I downloaded the June 4th release of SWF Object and am trying to embed a .flv file with the folowing in the body tag:

Here's a video of ALARM's History:
<?php
print swf("alarm_hist_med.flv", "336x224");
?>

SWF Tools is returning the following, in which it appears that %3A is replacing what should be a colon and FlashVars is showing up twice?:

Here's a video of ALARM's History: <div class="swftools-wrapper generic-mp3 "><div class="swftools"><object width="336" height="224" classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,0,0">

All I'm getting is a white blank, although it looks like the SWF is loaded, but not the flv...
Thanks for your help!

Ah this is my basic generic player. I see the problem a think.

The : thing is nothing to worry about, btw.

I'll be a little while looking into this, you might want to try jeroenwijering.com's media player in the meantime.

Can you try taking the file url, replacing the colon, and then testing it directly in a broswer?

Okay, I put it in a plain vanilla html file in my root drupal directory, and still it didn't load the video. I'm running on localhost, but I don't know what that would have to do with it. The SWF looks like it loads, although I don't see any player controls. The FLV file definitely doesn't load.

Earlier I tried running the video using FLV player, and it worked. All the links look exactly correct (and I know the link to the FLV file is working because the module checked that the file was there).

I'm running Apache2, php5, mysql5. I can get you the exact versions if you need. Thanks again for your help...

False alarm file permissions problem. Sorry about all that. I copied the flv file from another file system and the permissions got whacked out.

Thanks for updating the ticket status, I appreciate this!

Something useful about ticket status is that you can make them "fixed", then they appear green in the queue for about 2 weeks before they are automatically "closed". So I'm marking "fixed" for this reason.

Thanks for trying SWF Tools :)
