swfObject with express install problems

blu3 · 02-07-2007, 07:40 PM

Here is a situation, this is my index.html file:

Code:

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="swfobject.js"></script>

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<title>Seminarski rad - "BrainWave tehnologija"</title>
</head>

<style>
   body{padding:0px;margin:0px};
</style>

<body bgcolor="#cccccc">

<!--
<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0" width="100%" height="100%" id="index" align="middle">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
<param name="movie" value="index.swf" /><param name="quality" value="high" /><param name="scale" value="noscale" /><param name="salign" value="lt" /><param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff" /><embed src="index.swf" quality="high" scale="noscale" salign="lt" bgcolor="#ffffff" width="100%" height="100%" name="index" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" />
</object>
-->

<div id="flashcontent">
Kako bi ispravno vidjeli ovu web stranicu morate nadograditi svoj Flash Player, a to možete napraviti <A HREF="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflash/">OVDJE</A> tako što kliknete na "Install now" dugme.
</div>

<script type="text/javascript">
  var so = new SWFObject("index.swf","index","100%","100%","8","#ffffff",true);
  so.write("flashcontent");
</script>

</body>
</html>

and i have following AS in my first frame of index.swf:

Code:

// used for express install - not required for plain SWFObject use
// for more info, see http://blog.deconcept.com/swfobject/

#include "expressinstall.as"

// initialize the ExpressInstall object
var ExpressInstall = new ExpressInstall();

// if the user needs to upgrade, show the 'start upgrade' button
if (ExpressInstall.needsUpdate) {
   
   // this is optional, you could also automatically start the
   // upgrade by calling ExpressInstall.init() here instead of the following lines

   // attach the custom upgrade message  ** NOTE: see notes in Upgrade Message movieclip re: types of content to use
   var upgradeMsg = _root.attachMovie("upgradeMsg_src", "upgradeMsg", 1);
   upgradeMsg._x = Stage.width / 2;
   upgradeMsg._y = Stage.height / 2;
   
   // attach the button actions that will start the ExpresInstall updater
   upgradeMsg.upgradeBtn.onRelease = function() {
      ExpressInstall.init();
   }
   // if expressinstall is invoked, stop the timeline.
   stop();
}

// -----
// alternate usage:
// -----
/*

// test to see if install is needed:

if (ExpressInstall.needsUpdate) { // returns true if update is needed
  ExpressInstall.init(); // starts the update
  stop();
}

// otherwise, start the movie normally

*/

The problem is that when i view my page from IE (without Flash 8 or higher installed) i get the text from "flashcontent" div in my index.html and i don't get that express install movie clip from which you can click on "start" button and then upgrade you flash player. Also, if i open the page with IE (with Flash player 8 installed) i get the same thing, text from "flashcontent" tag is displayed like i don't have flash player 8+ installed and that's it. Does anyone know where is the problem?

thanks
