Hi Hope your well, this is a great extension, thank you so much for making it! one thing that would be awesome to add to it would be a base param , setable from the Joomla menu. I had some XML that was in another folder and to access it I just added echo ' '; and echo ",'base','".$fm_path."'"; to the code.

Thanks again for a great extensions.

I am thrilled with this module. Have had problems with flash on websites so this is a revelation! So easy and fast to set up and use. I made the mistake of putting the file .swf name in both file and path to begin with but once that was sorted it worked brilliantly! Thank YOU

WINDOW mode doesnt work good for flash banner near the drop down menu system,as the menu items hide behind the flash.
It needs the TRANSPARENT mode and when I activate this on the module paramter, the whol layout of my flash banner changes.

Not sure,why it happens, but doesnt seem to work.
Need the owner's reply.
No real website or support email to contact for also :(

A very nice module, simple and effective. However it's the only one that keeps my site from being 100% valid due to using .
Any chance to modify it using some techiques (e.g. Flash satay)?

This was amazingly FAST and EASY!!! Installed the mod, entered the info, and it worked PERFECTLY!

The only thing I didn't get right the first time was changing "window" to "transparent."

Less than 5 minutes from download to a working flash element!

Thank you!!!

Great module, does exactly what it should :)
However if U're using sh404SEF on your site, be sure to use the absolute path (leading slash) to the folder where the swf file is located...
etc. if it's located in www.sitename.com/images/flash be sure to enter file location like "/images/flash", otherwise the swf movie will be visible ONLY on the homepage....

This is a very easy-to-use module. However, when I turn on Joomla build-in SEF or SH404 SEF, the flash only shows up on the home page. Blank in all other pages.

It returns to normal once I turns off Joomla SEF or SH404 SEF. I run it on a fresh installation of Joomla 1.5.9

Excellent! Using Joomla 1.5.7 and this module works great, even transparency of swf file.
Thank you.

Works simply and nicely. I had a problem with the flash images not showing when someone clicked on "Read more" in my articles.

I examined the module and saw that file path, by default was set to images/flash/

I modified it to /images/flash/ (adding the forward /) and the images on the readmore page loaded fine.

I am forwarding this note to the developer, but felt it would be helpful here until he reviews my suggestion.

This is a very useful component, simple to use and it does what is says.
There should be some documentation though. People might have questions.
No documentation is a big disadvantage for me, no matter how simple a component might be.

I like this module but i need to show multiple banners in one position. Lots of sites working like that if you refresh the page then banner changes. Is this possible maybe next version?

Good for display any .swf files, it was good for my portfolio because I have used Flash in before and now I no not to use it ever again. TO HARD TO UPDATE!!!

I loaded this module and had it working in less then 5 min without issue. Easy to configure the parameters to your liking. Great and simple way to get flash into your site.

This module does as it says. Is very easy to "plug&play" and probably will take part on most of my joomlasites.

A great improvement for future versions is the ability to handle movies with "loadmovie" or "loadmovienum" commands. Actually the movie tries to find the movie at root instead of the same dir.

With this feature and the link one we can consider this module complete!

Thanks a lot!

I had this problem and resolved it by:
Setting the z-index of the menu css to a higher value.
eg. z-index: 999;
and the index of the flash element to a value of 0.
Then make sure the flash settings are set to “Opaque” or “Transparent” as the default “Window” will always ensure the flash is embedded at the highest z-index, which we don’t want in this case.

I love this module but there is a major problem as it is always in 'front' ...

I have some drop down menus and a search module with drop down results to a higher position and the banner is covering all of them so they are not visible.

Wish you could fix this in a future update ;)

It does what it says.
I am using it now on multiple websites.

Works fine if you would like to have your content played in a loop. The fix on line 111 only works for Firefox, IE7 still handles a loop.

Great mod, thanks!

The only negative thing would be that the animation wouldn't stop looping even though I selected "No" in the loop option.

There is a small bug in mod_flashmod.php in line 111:

Change

if ($fm_loop == 'false')

to

if ($fm_loop == 'no')

and it's done.

Works great! I had it installed and working in minutes. I like the fact that you can put it in a specific module location and the movie clip will start running without the user having to click on it. Would like to see some documentation for this extension, though.
