Any ideas why my slide show would be generating this error: "Internet Explorer cannot open the internet site http://www.joncowan.com/test/. Operation aborted" in IE7?
The page loads fine in Firefox and Safari.
I'm not doing anything fancy in the HTML, so I'm stumped.

Hi
I'm seeing the same problem now and then. Sometimes it works and other times it does not. I really need this to work for IE7.
Please help us with this issue.
got the same problem.
Same issue here. I embedded the slideshow in Joomla 1.0.12 and it works fine in Firefox - IE7 presents the "Operation aborted" error listed above. I've run into the same issue with other Flash slideshows. I used to think it had something to do with a site being served through https, but that's not the issue. Damn you Microsoft!
*By the way, full instructions for embedding in Joomla are available on the Rockettheme.com website under the forum for the newest template, "BentoBox". You must be a paid member, of course, to access the content.
I was heavily considering purchasing monoslideshow, but this has me worried. I tried a demo site with monoslideshow in IE, and I got the same message. Let me know when this is fixed.
Since the crack team at monoslideshow are all over this, let me be the one to reveal that monoslideshow and slimbox are incompatible.
I'm really stumped by the IE7 Flash problem. As are many other users if I google around a little. It seems it's really a bug of IE7. And the only solution seems to reinstall Flash...
Monoslideshow is just a regular Flash file, and sadly there's nothing I could do on my end to make it work on some of the IE7-installs. Most of the time it works fine in IE7 though.
RTL: What's Slimbox?
creator of MonoslideshowYes, very odd.
IE7 gives me fits. It could have to do with IE7 toolbars and plugs, or with security?
FWIW, the demo page above
http://www.joncowan.com/test
works fine on my IE7 Win 2003 server. 7.0.5730.11
BTW Slimbox (relying on memory here) is one of the lightbox widgets out there. "slim" due to the size of the JS payload.
Ok Guys
I've discovered that using <a href="http://www.bobbyvandersluis.com/ufo/">UFO</a> instead of SWFOBJECT has fixed my issue with "Operation Aborted" in IE7
Here is some sample code I used to get UFO up and running.
In the head section I call the ufo.js
<code><script type="text/javascript" src="/js/ufo.js"></script></code>
And in the body of the html
<code><script type="text/javascript">
var FO = { movie:"/slideshow/monoslideshow.swf", width:"454", height:"582", base:"/stories/slideshow", flashvars:"dataFile=test.xml", majorversion:"6", build:"40" };
UFO.create(FO, "test1");
</script>
<div id="test1">
<p><strong>Please install Flash 7 or above and turn on Javascript.</strong></p>
</div></code>
I used this flashvars:"dataFile=test.xml" to point to a different xml file for using multiple slideshows on the one page. So if I had another slide show I'd use flashvars:"dataFile=test2.xml"
Wasca, could you help me try and get this error fixed, it's the exact same error that I am having. Here's my base module code, how do I alter it to make use of your fix?
<code><code><div>
<script type="text/javascript" src="monoslideshow/swfobject.js"></script>
<div id="monoSlideshow">
<p><strong>Please install Flash and turn on Javascript.</strong></p>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
// <![CDATA[
var so = new SWFObject("monoslideshow/monoslideshow.swf", "SOmonoSlideshow", "430", "240", "0", "#1f1f1f");
so.addParam("base", "monoslideshow/");
so.write("monoSlideshow");
// ]]>
</script>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
var so = new SWFObject("monoslideshow.swf", "mss", 790, 400, "7", "#ffffff");
so.addVariable("showLogo", "false");
so.write("mssHolder");
</script></code></code>
<script type="text/javascript">
var FO = { movie:"/monoslideshow/monoslideshow.swf", width:"454", height:"582", base:"/monoslideshow", flashvars:"dataFile=/monoslideshow/monoslideshow.xml", majorversion:"6", build:"40" };
UFO.create(FO, "monoslideshow");
</script>
<div id="monoSlideshow">
<p><strong>Please install Flash 7 or above and turn on Javascript.</strong></p>
</div>
didn't show anything for me, I am sure I am tying it wrong?
<a title="Okinawa Japan" href="http://www.johnburgreen.com/">Okinawa Japan</a>
Hi Forsh
Did you download the ufo.js file and add this line in your header of your web page?
<code><script type="text/javascript" src="/js/ufo.js"></script></code>
Obviously you would change the path to where you placed the ufo.js file
I also noticed you used "monoslideshow" in this line.
<code>UFO.create(FO, "monoslideshow");</code>
and monoSlideshow in the div id
<code><div id="monoSlideshow"></code>
You need to make sure it's the same name. e.g.
<code>UFO.create(FO, "monoSlideshow");
<div id="monoSlideshow"></code>
Please forgive me if this is answered elsewhere, but is this problem only happening on Joomla sites?
Has anyone else had success using Wasca's UFO fix? I too am getting the "Operation Aborted" error in IE7 and on two seperate computers. I was hoping to hear that this fix had worked for others before I take the time to hack through it. (I say hack because I am fairly new to this--hack is appropriate.) Any further comments or suggestions Monokai on the problem and this as a fix?
Thanks in advance. Monoslideshow is a totally cool app.
I'm afraid the UFO fix didn't do it for me but I'm not confident I know what I'm doing. What puzzles me is how I have slideshows working fine on several sites - but some show this error - and only occasionally - it's really frustrating and I have no other solution but to pull the slideshow - please any help here?
I'm getting the error on three different computers with IE7 on both my site with monoslideshow and this monoslideshow site, but not other flash sites. Any ideas? I don't want to have to use Slideshowpro because I really love the Ken Burns effect. Any ideas Monokai? Or anyone?
This is a real bum, hope it can be fixed - I'd hate to stop using momo.
I really don't know what's causing this. Mostly it works fine on IE7. As I said before, Monoslideshow is just a regular Flash .swf file, nothing strange about that. It really seems somehow some installs of IE7 prevent Flash files from showing. Maybe you can take a look on the SWFObject forum for fixes. I've found this trouble shooting post:
http://blog.deconcept.com/swfobject/forum/discussion/2/swfobject-faq/#Item_0
And here's some more info:
http://blog.deconcept.com/2006/12/08/corrupt-flash-player-install-after-ie-7-upgrade/
creator of MonoslideshowHey Monokai, is this any help? http://www.adobe.com/devnet/activecontent/articles/devletter.html
Just run into this problem with IE7.
Any resolution??
?Just love MonoSlide but if it doesn't consistently work with IE7 my client won't have it :-(
Add a defer to your script and test again.
<code><script type="text/javascript" src="/AM/Concepts/Flash_Objects/monoslideshowstart.js" defer="true"></script></code>
I've implemented both solutions (UFO.js and the defer statement - see below) and MSS now works flawlessly.
<script src="/monoslideshow/ufo.js" type="text/javascript" ></script>
<script defer="true">var FO = { movie:"/monoslideshow/monoslideshow.swf", width:"545", height:"225", base:"/monoslideshow", flashvars:"dataFile=/monoslideshow/monoslideshow.xml", majorversion:"6", build:"40" };
UFO.create(FO, "monoslideshow");
</script>
<div id="monoslideshow">
<p><strong>Please install Flash 7 or above and turn on Javascript.</strong></p>
</div>
The only question I have now is what is the syntax and location within the script to disable showInfo and showLogo?
TIA.
Hey guys,
We ran into this problem last week, this article pretty much summed it up nicely... straight from the source. Oh, and even MS says it's a BUG so it will likely be fixed soon.
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/927917
Cheers,
Yeah, but there's no telling when Microsoft will get to it. IE7 is so buggy, I'm sure they have their hands full ;)
Anyway, does anyone know what the syntax would be to replicate the showLogo and showVersionInfo to false with UFO? Or is there a hack within the monoslideshow flash file to remove it the hard way?

