I’m searching my ass of with this addon… (sorry for the bad language!)
Could you post snippets and replace-codes next time. I don’t have a text editor that shows lines like line 173 or 125. i had to count it manualy and gave up finaly…

For the rest it works now! But not XHTML VALID unfortunately.
You might wan’t to clear some thing out for those who don’t have the english language as their primary language.

Just a tip! Post a code where people can search for and show them what to replace it with…

Thanks,

Le Marquis

Hrm, that is kinda stupid. I would suggest you submit a bug report about that. The filter the ‘the_content” should come after that text is replaced.

I opened kml_flashembed.php (version 0.2), and tried to find:
the srting you gavethat needed to replaced, and:

It isn’t in there??

Also Opened, /wp-includes/template-functions-post.php and
/wp-includes/feed-functions.php, while using WP 1.5

Strings you gave up to replace with were not in there as well???

What the??? Do I have the right version? Or what!! If you want I could send you a sample of my WP! To check out…

Le Marquis

I added a ip here as a link to show you what I got…

Zip file containing two PHP files

Download and see that it isn’t in there. I used Dreamweaver for this to change… Although the kml_flashembed.php was already the given code you gave me to replace, that was your latest version…

If you could check it out and if you found the correct code would you be so kind to send it to my personal email seen below

Does this code work with swish files? I’m trying to get swish to work…can’t figure it out.

There’s a slight error in the tag provided in the plug-in desciption – it states ‘flashembed movie=”filename.swf”’... – it should be ‘kml_flashembed movie=”filename.swf”’.... (all within angle brackets – and matching end tag) for the filter to pick it up.

The tag is stated correctly in the Read Me file, but being the type of person who doesn’t read ‘Read Me’s’ I found out the hard way. Once that was fixed it worked perfectly. Thanks!

I have a pre-existing flash file that has some variables being passed in the movie parameter after the swf reference… like this..

movie=”gallery.swf?images=photos/oh_pic_000.jpg,photos/oh_pic_001.jpg&delay=2&”

thanks,
jason.

Hi there,

This seems quite a promising plugin – I’m not sure if it’s possible or how dfficult it would be, but would there be a way to use this plugin integrated into WP to a point where a user can actuall insert an image and link it within a post via thumbnail generated by simple viewer?

Thanks

I may be too much a of a noob, but I have had no succes with this. I installed the plug-in, and I activated it. Afterwards, I created a post and typed in the following code:

<kml_flashembed movie=”filename.swf”                height=”150”                width=”300” ></kml_flashembed>

height=”350”
width=”436”>

being displayed on my post. What am I missing. Something big I hope.

It’s not working for me either. I’m running WP 1.5.1.

Here’s what I’m posting:

It does nothing.

hi :)

thx for your plug !! very usefull .. just having a little problem on the archive pages.. see : http://ghostprod.com/category/video/

using 1.5.1 any sugestion ?

YES, just found out how to solve my problem. wasn’t your plugin witch is perfect.. it was only a wrong call in the php code :

Still not working. Here’s my code:

It won’t post my code. I’ll try again, but with a space after the open carrots.

< kml_flashembed movie="http://professorfripples.com/blog/flash/blindDragon2.swf" height="250" width="400">< /kml_flashembed>

I went and deleted all the bad spaces, and lo and behold, it spat out this

var flashObject = new FlashObject(”http://www.titanav.com/mini/nightin/slide.swf”, “fm_slide”, 436, 350, 6, “”);
flashObject.write();

sorry another noobie
did all the hacks still can’t get it to show looks like i got it right just won’t display the flash.
any suggestions?
here is the page

http://www.drchango.com/blog/?p=223#more-223

any help would be much appreciated

would have posted the code but wasn’t sure how to-

thanks your suggestion totally worked i was redirecting my page to the dir above my wordpress install becuase i had recently switched from blogger and didn’t want to throw people with the diff URI.
anyway thanks agin great plug, BTW

thanx for the plugin! i will surely try it in my blog!

I can’t get it to work. I checked the source code and this is what’s pointing to the flash object file: http://zacharyforrest.com/zen/wp-content/plugins/kml_flashembed.php/flashobject.js

I’m trying to get a program called Slideshow Pro working which loads the images from an xml file. This is possible, isn’t it?

