embedding flash using swfobject in drupal 6.x dimensions issue

Question

I embedded flash to my site using this:

print swf('myflash.swf');

into my page.tpl file however it is not recognizing the orig dimensions when using this:

print swf('myflash.swf',array('height'=>400,'width'=>700));

But the flash is showing up, only the dimensions had the problems. I have been searching and searching around in Google and drupal forums to no avail for a few days now..

If anyone out there had the same issue please help I am so stuck!

Answer 1

The swf function from the SWF Tools module is expecting something more like this:

print swf ('myflash.swf', array('params'=>array('height'=>400,'width'=>700)));

If params doesn't work, here are the other keyed values it is looking for:

  // Initialise any $options array elements that weren't passed by the caller
  $options += array(
    'params' => array(),
    'flashvars' => array(),
    'othervars' => array(),
    'methods' => array(),
  );
