[Pro] pop up in IE

Freeway
1

Hi,

I’m try to create a pop window that holds a youtube movie - works fine on Mac browsers but when I tested IE on a PC, the pop up worked but no video - see here and click the ‘English’ green button

Please help!

Cheers

You’ve left off all of the fallback stuff needed in a proper Flash
movie. How did you create the page that pops up in that window? Try
dragging a Flash movie to a new page in Freeway, publish, and look at
all the generated code that is needed to “wrap” around Flash.

Hi,

I just used the spawn a new window action - the video is on youtube? So the pop up is just a small webpage with youtube action on that?

Thanks

I’ve never used that YouTube Action before. It appears to be only
putting the tag in the page, without the tag inside
it, and without the Flash plugin identifier (classid=“a lot of the
alphabet and all of the numbers” etc.) At a bare minimum, you need this:

And to be even more careful about IE’s delicate sensibilities, you
must wrap the whole thing up in a JavaScript call. Freeway uses a
script called FW_Object.js to load SWF files and QuickTime, there’s
other open source ones you can use – SWFObject is one famous example
– but all of these get around the need to click the movie then agree
to a dialog before the movie will play in IE.
