It works fine if I don't install the ACRunActiveContent 'fix' from Adobe. However, once I place the javascript in my code, it doesn't load. This is my layout. I have an html file, swf and the acrunactivecontent.js - all files are sitting in the same folder on my server. I can then view the html file in chrome just fine, but when i try to view it in IE7 it doesn't work.

Why SWFObject is better than AC_RunActiveContent.js for flash embedding

Some advantages of using SWFObject over Macromedia’s AC_RunActiveContent.js approach (that most places don’t talk about):

1. SWFObject degrades gracefully. If flash isn’t detected, the “flashcontent” div element never gets replaced with the flash object script. This being the case, you can use xhtml compliant code that’s far cleaner and more robust than anything Macromedia supports out of the box. Interestingly, Macromedia doesn’t even support alternative content when their implementation is called using the jscript. They allow a <noscript> content area, but in that case you’re limited to only having a replacement <img> instead of full-blown replacement content.
2. SWFObject entails terser code. When using SFWObject, you’re only placing/calling your flash script once instead of multiple times. Notice, for example, that Macromedia requires the flash object to essentially be placed twice, thereby duplicating your work outright. Needless to say, SFWObject’s code implementation is far more elegant and much easier to maintain.
3. SWFObject contains an efficient and robust framework that has extensive functionality built right in. As it stands, Macromedia’s implementation has no (or at least an extremely cryptic) method for doing things like, for example, passing flash argument variables. In fact, a quick glance at Macromedia’s AC_RunActiveContent.js file shows that their rendering mechanism is proprietary to the point of absurdity. Case in point, notice Macromedia’s AC_FL_RunContent() function for generating the <embed> object – if that’s not ad hoc, I don’t know what is. Dirty, cumbersome, and the perfect example of unnecessary overhead that bars anything from being readily transparent or extensible.
4. And, of course, all of the regular advantages.

Some caveats:

1. SWFObject doesn’t work if/when javascript is disabled. I personally consider this a small point, but it’s still a valid shortcoming. Of course, it seems to me that browsers that are running without javascript enabled are likely to be running without flash enabled, either; this is hardly the sort of crowd that most web applications (relying on flash, nonetheless) have to cater to. Incidentally, Macromedia’s approach doesn’t suffer this setback given their use of <noscript>.

EXAMPLE

Anyone familiar with Macromedia’s suggested method for deploying a flash component will find the following typical:

Using SWFObject, one can replace the above using about 1/4 the code:

Background

FlashVars is a mechanism to pass variables to a Flash SWF file. It is similar to a query-string and you can read more about it on this tutorial. FlashVars is useful to pass custom data and to customize the content of a SWF file.

For overview of the FlashVars, look here.

In the old days, FlashVars is normally added into object and embed tags within the html page that contains the movie. However, nowadays, most Flash SWF files are embedded by using some JavaScript mechanism of sort. The was due to the EOLAS (Embeded Objects Linked Across Systems) patent which Microsoft chose to no license in Internet Explorer, thus causing many Flash SWF files to require user to click on the browser before the SWF becomes active. That started happening in 2003, and workarounds have been made to not require user to click on the Flash SWF file, by essentially having Javascript write the “embed” code. It’s lost on me how much different this is from embedding in the html page; but anyhow, as time passed, various scripts are used as workaround to embed Flash SWF files. Two of the most popular ones are SWFObject and AC_RunActiveContent.

FlashVars In AC_RunActiveContent

AC_RunActiveContent.js is/was the official Adobe solution. It is included in Flash CS3 and it is automatically deployed to your publish folder when publishing for Flash.

The html page usually looks like this:

To add FlashVars, just add it anywhere like below:

Above I added two variables into the FlashVar, name=Jim and score=10.

FlashVars In SWFObject

SWFObject is created by Geoff Stearns and is becoming the standard for including SWF content in html page. It is hosted at http://osflash.org/swfobject. FlashCS4 suposedly uses SWFObject, replacing RunActiveContent.

Adding FlashVars in SWFObject is as simple as calling addVariable(variableName, variableValue). Example:

Ac Run Active Js

Above I added two variables into the FlashVar, name=Jim and score=10.
