AC_RunActiveContent.js error

Hi,

When I view my swf in a browser I get an error stating that AC_RunActiveContent.js is required. This doesn't happen on my computer when viewed locally, but it happens on others whether it's hosted locally or remotely. The only thing embedded in the page is a swf that has action script with no external classes or anything that would apparently need a javascript file. This is my first time using flash cs3, but I made it a AS 2.0 file and I have never had this error with the ActionScript I am using. Why is this error occuring and how can I prevent it?

Also, I read the adobe documentation regarding external JavaScript solutions that mentions the AC_RunActiveContent.js but didn't find it helpful.

Thanks

Thanks for the reply Mandi, but I must be doing something wrong because I still can't get this to work. Why is it necessary to do this now? Is it possible to not use javascript? What happened to 1 step publishing?

Put this code into a text file and save as:

"AC_RunActiveContent.js"

into a folder called "Scripts".

==========================================

function AC_AddExtension(src, ext)

function AC_Generateobj(objAttrs, params, embedAttrs)
{
var str = '<object ';
for (var i in objAttrs)
str += i + '="' + objAttrs + '" ';
str += '>';
for (var i in params)
str += '<param name="' + i + '" value="' + params + '" /> ';
str += '<embed ';
for (var i in embedAttrs)
str += i + '="' + embedAttrs + '" ';
str += ' ></embed></object>';

document.write(str);
}

function AC_FL_RunContent(){
var ret =
AC_GetArgs
( arguments, ".swf", "movie", "clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000"

==========================================

Then in the html file holding your swf, add this in the <head> section:

==========================================

<script src="Scripts/AC_RunActiveContent.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

==========================================

and this in the body section:

==========================================

<script type="text/javascript">
AC_FL_RunContent( 'codebase',' http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,29,0','width','800','height','550','src','swfname','quality','high','pluginspage','http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer','movie','swfname','salign','lt','bgcolor','#FFFFFF','scale','noborder' ); //end AC code
</script>

==========================================

replacing "swfname" with the name of your swf and obviously the height and width properties to match your movie


well, that's what i do anyway, and it seems to work. someone else might have a better or more updated resolution...