Can you tell me how to impliment this code into my page. I have used a content page and attached it to a text feild within it under a news flash item then placed that new flash item on the front page with some success. I just noticed that I too was having the issue with the program loading the xml in IE7 and tried all of the solutions and now my firefox is screwed up on top of everything else.
Any solutions will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
JM
Try flashvars:"dataFile=/path/to/xml&showLogo=false&showVersionInfo=false" for multiple variables with UFO.
bwhinnen - Thank you. You have helped me complete the last piece of the puzzle and have given me an opening for other changes I may have to implement in the future.
paycheque -
<li>1-Download the ufo.js file from http://www.bobbyvandersluis.com/ufo/</li>
<li>2-Via ftp, upload the ufo.js file to your monoslideshow folder where you find the swfobject.js file</li>
<li>3-implement the code in my previous post </li>
<li>4-and you are done
If downloaded and uploaded the ufo.js to the same folder where I have the sfwobject.js file. But still I can not get monoslide up and running.
CODE:
<script src="/monoslideshow/html/ufo.js" type="text/javascript" ></script>
<script defer="true">var FO = { movie:"/monoslideshow/html/monoslideshow.swf", width:"500", height:"200", base:"/monoslideshow/html/", flashvars:"dataFile=/monoslideshow/html/monoslideshow.xml", majorversion:"6", build:"40" };
UFO.create(FO, "monoslideshow");
</script>
<div id="monoslideshow">
<p><strong>Please install Flash 7 or above and turn on Javascript.</strong></p>
</div>
What am I doing wrong?
this problem occur when you have slimbox/lightbox/thickbox enable in a page, and also in joomla try to disable all mootools.js that is loaded in your page. and see if this error still occurs.
I am using the Joomla Vortex theme from Rockettheme. Had the monoslideshow working in FF, but not in IE6 or IE7.
Thanks to above thread and others, I removed all the other mootools.js lines in the theme index and used this code to call monoslide...
<code><script src="/monoslideshow/ufo.js" type="text/javascript">
</script>
<script defer="true">
var FO = { movie:"/monoslideshow/monoslideshow.swf", width:"565", height:"250", base:"/monoslideshow/", flashvars:"dataFile=/monoslideshow/monoslideshow.xml&showLogo=false&showVersionInfo=false&wmode=transparent", majorversion:"6", build:"40" };
UFO.create(FO, "monoslideshow");
</script>
<div id="monoslideshow">
<p>
<b>Please install Flash 7 or above and turn on Javascript.</b>
</p>
</div></code>
...and it works in FF and IE...horray!!!! ....except... the DHTML? menu is behind the flash monoslide. I had been using wmode="transparent" in previous code; but including the wmode command in this line doesn't seem to work
<code>
flashvars:"dataFile=/monoslideshow/monoslideshow.xml&showLogo=false&showVersionInfo=false&wmode=transparent", majorversion:"6", build:"40" };
</code>
Really grateful for any pointers to the problem with the wmode command.
thanks, J
Cracked the wmode problem. Had the wmode command in the wrong place!
Here is the full code in case this helps someone else
<code>
<script src="/monoslideshow/ufo.js" type="text/javascript">
</script>
<script defer="true">
var FO = { movie:"/monoslideshow/monoslideshow.swf", width:"565", height:"250", base:"/monoslideshow/",
flashvars:"dataFile=/monoslideshow/monoslideshow.xml&showLogo=false&showVersionInfo=false",
majorversion:"6", build:"40" , wmode:"transparent"};
UFO.create(FO, "monoslideshow");

