Flash in fullscreen mode works in <embed>, but not work within tag

Question

I have this code

< a href=\"flash.swf\" class=\"bump\">flash

and it display

Answer 1

Some browsers can't open a Flash file without Flash container (embed). The embed code in your post is fine, put it on a PHP page and replace:

src="flash.swf"

with

<?php echo $_GET['flashurl']; ?>

Then you can put as link: nameofphpscript.php?flashurl=flash.swf

Answer 2

The issue you're having is actually coming from Mootools. Mootools has an Flash embed class called Swiff, which is what BumpBox uses when you pass an SWF in your link.

Unfortunately, I think you're either going to have to hack into BumpBox or Mootools to get full screen permission working.

If you look into the expanded version of BumpBox 2.0.1, you will see where Swiff is instantiated, around line 372:

var obj = new Swiff(content, {
    id: 'video',
    width: maxw-40,
    height: maxh-40,
    container: div
})

You may be able to pass in the additional parameter you require here, which would look something like this:

var obj = new Swiff(content, {
    id: 'video',
    width: maxw-40,
    height: maxh-40,
    container: div,
    params: {
        allowFullScreen: true
    },
})

If that fails you will have to make the adjustment to the Swiff class itself. Open up Mootools and search for Swiff=new Class. That will lead you to the code that creates the Flash object. Finding the params list should be easy from there, it looks like:

params:{quality:"high",allowScriptAccess:"always",wMode:"window",swLiveConnect:true}

and you would just need to add the fullscreen permission:

params:{allowFullScreen:true,quality:"high",allowScriptAccess:"always",wMode:"window",swLiveConnect:true}
