swfobject 2.2 Compltetely fails when no flash player is installed #398

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. deinstall flash player
2. call swfobject.embedSWF("URL", "id", "500", "200". "9.0.0", "ei.swf")

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The expected output is a working object. What i get is just a div: (!)
<div id="id" style="height: 500px;"> </div>
pretty wrong, eh? 500 HEIHT, not width what it shoould be. and no height.
there's a little bug inside the setting of styles.
By the way, the expressinstall doesnt fire if NO flashplayer is installed…

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
2.2 Using it on MAC OS (Works, cuz Flashplayer is installed)
VM-WIndows without Flash Player plugin (i just get a far too high white div
container).

Express Install is not designed to work when the user has no flash player 
installed. 
Read up on the Adobe docs which state it will only work for users with 6.0.65+

I cannot reproduce your error. When I disable the plug-in completely for 
windows in 
FF3 / IE8, the generated code I get with Firebug / IE Dev toolbar / view 
generated 
source from our standard test suite page ( 
http://www.bobbyvandersluis.com/swfobject/testsuite_2_2/test_dynamic.html ) is:

<div id="myContent" style="visibility: visible;">
<h1>Alternative content</h1>
<p><a href="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer"><img alt="Get Adobe Flash 
player" 
src="http://www.adobe.com/images/shared/download_buttons/get_flash_player.gif"/>
</a><
/p>
</div>

Which is exactly as it should be. With all releases, we run a thorough range of 
tests 
with all supported browsers on PC / Mac / *nix...

What methodology are you using to get to the generated source?

As Aran said, Express Install is not designed to work when Flash Player is not 
installed.

Since yummieee has not responded to Aran's comment, I'm closing this issue.
