SWFobject module ModuleLanguage

With this module you can use the syntax of the SWFObject script to insert a Flash object inside a module in Joomla 1.5, 1.6, 1.7, and 2.5. leaving the HTML code clean and validated.

SWFObject is an easy-to-use and standards-friendly method to embed Flash content, which utilizes one small JavaScript file.
This module includes version 2.2 of SWFobject.
It's compatible with all browsers, so you no longer have to go crazy distinguishing code for each one.

Collaboration
If you want help with the translation into your language just send me the en-GB.mod_swfobject.ini file translated, indicating the language. I'll add it to the next update.

This module works like a charm! Although I hope there's a way to resize or remove the gray box which is wider than my flash width size. Please let me know if you're able to fix this. THanks

Congratulations for the great work, but can you explain about how to center the swf object in the template position? I have tried google and documentation but not found any about this. Gratefull!

Great Module but no alt image

The module works extremely well and is very easy to use (Joomla 1.6). The only limitation is that you cannot have an alternative image populate the image space if Flash is not enabled on the user end, just text.
Owner's reply

hi, martinrandal,
in the alternative content you can put all the html you need, even images.

thanks for your review and good luck!

Works well with Flash+XML for IE, Chrome, Safari, but not FireFox!

After some puzzling I got this module to work with a Flash file that uses an XML file to load text and Images. Unfortunately it is not documented in the modules limited docs, but you have to pass the XMLURL variable in the file's name variable:
yourswfpath.swf?XMLURL=yourxmlpath.xml

Also keep in mind that the path in your xml file to the image locations need to be resolvable by joomla!

After this I got it working for Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Apple Safari. Unfortunately FireFox does not seem to be able to find the xml and is stuck in the 'loading cycle'. If this issue can be resolved I'd give the module a 5 star Rating!
Owner's reply

Hi, rowbird,

I would like to test your flash + xml + text + images...
because in order to show how to pass the xml file path as a parameter, making the module work properly

thanks for your review and for the 5 stars!
:D

would be a 5 star but..

After trying several other flash management extensions I found that this is the only one that works perfectly on firefox 3. Furthermore this was the only one extension that worked for my page.
Please update wiki!!

I wasn't able to test the module but I was so excited to find it only to realize that I cannot use it due to lack of documentation. Someone asked the exact same problem I'm having "where to get the id to fill in the parameters", and that was since march with no answer...I must add that i'm a beginner but I don't mind reading and learning where it's available. Please updtae wiki and answer to comments on documentation page... thank you for your hard work though....

I have tried this module with a header with flash and xml from flashxml.net, but it sadly doesnt work due to the fact that there isnt anay xml exporting into swf or any way to manipulate that in this module. maybe in the near future?
Owner's reply

hi, pauca!
of course there is way to communicate flash with xml, you just have to define your variables and make the appropriate calls...

Very convenient module

I've been wanting a Joomla SWFObject module just like this for a long time. Thanks!
Only SWF module that worked for me

I just wanted to put a SWF on my home page (an animated slideshow type of thing with some links), and wanted to reiterate some of the other reviews that this was the only SWF module that worked for me.
Thanks for a great exension!

After trying 3 other flash module extensions and not being able to get any of them to work I installed your extension and it worked right out of the box. A little CSS to position it in the header where I wanted the swf to play and I'm done :)
The test.swf you included was very good thinking too, as it allowed me to know as soon as I installed the extension that the module worked.
Great job!

Alternative content
2010-05-06
Reviews: 4
Good and simple module!
One note: It connects to adobe.com. Is that to get the button for installing flash-player?
I think options for alternative content would be great! I would prefer not to display the upgrade text and button, only the code I specify as alternative content!
Owner's reply

I feel very good your appreciation! in the next update will give the possibility to show the link to the adobe flash player if you choose. but for now you have the option of introducing alternative content in html.

thanks for your feed!

Just 1 module with swfobject per page?
2010-05-01
Reviews: 2
Great module, really simple to use!
By the way, just one module with swfobject per page is allowed?
Owner's reply

hi poastro!
thanks for your review, but it's allowed the number of modules you need per page.

I think you are using the same id at diferent modules, thats the reason of your question. remember each id must be unique per page...

good luck!
;)
