Drag-and-Drop Resizable Flash...

[z12]

Well, I'm not anywhere near done checking out your list of problem sites.
But I did get to look at some. Here's some notes on what I found.

It worked for me. But in a manner of speaking, it failed.
I still don't want to buy an Audi.

No detection issues here either.

The interesting thing is alot of these sites use basically the same flash script (swfojbect.js).
Why some would give you detection problems and others not is odd.
I'll do some more investigating on this problem later.

ProxRock Wrote:sites where all three methods (no resizing, resize within textarea, resize within span) work in the sense of detecting the flash, but that the play button is not clickable (sidki's config's toggle is not clickable either, a "transparent logo" or something of that effect)...

This appears to be a css issue. The toggle is "behind" the logo image.
Setting a high value for the z-index on the toggle image/link should fix this.

Thats an interesting one. It worked for me, but I can see where it wouldn't match for ie.
The closing object tag is missing for the ie code. That's why my filter didn't match.

I debuged the js with sidki's filter.
We both matched the first object element.
His matched the opening object tag for the ie code, but not the following paramter elements.
But sidki's didn't match the following embed code, which mine did match.
Confused? I am.

This site makes me wonder about the whole object/embed matching scheme.
I could probably play with this site for several days trying different code on different browsers.

ProxRock Wrote:sites that your original filter works on but does NOT work with the div in the textarea OR with the class/id in the span encasing the textarea...

hmmm...I didn't see a problem, other than my proxMenuIcon kept poping up on top of the toggle button.
After I disabled the menu, all seemed well.

I must not be simulating your replacement code correctly.
Can you post some problem replacement code so I can see what the problem is.

Anyway, your roundup of flash sites is cool, if not somewhat depressing.
I saw enough issues to keep me busy for a while.
