Hi all,

I am not sure if this is the place to post on the subject of PHP/JavaScript but after many hours of reading and trying to get my code to work I now need to source some help.

I have a data table which holds the names of Flsh movie files, all the files are located on my server.

I run a SQL query based on user input to lookup the name of a Flash file movie, this part works fine.

I then have the filename in a variable which I want to pass to the JavaScript code that opens and runs the movie, this is where I am having issues.

To pass the PHP variable to the JavaScript I am using the following code:

<script type="text/javascript">


AC_FL_RunContent( 'codebase','http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,28,0','width','1100','height','800','src','<?php print $movie;?>','quality','high','pluginspage','http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash','movie','<?php print $movie;?>' ); //end AC code
                   </script>
                     <noscript>
                       <object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,28,0" width="1100" height="800">
                         <param name="movie" value="<?php print $movie;?>" />
                         <param name="quality" value="high" />
                         <embed src="<?php print $movie;?>" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="1100" height="800"></embed>
                         </object>
                     </noscript>

If I echo the PHP variable "$movie" the conect is exactly what I would expect, the path and the correct filename.

If I run the script in FireFox and use the debugger and examine the script out put I can see the following:

<script type="text/javascript">
AC_FL_RunContent( 'codebase','http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,28,0','width','1100','height','800','src','RoomLocator/2703.swf','quality','high','pluginspage','http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash','movie','RoomLocator/2703.swf' ); //end AC code
</script>
<noscript>
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,28,0" width="1100" height="800">
<param name="movie" value="RoomLocator/2703.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<embed src="RoomLocator/2703.swf" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="1100" height="800"></embed>
</object>
</noscript>

In this case the path and the flash filename are "RoomLocator/2703.swf" Which is correct.

Can anyone see why the Flash movie will not run.

I can only appologise in advance for posting a PHP/JavaScript question here.

    Hi all,

    Sorry to post this, but afterwards I was playing around with the PHP car in side the JavaScript and for what ever reason its now working.