<div id="monoslideshow">

Hi Joomla guys,
I was struggling with the same problem for days with this operation aborted stuff ... I'm not a web developer ... just a beginner trying to get my website up and running ... and this was my solution for this IE bug ...
I tried mod_html, and ufo instead of swfobject, ... and none worked for me ... The only one the kind of worked was embed a flash object in a custom module ... but this module would be placed right below a DHTML menu, and it sucks to have to activate the flash to click on the menu ... So ...
Researching I found a .NET developer that said the problem is because you can't append to the BODY element from script that isn't a direct child to the BODY element. (I'm not 100% sure what that means) and his solution was to move your js code to the top or bottom of the body, because you cannot have your code to load inline while the page is being parsed ....
As this solution didn't appear to work for me ... using Joomla (because I don't know if I can do that) I used the Wrapper module getting one of the index.html that came with MSS package that I customized for what I wanted, and set a css class for the div with top:0 left:0 padding-left:0.
Again ... I don't know if this is the best solution ... but was the only one for me ... a full-time beginner ...
Hope that helps ...
Worked for me in osCommerce. FF was ok, but IE randomly showed "operation aborted". Problem solved, after moving all javascripts out of BODY.
i was having this problem also trying to use MSS on a PHP file for a Joomla template.
UFO and JS outside the <body> did the trick. thanks guys!