Thanks for your plugin, it works great for embedding flash movies on the frontpage of WP.

But I do have a problem with the archive pages, there instead of the movie I see a bit of code:

var flashObject = new FlashObject(”images/TonijnZalm.swf”, “fm_TonijnZalm”, “70%”, “20%”, 6, “”);
flashObject.write();

Also when we go to Categories and look at the blogs, no image but a bit of code.

Are we doing something wrong or is it a known bug?
Here is the url, still under construction ;-)

Hope you can help, tia

Hi, thanks for this work.

My “Blog Address” is pathed to point to a different folder from the wordpress-install folder, and this won’t be changeable.

Do I understand that I can’t use your plugin? Or can I dig into the template and change the path to flashobject.js

hi
I’m trying to get Imagvue gallery on my test site but not having any luck. I used the plugin but nothing happens. As a test I tried simpleviewer (free) gallery and at least it throws up the thing but it gets stuck on load. I tried the Wordpress forums but only found the same question and no one seems to have left an answer. Any help on this would be much appreciated. My test site is http://villian.pcmonkee.com

thanks!

never mind figured it out…

having issues… it works in my pages … but can’t get it to replace the top image… can ya help?

here’s the top image code
—#headerimg {
—height: 200px;—width: 100%;—background: url(“images/header.jpg”) no-repeat center;—margin: 20px auto 10px auto;—}

minus the—of course…

the background image is the top bar… how do i use this flash embedding to make the top bar a swf? i have the file header.swf taht i created in flash… but background: url(“images/header.swf”) doesn’t work… whats the syntax to make to work in this situation? Thanks for your help

Hi Michael. I’m having a bit of a difficulty getting the plugin to work.
I’ve got a test over at http://www.ghostrunnermusic.com/wordpress/?p=42
and I’m unable to have the plug-in load the right files (as you see.) I’ve read through the notes here and at http://wordpress.org/support/topic/32407. In accordance with that, I used this to call it up:
@kml_flashembed movie=”http://foo.com/galleries/test/viewer.swf” height=”100%” width=”100%” fvars=”xmlDataPath = http://foo.com/galleries/test/imageData.xml” >

Absolutely. Well, mostly, ‘cause of the HTML stripper in here, so remove the space after the first ’ < /kml_flashembed>

Got it a little further along, but it still won’t load images. Thanks for your help, Michael.

Page under discussion is:
http://www.ghostrunnermusic.com/wordpress/?p=42

Ugh. Sorry.

without the single quotes.

Hello. I am using WP 1.5.3 and cannot get the plugin to work. I installed kml_flashembed.php in the wp-content/plugings folder, activated the plugin, copy and pasted the insert movie syntax from the README document and replaced the filename with an absolute URL to my Flash movie. Nothing appears. Viewing the HTML source code, similar to Zachary, I see within the head of the page a Javascript reference to:

http://domain.com/wp/wp-content/plugins/kml_flashembed.php/flashobject.js

This does not seem like a relevant path and perhaps is the problem. Any suggestions? Thanks!

I’m trying to embed the resulting SWF from SlideShowPro into a “page”, but all I get is what looks like the outline of it…any suggestions? My pathing is correct (http://www….) and I have double and triple checked my syntax (). I really need this to work!

Hi Michael – Thank you for your reply. As you suggest, I cannot view the JS URL in the browser so I changed permissions on kml_flashembed.php to 777 but still no go. Perhaps you can see what I am doing wrong? You can view a sample at: http://brianmcnitt.com/wp/?p=6. (BTW, sorry if I sound frustrated in my blog; it was a tough day. (; ) Anyhow, there should be two “green heads” on the page, one below the other. The first is inserted using Flashifier (a lesser embed solution), the second using KML. Hopefully it’s something simple I am missing. Thanks for your help. – Brian

I am having trouble getting the align to work. Is the following example correct:

I tried l and r and it doesn’t seem to have an effect. Am I doing it correctly. This is for embedding in a post.

Thanks!

