Whats the best way to embed a flash file from a link? - hyperlink

I have looked around, but still have not found a very good answer to my question.
I would like to know how I can embed a flash game into my website Via HTML or Java in order for it to play.
I have the SWF file, but am unable to put the file on the site, so I got this link "https://dl-web.dropbox.com/get/flight.swf?w=AAAYS8vwABuIJB3QbyhV1kSX778W0mXh4xRoQ0ADqm4w6g" that is JUST the flash game
Whats the best way to insert this into my site?

Below is a general script which will embed your flash movie in a html page, theres several ways to do this but below will work just copy and paste the code on to your html page in the body area.Check the adobe website if you need other parameters or more information.
<object id="yourmovie.swf" width="550" height="450" classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000"
codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0" align="middle" bgcolor="#ffffff">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="src" value="http://www.yourwebsite/yourmovie.swf" />
<param name="allowscriptaccess" value="sameDomain" />
<param name="pluginspage" value="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" />
<embed id="slots.swf" width="476" height="321" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"src="http://www.yourwebsite/yourmovie.swf"
allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" quality="high" allowscriptaccess="sameDomain"
pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" align="middle" bgcolor="#ffffff" />
</object>
To use a link from java my option will be create a button/link thats open another window with the above on that html page

How to return a local PDF document in a View in MVC

I am trying to show a locally stored PDF document on my MVC Web application.
What I have tried so far is not quite useful. I tried with the object tag in html but it just says : Access denied.
<object type="application/pdf" data="LocalPathToMyFile" width="958" height="726" id="fbContainer" style="visibility: visible;">
<param name="wmode" value="transparent">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always">
<param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff">
</object>
We put them in an iframe like this.
<iframe id="external" src"yourSource" width="100%" style="background:#FFF; height:100%; margin:0; padding:0; overflow:scroll"></iframe>
if that gives you a similar error probably permisions.

flash object not displaying in safari

I have a flash object embedded in my website with the embed code that I got from a website. It does not show up in Safari, it's just a blank area where the flash object is supposed to be. What can I do to get the object to show up in Safari? Thanks.
Here is the embedded code:
<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,0,0" height="250" width="258" id="sn_player" align="middle">

<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" />
<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
<param name="allownetworking" value="all" />
<param name="bgcolor" value="#000000" />
<param name="movie" value="http://sermonplayer.com/swf/player45.swf">

</embed></object> <img src="http://www.sermonplayer.com/images/poweredby.gif" border="0" height="1px" width="1px">
I tested it in my safari browser in a clean rails app and it worked just fine. I'm using safari 5.2.1, also check to see if your flash player is updated to the latest version.

Silverlight app works in aspx page, not MVC Razor View

I'm having trouble getting my Silverlight app to show in an MVC3 Razor View.
When I add the application and it generates the test page (TestAppTestPage.aspx in my case), I can browse to the page and the app works fine. If I copy the same code to an MVC Razor view, then browse to the controller action, nothing happens with the application:
<div id="silverlightControlHost">
<object data="data:application/x-silverlight-2," type="application/x-silverlight-2" width="100%" height="100%">
<param name="source" value="ClientBin/TestApp.xap"/>
<param name="onError" value="onSilverlightError" />
<param name="background" value="white" />
<param name="minRuntimeVersion" value="5.0.61118.0" />
<param name="autoUpgrade" value="true" />
<a href="http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=149156&v=5.0.61118.0" style="text-decoration:none">
<img src="http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=161376" alt="Get Microsoft Silverlight" style="border-style:none"/>
</a>
</object><iframe id="_sl_historyFrame" style="visibility:hidden;height:0px;width:0px;border:0px"></iframe></div>
If I look at the developer console for Chrome, the only thing I see different is the following warning: "Resource interpreted as Other but transferred with MIME type undefined". I'm not sure if this is related.
I've looked at various guides on Silverlight and MVC, and copying relevant portions of their code produces no results either. I've played with adjusting the path, using relative urls, nothing. I've also checked IIS settings, but because it works fine in the aspx test page, I suspect that's not the cause.
Based on mfanto's comment, turning my comment into an answer.
Was guessing in my comment, but I've had issues when NOT using Url.Content for any external files. So the fix would be to use something like
<param name="source" value="<%= Url.Content("~/ClientBin/TestApp.xap") %>" />
Note that that is from an MVC 2 app.

whats the best way to include silverlight pages into an asp.net-mvc site

i have an asp.net-mvc website and i want to merge in some functionality from a silverlight app. i could rewrite but for the time being i wanted to see if there is any clean way to "include" a few silverlight pages inside my mvc app.
what is the recommended way of doing this ?
The New Silverlight Application Wizard allows you to choose ASP.NET MVC as host application and it will setup the necessary parts:
All that you need is to embed the Silverlight application in any view:
<object data="data:application/x-silverlight-2," type="application/x-silverlight-2" width="100%" height="100%">
<param name="source" value="ClientBin/SomeSlApp.xap"/>
<param name="onError" value="onSilverlightError" />
<param name="background" value="white" />
<param name="minRuntimeVersion" value="4.0.50826.0" />
<param name="autoUpgrade" value="true" />
<a href="http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=149156&v=4.0.50826.0" style="text-decoration:none">
<img src="http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=161376" alt="Get Microsoft Silverlight" style="border-style:none"/>
</a>
</object><iframe id="_sl_historyFrame" style="visibility:hidden;height:0px;width:0px;border:0px"></iframe></div>
You could also write a HTML helper allowing you to achieve this in a cleaner way.

Silverlight object in an asp.net MVC view

I am trying to incorporate a silverlight object in one of my controller's views and for some reason the silverlight doesn't display at all... everything works fine in the aspx and html test page.
my code in the view looks like this:
<object data="data:application/x-silverlight-2," type="application/x-silverlight-2" width="100%" height="100%">
<param name="source" value="../../ClientBin/PatientForms.xap"/>
<param name="onError" value="onSilverlightError" />
<param name="background" value="white" />
<param name="minRuntimeVersion" value="3.0.40624.0" />
<param name="autoUpgrade" value="true" />
<img src="http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=108181" alt="Get Microsoft Silverlight" style="border-style:none"/>
</object>
in my view i get nothing at all, if i try to run it in IE64 bit i get the You need silverlight img link as listed in the object's content. I have googled and googled but to no avail... any ideas?
Not exactly sure what I did but I think the containing div wasn't auto sizing to the size of the silverlight content, when viewing in Ie7 my content was visible so I set manual height/width to the div and now I can view in firefox/ie8.
Success!~
