Why Is this .swf Changing my webpage?

Tony S. · #1 (**permalink**) 09-16-10, 12:16 PM

Hi,
I hope that everyone here is having a great day. I am new to both coding of any kind and flash & action scripts as well. I was really hoping that someone here could help me with my current problem. That is. I have been trying to imbed the video code below into my existing webpage, however when I do paste the code into my webpage when I view the page I can see the video just fine, the problem is that the the colors to my webpage (background & table colors) have been changed to white.

Can someone please help me figure this out. How do I add this video code to my webpage without changing the original colors of that page?

The "swfobject.js", "config.xml", "controller.swf", "preload.swf", "FlashTemplate.css", and "ProductionInfo.xml" files are all included in the video folder.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Sincerely
Tony S.

Try taking out this line:

Code:

fo.addVariable( "csColor"     , "FFFFFF"           );

See if that helps. If not can you zip up all the files in a zip files and post it here? Makes troubleshooting easier.

thank you digioz for your suggestion. I did remove that line from the code and the problem is still there. :-( I have also zipped up all the relevant video files so that you can see them. I am not sure how to post them here so I have put a link where the files can be downloaded. Click This link to

There's also a second reference to #FFFFFF you might want to remove too...

Thank you very much digioz for your help. I did remove the line from the video code that you pointed out. I am sorry to say that I am still having my problem.

I have tried to attached all of the relevant video files to this post but the file size exceeds the 500 KB limit. Would you have any more suggestions?

bizzar528 · #6 (**permalink**) 09-17-10, 10:10 AM

Copy it to your hosting and post the link to the zip file.

I want to thank digioz, andbizzar528 for the great advice that you gave me. because of it I was able to change the config..xml with a few other minor code changes. I now have my video embedded on my webpage with no other changes to the page.

Thank you both again for your help and advice I am very grateful to you.