I found this page by Googling the issue. I experienced it with the FlashJavascript package with Adobe. I was trying to run an AS function in JS and IE6 and IE7 were crashing in the manner described above. The M$ article quoted above solved the issue for me. Basically, I ensured all relevant DIVs were closed, and placed the script in before my </body> tag. This solved the issue for me. I don't know what mono-slideshow is, so I'm not sure if this is applicable for all. Good luck.
Does anyone have a fix for this
I have tried everything listed and still get errors in IE7 when usng MSS with Joomla (catalyst template by rockettheme)
the forum over at RT has no answers
and the link above to the UFO file is no longer valid
I need some help as my site is 99.9% complete except for this slideshow which is a focal point of the site
HI. above there's a link to Microsoft's site the answer is there. Amazing enough that there is to do is put the script section in a different div tag. Here's what I did to get mine working in IE7
<code>
<div id="monoslideshow">
<p><strong>Please install Flash 7 or above and turn on Javascript.</strong></p>
</div>
<div>
<script src="/monoslideshow/ufo.js" type="text/javascript" ></script>
<script defer="true">var FO = { movie:"/monoslideshow/monoslideshow.swf", width:"545", height:"225", base:"/monoslideshow", flashvars:"dataFile=/monoslideshow/monoslideshow.xml", majorversion:"6", build:"40" };
UFO.create(FO, "monoslideshow");
</script>
</div>
</code>
I hope this helps
Great i started same thread before but no one replied.
Is this only because Swfobject or is it in combination with Mootools?
The majority of my sites are Joomla based. I had implemented monoslideshow on one site and it checked out perfectly in IE7. A few days later, the "Operation Aborted" message popped up. I tried the defer="true" and defer="defer" to see if that would fix the problem, but no luck. It turned out that I had added another module that was also using javascript. SWFObject and it were conflicting. I checked out the UFO solution above and found that it is now deprecated and SWFObject 2.0 should be used. I implemented it and the error is gone. I did not have to remove mootools.js nor did I have to move anything out of the body area.
<code>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/plugins/content/slideshow/swfobject.js"></script>
<div id="ms2"><b>Please install Flash and turn on Javascript.</b></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
var flashvars = { dataFile: "/plugins/content/slideshow/monoslideshow.xml", showVersionInfo: "false"};
var params = { base: "/plugins/content/slideshow", wmode: "transparent" };
var attributes = {};
swfobject.embedSWF("plugins/content/slideshow/monoslideshow.swf", "ms2", "288", "216", "9.0.0", "", flashvars, params, attributes);
</script>
</code>
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!

This page, well a certain line (put the .js at the bottom of the page) fixed it for me, though the page does seem to take longer to load in IE7. Anyway at least the page loads without "Operation Aborted".
<script type="text/javascript" src="modules/mod_cbuserlist/tmpl/wz_tooltip.js"></script>
</body>

Hope this helps somebody!
EASY SOLUTION!!!!!
use jquery!
jQuery(document).ready(function(){
// <![CDATA[
var so = new SWFObject("slideshow/monoslideshow.swf", "SOmonoSlideshow", "840", "325", "7", "#ffffff");
so.addVariable("dataFile", "slideshow/slideshow.xml");
so.write("monoSlideshow");
// ]]>
});
i used it for my client projects, it'll work
I really think you are missing something. Straightforward swfobject.js does it for me as for many others in all browsers - everything else seems like overkill to me.

I tried vicious7's method and it worked fine on my Joomla 1.5 test page. I couldn't make Monoslideshow work on IE7 and SWFObject 2.0 didn't work for me (it is UFO's successor). So I used "old' UFO v3.22 with the code supplied and it did the trick. vicious7, thank you very much!
The only thing I cannot overcome now is how to get rid of the logo and version in the module. When I use
so.addVariable("dataFile", "engagements.xml");
so.addVariable("showVersionInfo", "false");
so.addVariable("showLogo", "false");
stuff, it doesn't work - I get an error about lacking 'so' definition while the logo still show up... :)
Here is what I have included in the html module of my Joomla 1.5 installation:
<script src="/monoslideshow/ufo.js" type="text/javascript" ></script>
<script defer="true">var FO = { movie:"/monoslideshow/monoslideshow.swf", width:"640", height:"250", base:"/monoslideshow", flashvars:"dataFile=/monoslideshow/monoslideshow.xml", majorversion:"6", build:"40" };
UFO.create(FO, "monoslideshow");
</script>
<div id="monoslideshow">
<p><strong>Please install Flash 7 or above and turn on Javascript.</strong></p>
</div>
Any hints how to do it? I only assume that since the script calls to UFO, it needs some other way out. I think I may be wrong as I am not an expert on java stuff...
