swf video size problem
« on: March 24, 2011, 02:28:03 PM »
I have a question about changing the .swf player video size. bear in mind guys your site system is complicated with way to much information for me to adequately  search for my needs so i am posting this.
anyway here is the problem.  This is the original flash video  page i created http://www.jack.webb-jack.com/lata/legacy/  the dimensions are  640x480 but on the 4images gallery http://eternal-gallery.webb-jack.com/details.php?image_id=2 it's tiny. I'd like it to be display  or have the ability to change the display size to that of the actual video. Because at that size it is set on  4images gallery cant even read the text, or see the detail in the video as you can in the original. Can anyone help me? I'm hoping there's help available :)

hm, test it..
search in your Template file for Flash Movies:

<embed src="http://www.jack.webb-jack.com/lata/legacy/lota.swf" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></embed></object></td>

and replace:

<embed src="http://www.jack.webb-jack.com/lata/legacy/lota.swf" width="640" height="480" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></embed></object></td>

can you be specific on which template file. in the current template i am using travel-photography-template i found in folder named media a html for every type of media including swf. The swf.html file has this code

<!-- Template file for Flash Movies -->

<table cellpadding="1" cellspacing="0" border="0">

  <tr>

    <td bgcolor="#000000">

     <object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=5,0,0,0"{width_height} />

      <param name="movie" value="{media_src}">

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

      <param name="play" value="true">

      <param name="scale" value="false">

      <embed src="{media_src}" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"{width_height}></embed></object></td>

  </tr>

</table>

Is this the one you are referring to?

Problem being not all swf flash movies are the same size. There needs to be some modifications that allows you to enter in the size of the flash video when you enter it into the gallery.  If i change this then all display windows the videos appear in will be the same size

yes

this is your code:
<embed src="{media_src}" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"{width_height}></embed></object></td>
and replace with this one:
<embed src="{media_src}" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="640" height="480"></embed></object></td>

Great it worked see for yourself http://eternal-gallery.webb-jack.com/details.php?image_id=2 But i still think you guys should try to make some modifications to the program so when adding the video to upload, there's a place where you put in the video dimensions. Makes it more functional,  perhaps on future editions of this awesome gallery. Think about it.


and thanx for your help