Michael-Thanks for writing this plugin. Question-does it play .flv files as well? Because I can’t get it to, and I’m not sure if this is due to my ineptitude, or due to the fact that the plugin only plays .swv files. Thanks!

Hi Michael!
I am having trouble to insert flash into post. I am install script as in instructions above, checked twice tags, paths, permissions and get error then page loading: FlashObject is undefined.

My WordPress is 1.5.2 version. Problem is here: http://www.toptendaily.com/nanaca-crash/1

Thanks in advance!

I have the same issue.

It seems to be a javascript issue. At my site, you can access the javascript file here

http://paellafactory.com/blog/wp-content/plugins/kml_flashembed.php/flashobject.js

but it will read “No input file specified.” I set the permissions to 777, and it still doesn’t fly. However, if I go into my Options, General tab and set my Wordpress address to someone’s blog who is running your script correctly, the son of a gun picks up with no problem. Evidently, the javascript file isn’t flying. Any ideas beyond changing the permissions to make this sucker fly. I know I am close, I can feel it.

Site in question http://paellafactory.com/blog/?page_id=7

I ran into the same problem running wordpress in a cgi environment; changing the line in add_flashobject_js to

kml_flashembed.php?flashobject.js

instead of

kml_flashembed.php/flashobject.js

fixed it for me.

Cool. Fast turnaround! I had to make one other tweak. When other filters were added in “the_content” chain they were losing text if this filter ran first and the content didn’t contain an embedded flash tag. I added the following to kml_flashembed immediately after:

$tags= preg_split($tag_regex, $text, -1, PREG_SPLIT_DELIM_CAPTURE);

so it would play well with others :-)

if (count($tags)

hmmm, the last line was cut off, should be two lines:

if (count($tags)

dang. Textile… last line is a “return $text;” ... sorry for the trail of posts…

and conditional should be “if (count($tags)

Does Kmili play .flv files or not?!?

Yes, I’ve tried it and I couldn’t get it to work—so meanwhile I’m trying to figure out if it’s something I’m doing wrong, and I’d feel stupid if Kmili just didn’t play .flv files.

From your response I’m guessing that it does…

Hi, just wanted to say that your plugin works like a gem. thanks!

one thing though: it seems to crash the markdown filter, or at least markdown when run through the text-control plugin

The solution for me was to lower the filter priority on flashembed:
add_filter('the_content', 'kml_flashembed',100);, where “100” is the priority (10 is default, and 1 is the highest.) Hmm…. Come to think about it, I guess I could have just raised the priority for text-control instead. Might do that actually…

Just fyi. Your script uses a reference to $_SERVER[‘REQUEST_URI’], which for whatever reason returns nothing on my Windows server. I didn’t want to go mess with the php.ini file to make this work, so I just changed a few things around. Instead of calling kml_flashembed.php?flashobject.js, I did something like this: kml_flashembed.php?jsCall=true and just checked for that variable in the conditional statement. Works great now, but I did pull my hair out for while before I figured out what wasn’t working.

Great script overall. Thanks.

Hi,
Love the plug-in. Having a small problem with it. I’m using Flash Pro 8 and the new FLVComponents. I’ve installed the plug-in and when I reference a swf, it doesn’t show the transport controls that are in the component swf.

Here’s what I put in my post:
@@

Here’s the page:
http://www.skidgel.com/blog/?p=28

The transport controls don’t show. Here’s a page where I’m referencing the same swf and the controls do appear:
http://www.skidgel.com/blog/wp-content/video/walking_flvplyr.html
click and hover over the swf to have the controls appear.
If you look at the source for the web page above, there isn’t anything I’m not putting in the kml tag afaik.

Any ideas?

Thanks again for the plug-in!

John

Thanks for the plugin, it rocks!

A warning to anyone using the Post-Teaser plugin. Activating this plugin will make Post-Teaser not work. Updating to the latest version of both Post-Teaser & KML still does not fix the situation.

What a shame, its a great plugin otherwise!
I’ll have to embed my flash manually until I find some sort of resolution. :(

This looks like a great plugin to use alongside my textile formatting but i’m having a few errors. First of I’m running WP 2.0RC-1 so please let me know right off the top if that might be the problem.

