:56 PM

when you go to close the flash overlay it tells you in ie7 your trying to close the browser window

and p.s. there a way around the "click to activate this control) in ie7 you should use it , notice how the banners dont have that ..

That's the first problem I've heard about with IE7. Since I started using it 2 weeks ago I feel it's the best browser out yet.

use document.write in a script not on the page..

like if you had <object src=file.wmv><param blah></object>

you would do <script src=blah.js></script> then in blah.js do

document.write('<object src=blah etc etc ></object>');

heres a loader for most movie types so you dont have to make a seperate js file for every movie works in both firefox and ie

save this as movie.js

Code:

function iemov( WIDTH, HEIGHT, URL)
{
document.write('<object classid="clsid:6BF52A52-394A-11d3-B153-00C04F79FAA6" width="' + WIDTH + '" height="' + HEIGHT + '">');
document.write('<param name="URL" value="' + URL + '">');
document.write('<param name="autoStart" value="true">');
document.write('<PARAM NAME="invokeurls" VALUE="true">');
document.write('<PARAM NAME="stretchToFit" VALUE="true">');
document.write('<PARAM name="uiMode" value="mini">');
document.write('<PARAM name="PlayCount" value="9999">');
document.write('<param name="background-color" value="white">');
document.write('<param name="ShowStatusBar" value="0"></object>');

}
function ffmov( WIDTH, HEIGHT, URL)
{
document.write('<object data="' + URL + '" type="video/x-ms" width="' + WIDTH + '" height="' + HEIGHT + '">');
document.write('<param name="src" value="' + URL + '">');
document.write('<PARAM name="uiMode" value="full">');
document.write('<PARAM name="PlayCount" value="9999">');
document.write('<param name="autoStart" value="true"></object>');

}

change the params how you see fit

then to load movies into it just call it like this
first put <script src=movie.js></script> in your head then to call movies do this

Code:

<script>
var browser_type=navigator.appName
var browser_version=parseInt(navigator.appVersion)
if (browser_type=="Microsoft Internet Explorer"&&browser_version>=4){
     iemov( "684", "495", "http://file.com/file.wmv")
  }
else {
ffmov( "684", "495", "http://file.com/file.wmv");
} </script>

basically it just detects if your using firefox or ie then picks whatever routine is applicable and embeds the video..

saves you on code too

SmokeyTheBear · 11-13-2006, 04:44 PM

if you want to use flash with it just modify the params inside the movie.js to whatever code your using now and call it the same way

You could save some more code by putting the browser check in movie.js

i've been doing it with seperate javascript files and was hoping i'd figure out how to do multiple Flash movies on one page with just on js file. now if yours' works i have it

thanks Smokey
