Been through Notes/Domino 6/7 and 8 forums. 6/7 forum has quite a bit of comments on rendering flash within a form. My dilemma is such.
I have embedded Flash in a Notes 8.5 web page document. I put my and tags on the page and marked them as passthru HTML. I stored the .swf file in the database as a resource and referenced its location in the passthru HTML.
The web page document renders flash nicely in Firefox and Chrome but not IE 8. In IE a white box renders. If I right mouse over the white box, I get the message “Movie not loaded…” I checked my code on earlier versions of IE with the same result. Here is my code that works in Firefox but not IE.
web page menu<td width="861" height="37" align="left" valign="top"><script type="text/javascript">
<param name="movie" value="abcdmenubar.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<embed src="/abcd/abcd.nsf/abcdmenubar.swf?openfileresource" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="824" height="37"></embed>
</object><tt>
I did save the swf to my pc and opened it up in IE with no problem.
I also set the source to be “http://www.abcd.com/abcd/abcd.nsf/abcemenubar.swf?openfileresource”. That didn’t change the outcome either.
Using a slight variant of the code above to run on a non-Domino Linux architecture, I am able to open the flash in IE.