Here is my code

and I’m getting the following error

Warning: join(): Bad arguments. in /home/badwea76/public_html/thefraze/wp-content/plugins/kml_flashembed.php on line 299

http://thefraze.badweather.net/index.php/mp3-test_70/

Hi, I’m using WordPress 1.5.2 and trying to get the plugin tag to work inside of a “page” in WP. Here’s my exact line:

I don’t get any errors, but my Flash doesn’t show on the page. When I view the page source I see:

var flashObject = new FlashObject(“http://family.greddin.com/slideshow.swf”, “slideshow”, 399, 501, 6, “”);
flashObject.write();

I have the flashobject.js file in my root and the plugins directory too. Where does it need to be?

Can you point me in the right direction?

Thanks,
-Greg R

Is there supposed to be a flashobject.js file included with the kml_flashembed.php file that I downloaded? I didn’t see one in the zip file.

Just a followup. Note that since I didn’t see a flashobject.js file in the download package, I manually copied the one I had from my root into the plugins folder. Do you know where I can get the older version which works better with kml_flashembed?

Ok, I’m getting somewhere now. But not quite there. I essentially had two flashobject.js files just in different locations. I took the reference to the root one out and now it’s working.

Lastly, I’m adding an fvar like this:
fvar=”initialUrl=escape(document.location)”

When it gets rendered to the page it looks like this: (notice the quotes around the escape(document.location). I think this is the problem.

var flashObject = new FlashObject(“http://family.greddin.com/slideshow.swf”, “slideshow”, 399, 501, 6, “”);
flashObject.addVariable(“initialUrl”, “escape(document.location)”);
flashObject.write();

I’m trying to setup permalinks with SlideShowPro. Do you know a way I can not get the quotes to appear around this? Or perhaps another way to accomplish the same thing?

Thanks a lot.

Yes!!! this is the best plugin! Amazing.. check out my embedded flash résumé on www.artsy.ca. thank you kimili!

Hi there,
I am using camtasia and wordpress. I have managed to make your plug in work in a wordpress post. This is great! I am curious though cause I am not getting any controls (I just use the .swf file not all 4 files that camtasia produces). Is there something in the plugin that would provide controls? Or is there other software out there that would include controls. Not sure if any of this makes sense but I would appreciate your consideration.

Hi there, I’ve figured out that Camtasia does not produce build in controls. I have been trying BB Flashback recorder. I produce a good quality swf files but it looks terrible on the wordpress blog. Any suggestions?

Can anyone tell me what program was used to make this flash file. The reason I am asking is 1. I like the controls and 2. I like how their is no blank screen when the flash file ends.

http://www.drchango.com/blog/?p=223#more-223
(there is no contact info on the site)

Right now I am using MAcromedia Captivate and after the flashfile ends it leaves the space blank and also I don’t like the controls (in order for it to restart you have to click rewind, rather than play.)

If anyone can tell me what programme can be useful for the above requirements please let me know.

Just wanted to confirm, that Flash 8 media component controls do not show up when used in conjunction with kimili—the flv plays back just fine, but without controls ( the controls show up properly when not used in conjunction with kimil ).

FYI – Camtasia is a screencasting product which allows you to perform screen captures and then outputs to a variety of file formats including flash. Camtasia allows you to produce a swf file and a “swf playback” application which will load that file and provides vcr style ciontrols, time display, etc.

I too can confirm that when using the Camtasia playback application kimili does not work properly. The Camtasia playback application requires an xm file to be loaded up which provides configuration details, etc. It appears as though the relative paths to the xml and swf files it needs are not being interpreted correctly.

Does anyone have any thoughts about potential workarounds for either of these problems?

there is a incompatibility with another plug-in: Link Page v1.0 won’t work if you have Kimili Flash Embed (v0.3) installed/activated. maybe there will be a fix sometime?

Hadn’t ever realized it, but the Flash 8 flv components output a swf file which which is used for the playback controls. It appears the reason the flv components are not visible is because of the same relative file path issues described above.

