Re: [support] Flash objects within a module

I know how you set it up WITHOUT SWFtools / SWFObject2, but that might not be the answer you are looking for:

Views->theme field [op populate value from variables]:

<script type="text/javascript">swfobject.embedSWF("<?php print trim($output;) ?>", "replaceSWF", "720", "640", "10.0.0"); </script> <div id="replaceSWF" class="swftools swfobject2"> </div>

this assumes you are loading swfobject.js, size would obviously need to be configured/altered; and the content of the div you want to show if the swf is not loaded [and before load is done]

Hi,

I’m trying to add a Flash object to an existing module.

I’ve tried a couple of ways without success.

I’ve created a module.

I have SWFTool with SWFObject2 enabled

Using JS as per this

$(document).ready(*function*(){

*var* flashtags = $('<div>[swf file="http://XXX/sites/all/modules/flashtags/flash/flashtags.swf"]</div>').appendTo('#privatemsg-new').get(0);

*if* (Drupal.jsEnabled) {

  Drupal.attachBehaviors(flashtags);

}

});

By doing that I end up with this printed at the bottom of the form

[swf file="http://XXX/sites/all/modules/flashtags/flash/flashtags.swf"]

But no Flash object.

I tried this approach…

function privatemsg_form_alter(&$form, $form_state, $form_id) {

$vars['swf_tags'] = swf("http://XXX/sites/all/modules/flashtags/flash/flashtags.swf",

array('width' => '420', 'height' => '140', 'bgcolor' => '#336699'), FALSE,

array('html_alt' => 'Name of site if flash is disabled.')

);

if ($form_id == 'privatemsg_new' && user_access('create flashtags')) {

$form['privatemsg']['flashtags'] = array(

    '#type' => 'fieldset',

    '#access' => user_access('create flashtags'),

    '#title' => t('Flash Tags'),

    '#collapsible' => FALSE,

    '#collapsed' => empty($form['#privatemsg_message']['flashtags']),

    '#description' => t('Flashtags are used to add a context to a 

message and only viewable by the sender.'),

    '#prefix' => '<div class="flashtags">',

    *'#value' => print $swf_tags,***

    '#suffix' => '</div>',

    '#weight' => 1,

);

}

}

Obviously I’m missing something in understanding how to make that work. It’s creating a field set on the form but no Flash object. Value is unlikely to be the right name. I’m not sure what this should be.

Anyone got some clues for me on this?
