swfobject 2.2 fails on Firefox 3.5 beta #327

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Upgraded the my working 2.1 swfobject to 2.2.
2. swfobject_generator_1_2_html created the same code as used with the 2.1
release.
3. Drew the page in Firefox 3.5 beta.  Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT
6.0; en-US; rv:1.9.1) Gecko/20090615

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Expected to see same exact flash output as in 2.1.  Instead saw the flash
show up very briefly then go blank.  The working 2.1 version is found on
the http://jobbank.com front page.

When I look at the 2.2 output on IE 8.06, it looks fine.  When I back off
the same exact code back to the 2.1 version it also looks fine in the
FireFox 3.5 beta.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
2.2 on Windows Vista.

Please provide any additional information below.

SWFObject 2.2 works fine in Firefox 3.5.

What do you if you look at the test suite:
http://code.google.com/p/swfobject/wiki/test_suite

In any case you should move your SWFObject script blocks to the head of your 
HTML
file, and if this is not possible, move it to a point before where your object
element is inserted.

Will look at what you suggest, but if I just change my code from 2.1 in the 
code you
were looking at to 2.2, it fails.   Perhaps this is because of location, but it
didn't used to fail.

Thank you for your help and ideas on moving the code above.

I just placed the line below above the Flash code.

<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/swfobject/2.1/swfobject.js"></script>

As before, It worked for this 2.1 swfobject version.  When I just changed the 
number
2.1 to 2.2 above, it failed.  Again this only occurs in FireFox 3.5 version 
shown above.

To just test this in a different way and environment, I just did the single 
digit 2.1
to 2.2 change in production's http://jobbank.com and it failed exactly the same 
way.

Sorry for the trouble.  We can just stay on 2.1.  There are no JavaScript or 
other
errors shown.

And you the Flash moovies in the 2.2 test suite, are they displayed correctly?

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
It seems all of the test suit items may have run successfully.  I was not sure 
on one
of them, as I got the following message when a first element drew:

e.success = false
e.id = myId1
e.ref = undefined

at this link: 
http://www.bobbyvandersluis.com/swfobject/testsuite_2_2/test_multiple2.html

When I clicked OK, the next elements seemed to draw correctly.  This same 
message,
however, also appeared in the most recently patched IE.

RE: I got the following message when a first element drew

That's correct, because Flash 11 hasn't been released yet.

I think that in your web page your Flash is drawn correctly, however it's a CSS
redrawing issue in Firefox. In SWFObject 2.2 you can turn the default show/hide 
off:

swfobject.switchOffAutoHideShow()

Disable SWFObject's default show/hide behavior (SWFObject 2.2+). 

Ensure to call swfobject.switchOffAutoHideShow() after you have included the
SWFObject library, but before any swfobject.registerObject() or 
swfobject.embedSWF()
calls, like ( http://code.google.com/p/swfobject/wiki/api ):

<script type="text/javascript" src="swfobject.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
swfobject.switchOffAutoHideShow();
swfobject.registerObject("myId", "9.0.0", "expressInstall.swf");
</script>

If it then renders correctly, it's probably a Firefox redraw issue.

Also, if you have Firebug or the DOM inspector installed, you could check how 
the DOM
elements and dynamic styles are finally rendered. What's the object blurb look 
like
in here?

I experienced this same issue, adding switchOffAutoHideShow(); fixed the 
problem.

This is an issue with the -release- build of Firefox 3.5. Looks like SWFObject 
is gonna need another update...

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Well, it's a Firefox rendering issue to be precise and it sometimes occurs; it 
really
depends on the specific contents of your Web page. We will investigate if we can
force Firefox to redraw to workaround this.

Just an FYI, I am experiencing this issue with 2.2 and FF 3.0.7

and adding swfobject.switchOffAutoHideShow(); definitely fixed my issues in FF.

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Just as an aside, we've been discussing this issue in SWFObject forums; one 
thing
that I noticed during my tests is that using the switchOffAutoHideShow() method 
is
not necessary if all the SWFObject code is in the head of the document.  This 
implies
that there might be some rendering/race condition that can be prevented by 
wrapping
the SWFObject calls in another type of domready event.  But pushing code that 
didn't
work for FF3.5 into the head definitely cures the issue (at least for me)

We were also getting this 2.2 problem with FF 3.0.6 and FF on OSX - with the 
script 
link in the body, even before the content, nothing rendered. Needed 
AutoHideShow, so 
went back to 2.1 and now works fine.

I am seeing errors in FireFox 3.5.2.

Firebug is showing this error:
Error calling method on NPObject!
[Break on this error] var swfobject=function(){var
D="undefine...lay="block"}}if(E){E(B)}}a=false}}}}();\n

Seeing this same error with the test documents provided in the download.