Micheael’s response concerning absolute paths vs relative paths for loading xml and external swf’s will indeed remedy the situation. It seems an awkward work around, as relative pathing will be assumed by tools and developers, but it works nonetheless.

ola, i’m sorry about my english.
i love your plugin, but i have a problem: i’ve got a .swf file who is reading “loadVariables” from a .txt file, but with wordpress and your plugin it doesn’t wok. at a normal html site the .swf works….

wow, that’s a service!
the plugin i’m using is Version: 0.3.1.
the testpage is http://www.blog.zwischenzeit.ch, the .swf should be above, at “test”.
i tried it with an absolute path, it doesnt worked.
as: _root.loadVariables(“http://www.blog.zwischenzeit.ch/public_html/blog/downloads/text.txt”, “”)
thnx

thnx!!! just great service, hehe.

Plugin works with 2.0, but it doesn’t display anything in the post editor when trying to edit the post (not even if you press the HTML button).

I use the plugin with the Scripturizer Remix:

http://laurenceo.com/2005/10/08/scripturizer-remix/

Activating your plugin causes scripturizer to cease to function without any error messages.

I tried the solution mentioned above of lowering the filter priority and it worked. A long term solution without editing the plugin would be nice. Whether its the wordpress devs, you, or the other plugin authors fault… I don’t know.

Plugin don’t work with WP 2.0,
After an upgrade 1.52 to 2.0, post are OK, but each time you want to edit a post with WP 2.0, when you click on save the post, the post is save then after the text of the post is cleaned and the
is deleted. So when you save it again, the flash section is lost.

I’m having problems getting simpleviewer to work. I’ve read all the posts and I’ve found similiar problems with this program and it seems to stem from the imageData.xml file. Anyone fixed this yet? Pascal was working on it and then he dropped off.

Thanks!

Scott

hmmm
great concept BUT i am trying to embed a swf in my header. i ativated the plugin, and placed the code in the header, but nothing. Now is realise i have no js code? can anyone expalin why the js code is noewhere to be found, even though the plugin is activated? (or am i just being dumb????) happy new year to all ans sundry.

sorry for all those spelling mistakes. my plugin does not generate a .js file. shouldn’t it do so?

Hi, i got an error

Warning: join(): Bad arguments. in /usr/export/www/vhosts/funnetwork/hosting/louisamaus/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/kml_flashembed.php on line 299

Everyone solve this problem ?

Activating your plugin causes, in search results and archives, display the_content+the_excerpt instead the_excerpt!
Look: http://www.4mj.it/index.php?s=google

Hi sorry if my questions sound stupid, I’m just a newbie, I wanted to add flash movies into my post and I tried the plugin version 0.3.1 . I found out that there are no play/control buttons for visitors to click on? Is there anyway that I can add them?

I would also like to add a border around my flash, how do i do that?

Maybe you all can view my site here and give me some comments.

I don’t quite understand about the flashobject.js thingy. What’s the file for? I didn’t upload the file but I can still view the flash with no problem. How come?

Hope you guys can answer my questions. Thanks!

KK

Oops, here’s my site again – http://zelda-fans.com/blog/

With WP 2.0 the plugin doesn’t work. Kimili flash plugin results in losing the flash tags when editing a post. This is an issues of the rich editor.

Users of the plugin can deactivate the rich editor in your user settings but that sucks. The WYSWIG editor is on by default anyway…

Maybe you can try adding an alternative syntax like the exec-php plugin author did with his plugin.

He changed to use brackets [] instead of the like so:

[kml_flashembed movie="filename.swf"                height="150"                width="300" ][/kml_flashembed]

Whether this would work for the flash plugin or not, I have no clue. I’m not good at PHP or Wordpress development. Regardless this would be an ugly work around, but something is better than nothing.

No idea what this does. Is there a demo anywhere to take a look? I’ve just surfed in here in error. Interested to learn though.

Is this plugin going to be developed for Wordpress 2.0?

great!! if u need any beta testers let me know… im in desperate need of such a tool! cheers, a.

Cool.

Looking forward to it!

Thanks :)

Bring it on!! I’m running WP2 so would like to use the new plugin

I’m using this plugin with “Ozh Click Counter” and everytime i activate this plugin, the click counter stops to work. Anybody have any solution? will the new version sovle that or something?

Yup, plz bring it on for wp2
