flash embed with jquery - how to call the flash variable?

Posted: Jun 9, 2009

Hello,

I would like to use flash-embed with jquery to embed an xml flash slideshow.

Flash embed seem such a fantastic and clean way to embed flash!

My question is: what is the correct jquery call to pass the flash variable for the slideshow xml file (eg file=/slideshow2/slideshow.xml)?

My jquery flash embed call is currently as per below - the flash is loaded but the xml file is not retrieved:


$(document).ready(function(){
    $('#slideshow2').flashembed({ 
	 	src: '/slideshow2/slideshow.swf',
		version: [8, 0],
		wmode: 'transparent',
		menu: 'false',
		quality: 'high',
		allowfullscreen: 'false',
		allowscriptaccess: 'false',
		file: '/slideshow2/slideshow.xml'
    });
});

Please advise how I need to call the xml file (flash vars).

I am a css'er so please go easy on the javascript speak.

Thanks so much

Flash variables are given on the second argument. On your case this is:


$(document).ready(function(){ 
	$('#slideshow2').flashembed({
	
		// embedding arguments
		src: '/slideshow2/slideshow.swf', 
		version: [8, 0], 
		wmode: 'transparent', 
		menu: 'false', 
		quality: 'high', 
		allowfullscreen: 'false', 
		allowscriptaccess: 'false'
		
		// "flashvars"
	}, {
		file: '/slideshow2/slideshow.xml' 
	}); 
});