I had the same problem in both Safari and Firefox. 

I loaded the swfobject.js file dynamically using ajax, (after pageload). When 
the .js file is loaded I activate SWF 
object (registerObject).

Without swfobject.switchOffAutoHideShow() I see nothing (or a short flash of 
content). Adding 
swfobject.switchOffAutoHideShow() before registerObject fixed  the problem.

Since dynamic loading of javascript libraries is quite common it would be nice 
to have swfobject working in 
these kinds of contexts.

I've been having problems with FireFox 3. Whenever I choose the width and 
height to
be 100% it simply doesn't display. It works fine in Safari.

I've also notice in my testing that the client callback function is never 
invoked 
when using static publishing on Firefox 3.5. Dynamic publishing seems to work 
just 
fine though. So for my intents, swfobject.switchOffAutoHideShow() fixes half of 
the 
issue, is there something in the API that can resolve the client callback issue?

Thanks, Bobby!

I have the same problem, I cannot see any Flash when I use Static or Dynamic
Plublishing using the SWFObject 2 AIR Generator.

I tried adding the swfobject.switchOffAutoHideShow() code but it did not work.

The strange thing is that I see the Flash fine when I test locally but only 
don't see
it when its online. Any ideas?

I'm using Firefox 3.5.3 Mac

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
If anyone's sites have stopped working recently, it is due to a Flash player 
upgrade on 
your own machine (most likely a corruption of the flash player during the 
upgrade 
process). It has nothing to do with SWFObject as the code has not changed!

fine in safari, but not firefox.  i am on a MAC also, not sure if that matter.  
my

really
hoping to get away from that :(

I have found that Firefox does not like it if you use percentage height or 
width in
the swfobject.embedSWF() call.

This works:
swfobject.embedSWF( "movie.swf", "container", "200", "200", "9.0.0");

While this doesn't:
swfobject.embedSWF( "movie.swf", "container", "100%", "100%", "9.0.0");

@#33 - read the FAQ page entry #1 - reading the documentation before posting a

report is really a good idea.

This may be relevant. Or maybe it's a new bug. Please let me know if you'd like 
me to
post it as such.

I found that when creating a simple TextField in a SWF, it would sometimes 
resize
itself to 100 x 100 (the default size of a textfield) after I refreshed the 
page. (It
looked fine on initial load.) This was occurring in FF both on mac and windows, 
as
well as in IE 8.

When I removed stage.stageWidth and stage.stageHeight (I had been setting the 
size of
the textfield relative to those two) and instead designated pixels, the problem 
went
away.

Having the same problems as everyone else, it appears, and 
swfobject.switchOffAutoHideShow() does not work.  
There's just no effect at all.  Using Firebug, it appears that the object 
exists -- replacement is happening 
correctly -- but is 0 pixels wide, 16 pixels tall.

Ran the test at 
http://www.bobbyvandersluis.com/swfobject/testsuite_2_2/test_dynamic2.html, 
which produces 
correct output in Safari, but in Firefox it calls the callback (success=true) 
and produces no visible output.

This is Mac OS X, 10.6.2, Firefox 3.5.5, SWFObject 2.2.

Fixed it. The Google generator adds a generic div around the objects. I added 
an ID
and gave it a width and height of 100% and also defined the html, body with the 
same
width and height of 100%. Now it shows up in Firefox on Mac.

I had the same problem: with FF 3.5 and swfobject 2.1 it worked, but with 2.2 I
didn't see anything. My solution is: wrap the call to swfobject.embedSWF like 
this:

swfobject.addLoadEvent(function(){swfobject.embedSWF(...);});

I was having this problem also, in Windows XP on FF 3.5.7 (and one earlier) and 
FP
10.0.45.2 (and the version before). I fixed it by swf-embedding from the 
body-onload. 

But since i was the only guy at the office experiencing this issue (on the same
configuration as my colleagues) i guessed it was a specific setting of my 
machine.
(we couldnt reproduce this on their machines so we didn't want to push the fix 
to our
codebase just yet).

One of the things i tried was disabling all my Add-Ons (standard stuff like 
Firebug,
Webdevelopper, Persona's and some other stuff.. and the swfobject/flash worked
perfectly! So i started enabling them again, one at a time until it broke again 
so i
could isolate the offending addon.

The culprit in my case was a screenshot Add-On (that seemed to interfere with 
the way
FireFox renders the page). Now i have all addons enabled again, except both
screenshot utilities (Screengrabber and another).

Im not sure if this is a FF or Addon bug, but maybe it saves you guys 
headaches.
