Object Embeding

[pamma83]

Hello,

does anyone know why when you upload a swf file and want to embed that on myspace or other website with the following code:

<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://www.spyderrecords.com/myspace/bang.swf" height="300" width="600">
<param name="movie" value="http://www.spyderrecords.com/myspace/bang.swf" />
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="never" />
<param name="allowNetworking" value="internal" />
</object>

nothing seems to show up on the myspace page or is there that can be done to have this start workig?

thanks in advance

I think MySpace blocks a bunch of code. After you add the code, view the source of your page and see if the code is there or if it was stripped.

yes i checked to see if the code is still there.. and it shows that it is.. i have other swf files there too with the same code but different movie source for the location and those seem to work fine.. so not sure if i have to make any changes anywhere.. cause i have the file uploaded to the powweb server that im trying to load in the embedded object.

If you look for the SATAY method on line, you will learn more about these flash embeds too. I don't play with flash, but the url above helped me get rid of embed tag to embed player in Firefox, although I am still having major focus issues in Firefox. The same page behaves much differently in IE. My page is www.myvideoby.com

good luck
