shadowbox from flash

[Wesley]

Thanks this works with images, but how do i get this to work with html pages with the player iframe?

neocorps-  first of all thanks for posting you source they have helped in a huge way.
it's crazy how limited the resources are out there for this.

i have everything working in as3.

i'm have one issue. Every time i launch the shadowbox my swf vanishes. When i close the SB the swf comes back.

i've looked at a few other threads on the form http://www.shadowbox-js.com/forum.html#nabble-td1311151 one that said to  (remove the 'embed' and 'object' tags): in the shadowbox.js file.

i've tried this but the .85% transparent.png is gone, the overlay breaks,  and it removes the close button.

Has anyone come up with a solution for this?

thanks

Helló urban,

  It has been a while since i posted here, i have the same issue here, i don't really know the solution to this, if you find it it would be nice if you could post it back just to have it as a reference.

  I'm glad that the sources helped you and many others, there is as you say, very limited resources to archiving this, everything is on the web, but most of the times in bits and parts, that's how i gathered it all up in bits and parts and made it work for me.

  You should make a new post with your inquiry maybe some one already has a solution to that and will post it.

  Best of luck!

Hello,

  Im sorry for the late response, well all you have to do is change the player, iframe instead of img on flash, and instead of the url for the image, just type the url of the site that you want to open, if you still have some trouble figuring out what to do, post back i will answer as fast as i can.

Good bye

neocorps, your pulula site does not work in IE8, same as my example above. Works in Chrome though.

Hello

  I'm sorry for the late response, i don't usually check this forum very often, the pulula site is not being updated actually, and i haven't really checked with IE8, so yeah its probable that it wont work for it, plus I am not using the most recent version of shadowbox, they must have changed a few things to be compatible (or maybe im the issue here lol).

  Do you need any help right now?

Hey Neocorps,

I have been trying for several days now to get shadowbox to open from flash. I even downloaded your packaged .rar file, Simply unzipped and clicked on index.html. Nothing happens when I click on the links. Am I missing something? This seems to happen with all the proposed solutions on the various forums and I am yet to see an example of flash opening a shadowbox. I tried your solution in firefox, ie8 and ie7 with no joy.

Any ideas where to go from here?

Thanks any help would be awesome.

Hello jph303,

  The file should work, i build it a while ago, and haven't updated it, so it might have problems with updated flash and IE8, but should work in IE7 and the new version of firefox (since i'm using that one and i opened the files to make sure of it).

  There might be two problems with IE8, ether the Doctype of the page is wrong, (its transitional, maybe it wants XHTML strict), or flashobject is not compatible with IE8, in which case you should use ether the newer version of flashObject or the newer version of swfObject, or simply shadowbox i used is not compatible with IE8 (probably).

  As i told you before the files are not updated, i should probably upload newer files and check that issue with IE8, but i haven't got the time right now.

  If you find the issue and fix it, please post your solution here!

I will check the file as soon as i have time.

good luck man!

I cannot get my swf to work inside the shadowbox! I've tried everything posted here and then some! Could anyone help me? I know this thread is long dead but its so close.

I've got shadowbox appearing but I cannot get the swf video to play inside it. It just appears empty. I am trying to launch it from another flash file. Sorry to be annoying... just my hand is starting to hurt from messing with it for so long. Heh. Its not much at the moment (and I don't know if its helpful), but what I've got so far can be seen @ http://www.williamtylerbuser.com/test.html (the bottom left image is the broken button I'm trying to fix)

Anyways, thanks in advance.

Here is my flash button:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
stop();

import flash.external.ExternalInterface;

button1.onRelease = function() {
        ExternalInterface.call("openShadowbox",'wtbFO3trail1','swf','');
};
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here is my HTML:
