Creating a Valid W3C Flash module for RavenNuke 2.5+

Posted: Mon Jul 23, 2012 12:35 pm

Hi everybody!

I was checking out some html Flash modules I made long time ago. When I was validating the module I found out embed was not supporting anymore and I got warning which I solved inmediatetly.

Question: What should be the best way to make Flash module?

Examples of my module
index.php (not validated)

Code:

<html>


<head>


   <title>Flash Calculator</title>


</head>





<body bgcolor="#ffffff">





<div align="center" valign="top">


<br /><a href="http://www.bestbuildpc.org"><font size="4"><strong>Flash Calculator</strong></font></a>


<br />


<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,0,0" width="300" height="400" id="overclock" align="middle"> 


<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="calculator_00" /> 


<param name="movie" value="modules/Calculator/images/calculator_00.swf" /> 


<param name="quality" value="high" /> 


<param name="bgcolor" value="#eceded" /> 


<embed src="modules/Calculator/images/calculator_00.swf" quality="high" bgcolor="#eceded" width="300" height="400" name="Calculator" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="calculator_00" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" /> 


</object>


<br />


<br />


</strong></font></div>








</body>


</html>

index.html ( I made it simple and validated) I would like to see more examples or better ways to make it.

Code:

<div align="center">


<br /><a href="http://www.yoursite.com"><strong>Flash Calculator</strong></a>


<br />


<br />


<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash"


data="modules/Calculator/images/calculator_00.swf"


width="400" height="500">


<param name="movie" value="modules/Calculator/images/calculator_00.swf" />


<param name="quality" value="high"/>


<param name="wmode" value="transparent"/>


</object>


<br />


<br />


</div>

Note: You can see embed is not use any more. We use data. What do you think about it guys.

index.php to call the html

Code:

<?php





/**********************************/


/*  Module Configuration          */


/* (right side on) v3.1           */


/* Remove the following line      */


/* will remove the right side     */


/**********************************/


define('INDEX_FILE', true);


$index = 1; 





include("header.php");


OpenTable();


include ("index.html");


CloseTable(); 


include("footer.php");

I do know iphone can not read flash but is there another way to make it so it is compatible with Mac OS? Shocked

Why don't you write the content of the index.html in the index.php?

Code:

echo '<div class="text-center">'


   . '   <br />'


   . '   <a href="http://www.yoursite.com"><span class="thick">Flash Calculator</span></a>'


   . '   <br />'


   . '   <br />'


   . '   <object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="modules/Calculator/images/calculator_00.swf" width="400" height="500">'


   . '      <param name="movie" value="modules/Calculator/images/calculator_00.swf" />'


   . '      <param name="quality" value="high" />'


   . '      <param name="wmode" value="transparent" />'


   . '   </object>'


   . '   <br />'


   . '   <br />'


   . '</div>';

You mean iOS or MacOS, because you can get the flashplayer for MacOS but not for iOS?

I mean iOS, I guess I read it is possible since I can play video from Youtube.

Check this out and let me know if this is a better way.

I found this site [ Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login! ]

where my iphone can play very well flash videos. I think we need to move asap to html 5. Is it possible to make without html5?

Sorry if I am not explaining well? My idea is to be able to read flash with my iphone, any flash block or module with simple codes.

Embarassed

Edit:

I use your code in order to make the module in php. Here is the final step but my iphone can not read that. Crying or Very sad

Code:

<?php





/**********************************/


/*  Module Configuration          */


/* (right side on) v3.1           */


/* Remove the following line      */


/* will remove the right side     */


/**********************************/


define('INDEX_FILE', true);


$index = 1;


include('header.php'); 


OpenTable();





echo '<div class="text-center">'


   . '   <br />'


   . '   <a href="http://www.yoursite.com"><span class="thick">Flash Calculator</span></a>'


   . '   <br />'


   . '   <br />'


   . '   <object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="modules/Calculator/images/calculator_00.swf" width="400" height="500">'


   . '      <param name="movie" value="modules/Calculator/images/calculator_00.swf" />'


   . '      <param name="quality" value="high" />'


   . '      <param name="wmode" value="transparent" />'


   . '   </object>'


   . '   <br />'


   . '   <br />'


   . '</div>';





CloseTable();


include('footer.php');

This module is validated too. Very Happy

We don't need switch to html5, because html5 is not validated. It gives no real standards for this. Only for displaying flash objects on the iphone, we don't need html5. Sorry, but i hate this bad apple phone. You can use with a android phone all things much better. SWFobject put the flash object in javascript, not more. But you need the flashplayer, too!

My suggestion, buy a new android phone and you have a perfect world Smile

Are you saying that iphone is bad? Million of people are using iphone and for me it is one of the best device nowadays. Remember iOS is based on Debian. The software and the device do not have competitors. I tried many smartphones like Samsung Galaxy I,II and III but they are still behind. iphon5 is coming soon.

Changing the subject I do want to solve this problem without using html 5. Is there otherway to do it?

For me is the iphone the badest smart phone ever! Just because a lot of people use something, is it not better! For example: Millions of people listen to bad music, but the music is not better, because they hear it!

The iOS have many bugs and you have many problems with this smartphone. It begins with flash and end with so much things. Apple does not sell any good technology, they only sell an expensive image. Its for me a bad company with to much expensive products.

Android based on linux, too. But this is an other story. The fact is, adobe has blocked flash for the iphone and i like it! Smile

Not to mention the iphone gets changed like a girls wardrobe as to trap you into the "next best thing" buy buy buy cycle. :-B

Whether you like Apple or not, the bottom line is the web is going to be predominantly viewed by mobile devices very quickly. One cannot just dismiss a large, if not currently dominant, player in that market if you want to retain eye-balls. Wink

Hey, I've hated Micro$oft and G$$gle over the years too, but they, like many politicians and lawyers, are a necessary evil. Laughing
