hello,
I would appreciate any help in getting my slideshow working in ie 6. I have take a look through the forums and haven't found anything related to the subject. my test page is at the following location:
http://homepage.mac.com/stephenjames716/Sites/ogh/index.html
it seems to work fine in all browsers except ie 6.0
thanks for the help,
steve
Steve,
I read through your source code; you are not using the most recent suggested way to call swfobject.
I would suggest the following (no promises, but my guess would be it'll help):
1) Use the most recent version of swfobject (get it at <a href="http://code.google.com/p/swfobject/">Google</a>).
2) Change your call to something like the following:
<code>
<div id="quotes">
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="491" height="328" id="viewport">
<param name="movie" value="../js/monoslideshow.swf" />
<param name="base" value="2008_8/" />
<param name="flashvars" value="showLogo=false" />
<!--[if !IE]>-->
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="../js/monoslideshow.swf" width="491" height="328">
<param name="base" value="2008_8/" />
<param name="flashvars" value="showLogo=false" />
<!--<![endif]-->
<h1>Sorry!</h1><p>You need an up to date <a href="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer">Flashplayer</a> and Javascript.</p>
<!--[if !IE]>-->
</object>
<!--<![endif]-->
</object>
</div><!--quotes-->
</code>
where you change paths etc. according to your need (you seem to have everything in one directory, then you don't need the "base" parameter at all).
Let us know if it has helped,
Christoph
hello christoph,
thank you for your time and information. I swapped out my code with yours and now I don't see the quotes in safari (just shows as a white box) and with firefox and opera it tells me (Sorry!
You need an up to date Flashplayer and Javascript.) I haven't tested it in IE yet, but do you know why this would not work in these browsers after the change? Did I do something wrong?
I have updated the site with the new code.
Thank you,
Steve
Steve,
thank you for faithfully copying my code and not changing anything but height and width - that cannot work!
Try:
<code>
<div id="quotes">
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="135" height="363" id="viewport">
<param name="movie" value="monoslideshow.swf" />
<param name="flashvars" value="showLogo=false" />
<!--[if !IE]>-->
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="monoslideshow.swf" width="135" height="363">
<param name="flashvars" value="showLogo=false" />
<!--<![endif]-->
<h1>Sorry!</h1><p>You need an up to date <a href="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer">Flashplayer</a> and Javascript.</p>
<!--[if !IE]>-->
</object>
<!--<![endif]-->
</object>
</div><!--quotes-->
</code>
This should do the job.
Christoph
thank you for your continued help! I applied the new code and it looks to be working good in safari and firefox on my mac. with ie 7.0 the rotating quotes show up, but with ie 6.0 the error message shows up "sorry, you need an up to date flash player and javascript."
one thing though. now when I open up the .html file in dreamweaver I get the following error:
this page contains <object> tags that may not work properly in the most recent versions of internet explorer. dreamweaver cannot convert these <object> tages.
should I be concerned with this?
thank you,
steve
No, Dreamweaver (depending on the version) has its own ideas of how to implement Flash. Do not do what Dreamweaver tells you to do.
In CS4, Adobe adopts swfobject as the "official" way to call Flash.
Christoph
thank you christoph,
can anyone please try out my slideshow in ie 6.0? I am using browser shots and am not 100% sure it is working correctly.
I would appreciate anyone's help.
thanks,
steve
Hi!
works fine here... IE6 WinXP Sp2
regards, j
May I recommend <a href="http://positioniseverything.net/articles/multiIE.html">Taming your multiple IE Standalones</a>?
This really helps when it comes to testing.
Christoph
thanks christoph...but I only have a mac here at work. I appreciate it though.
<strong>Hi there.</strong>
I am using Monoslideshow (/www.monoslideshow.com) on the front page, which conflicts with RokSlide in IE6 and 7 only. The monoslideshow works great on Mozilla Firefox. I have a slick Flickr feed going and am totally happy with it, but have not figured out what to do next in order to address the IE issue. I assume it's has most likely to do with Java scripts?
Do you have any suggestions?
Regards, Henrik
...at least in IE8 everything looks fine again.
