Many, many thanks for this bro. I have been searching forever for a script like this.

@David – How would you want a maximum size be implemented? I don’t think I can see how it would be desirable, or even possible…

Hey Jonathan, this helps me out a lot. So close….. but is there a way to have a maximum size, as well? Thanks again.

@Alan – Normally that would happen if you are using a Flash Player older than the required version specified in the SWFObject constructor, e.g. in the following example the upgrade message will be displayed if the user has no Flash Player, or a version older than 8:

swfobject.embedSWF(“main.swf”, “flashmovie”, “100%”, “100%”, “8″, false, flashvars, params, attributes, swfobjectCallback);

Sorry, but I don’t have any plans to modify FlashScaler to work without SWFObject .

Hi Jonathan,

Stunning bit of script btw! But I have run into a slight problem. When I am using swf object i constantly get the…

“We have detected that you do not have the Flash Player plugin required to view this website.

Download the latest Flash Player for free! It takes just a few minutes to download and install.”

…error message. I am assuming that this error stems from swf object so could you please advise me how to set this up without swf objet and using Flash’s default embedding.

Many thanks

@Flashie - I have updated FlashScaler to solve this problem. Please download the lastest version. FlashScaler now has a disable() method, which is called when SWFObject Flash detection fails.

Hmm sorry, the formatting is gone when I pasted the codes above. Here is the screenshot instead:

Hi Jonathan,
Many thanks for the quick reply. I tried your method and it partially worked – the scrollbar now appears. However, when I resize the window smaller, there’s an extra scrollbar appearing. The second scrollbar seems to be from the original SWF/Flashscaler.

Here’s some of the lines I used:

============

var flashvars = {};
var params = { scale:’noScale’, salign:’lt’, menu:’false’ };
var attributes = { id:’flaObject’, name:’flaObject’ };

function swfobjectCallback(e) {
if (e.success==false){
document.getElementById(“flashcontent”).style.overflow =”auto”;
}
}
swfobject.embedSWF(“main.swf”, “noflash”, “100%”, “100%”, “10.0.0″, false, flashvars, params, attributes, swfobjectCallback);

========body html========

Long HTML content here…….

scale = new FlashScaler(“flashcontent”,800,675);

==============
FYI I also use SWFMacmousewheel and tested this on Mac FF/Safari.
I am not an HTML/JS coder so any help is appreciated. Thanks!
