Flash in HTML content does not have menu

I added a Flash object in one of my pages, and the flash plays well, but there is no menu showing, so I cannot stop or replay the flash. Am I missing something here?

Thanks,

Re: Flash in HTML content does not have menu

It seems that TinyMCE's flash player plugin does not have menu suport. I wonder if anyone else has the same problem as me.

Re: Flash in HTML content does not have menu

Flash Player is a browser plugin, as far as I know there is no Flash Player in the editors. All the editors do is help you with the markup to embed Flash.

If there is a menu related to a Flash movie, the menu is also in the Flash. Often there may be a Flash video, but there is another Flash that is the video player and this is what provides the video buttons like play, pause, stop, etc aka a menu, none of that comes from the editor.

If all else fails you can directly edit the embed code in source view, the editor may not be able to always setup parameters or initialization scripts used with Flash, to get exactly what you want you may need to code it by hand in source view.

Hope that helps,

Joe

Re: Flash in HTML content does not have menu

When I use TinyMCE to insert a .flv file, I will get the source code like this:

<object width="320" height="240" data="http://www.sangkimtkd.com/ClientScript/tiny_mce342/plugins/media/moxieplayer.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"><param name="src" value="http://www.sangkimtkd.com/ClientScript/tiny_mce342/plugins/media/moxieplayer.swf" /><param name="flashvars" value="url=/Data/Sites/1/flash/home_page/Intro.flv&amp;poster=/" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="true" /></object>

It seems to me that moxieplayer.swf is a player pluggin of TinyMCE to play Flash video. This player cannot display menu for .flv files, but will display menu for .swf files.

What I ended up to do is to find another Flash player for playing .flv files, and it shows the menu I need. And as you said I had to use HTML view to add all the parameters.
