SWF Object Not Working in Jetspeed-2
Hello list!
I have a portal here that is up and running. There is one problem I am having though.
I have many portlets that are 'housing', if you will, Flash Applications. When I put my Flash apps on a page I use SWF Object, which just lets me put Flash on a web page without having to activate an ActiveX control in IE if viewing these apps.
Unfortunately, there has to be something in Jetspeed-2 that is not allowing this to work properly. I can't be sure of what it is, but it is very annoying to have to click on a flash app before actually getting it to work properly.
Would anyone have a solution for this problem?
Thank you,

Try changing the page decorator to "simple". Do you see the Flash app?

Hi David,
I am sorry, I am not sure exactely what "height" property I should be
looking for here. We customized a jetspeed layout here, but that was simply
done by one of the girls changing a few values around of the tigris layout.
I can see where there are a few 'height' properties in our layout styles.css
page, as well as a couple in the portlet styles.css page, but I can't make
sense of why these values may be messing up my SWF object code.
As for the other reply, I do not think this is a client side issue as the
same code works perfectly when run outside of jetspeed.
This is somewhat of an annoyance for our users moreso than a "bug", as the
flash does work, but I would love for the users to not have to click to
activate the Flash app before having to click again to start the
application.
Any help is great,
Thank you,

I've also seen that the default decorators like tigris don't properly
display flash on IE, where they do display correctly on Mozilla
I think it has to do with the height of the Jetspeed layouts or portlet
decorators
Try adjusting the height, and also try on Mozilla

Rendering/playing Flash is a client issue, it does not rely on any
server-side solution (a server writes a stream of HTML code to a client;
if such HTML refers to SWF, a client downloads it then and plays
locally). A reason of your problem must be something different.