I looked at your source code, but honestly there were too many nested divs and whatever to make sense out of it in a few minutes. What confused me, though, was that you seem to call MSS twice, once with a call of so.write("mssHolder") which id is not to be seen anywhere else in your code - maybe your js does insert it somewhere; I really don't know.
Is that on purpuse or some leftover from testing?
Christoph
double call for the mssHolder -
Let me look into that, Christoph.
I am using a template developed for Joomla by Rockettheme, by the way. Yes there are many divs.....
Glad it works in 8....... "-) Thanks for the fast reply. Henrik
hello christoph!...I hope you are still around because I really could use your help again :)
I am looking to start my slideshow off with the following color: FDF9DC
I am using your code above as it works great, but I can't seem to figure out how to change the color from FFFFFF to FDF9DC.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Steve
Well, here I am - but I don't understand your question. Do you talk about background color, the color of the first slide, border color?
Christoph
Hello Christoph!
Thanks for your quick reply. If you take a look at my site here:
http://homepage.mac.com/stephenjames716/Sites/ogh/index.html
The div container where the slideshow is located starts off with a white background, and then the slideshow starts with the quotes showing.
I would like to have the background never appear as white, but rather the FDF9DC color.
Thank you!
Steve
Steve,
at least in Firefox there is no white background, but in IE8 I could see it. I tried to find a background-property in your css, but was not successful. Have you tried assigning the beige color directly to the div?
You can also try to assign a transparent background to the Flash movie with
<code>so.addParam("wmode", "opaque");</code>or<code>so.addParam("wmode", "transparent");</code> (both are worth a try). Don't forget to add this line twice for IE and the rest of the world.
Christoph
Hello Christoph,
Thank you for your reply. I have tried to set a background color directly to the div, and also to the flash attribute in the properties section in dreamweaver.
Please forgive me as I am not quite sure where to try to add those functions. Here is the script that I am using:
<div id="quotes">
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="363" height="135" id="viewport">
<param name="movie" value="monoslideshow.swf" />
<param name="flashvars" value="showLogo=false" />
<!--[if !IE]>-->
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="monoslideshow.swf" width="363" height="135">
<param name="flashvars" value="showLogo=false" /><param name="BGCOLOR" value="#FDF9DC" />
<!--<![endif]-->
Sorry!<p>You need an up to date <a href="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer">Flashplayer</a> and Javascript to view this section.</p>
<!--[if !IE]>-->
</object>
<!--<![endif]-->
</object></div><!--quotes--></div>
Thanks,
Steve
Steve,
try either<code><param name="wmode" value="opaque" /></code>or <code><param name="flashvars" value="wmode=opaque" /></code>I think the first one is the correct one; unfortunately I can't try myself right now.
Christoph
Christoph, thank you for your quick replies. I have tried swapping out your new suggestions and unfortunately the white is still there, and the monoslideshow icon shows up.
Would <param name="BGCOLOR" value="#FDF9DC" /> have anything to do with it? The # number after value is what I would like to have show up from the beginning, but it is still showing white in safari (and most likely ie as well)
Thank you!
Steve
Stephen,
I got no idea, but it's worth a try.
Christoph
I appreciate your time and effort christophvl.
After struggling with MonoSlideShow for months now, I have finally gotten the "Operation Aborted in IE6/7" error RESOLVED. I originally just took the slide show off my pages because of this error. 81% of the traffic to my site is still IE 6 or 7 and it was a disaster. The show (and site) work GREAT when viewed with Safari and/or Firefox. IE was my only problem...
But honestly, I can't take credit. I asked my son and one of his friends to help me and they were able to create a programming patch that resolved the situation. You can see the show in operation at <a href="http://www.RiniFamily.com">www.RiniFamily.com</a>. I wish I could explain what they did to make it work, but I can't. It goes beyond me. But, Justin (my son's friend), said he would be willing to help others if they are having the same problem. He's in school and has a small 'computer help' company that helps him pay his bills... He can be reached by email by <a href="mailto: [email protected]">clicking here.</a> if you need help. Good luck all.
P.S. I also use the show on a site I manage for my daughters school: <a href="http://www.marcusmarquettes.com">www.MarcusMarquettes.com</a>
Good luck!
Sam
