Video Tag Shockwave Download

HTML & CSS
1

So I have a video in front of my website and in IE it requires to have shockwave player and for people to download it. Can I overrite that? I am not sure why it is doing that. SITE

I have a regular video tag or maybe it is something to ad and remove on my head tag.

<video id="video" poster="images/IOGWORDS.jpg" controls>
            <source src="media/IOG_BENEFITS.mp4" type="video/mp4">
        </video>

Or it may be my .swf transitions

<object type="clsid/d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" data="http://download.macromedia.com" width="974" height="282"> 
    <param name="movie" value="media/iog_transmonitor.swf" /> 
    <param name="quality" value="high" /> 
    <param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff" /> 
    <param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
    <embed src="media/banner_tran.swf" quality="high" bgcolor="#ffffff" width="974" height="282" id="TransitionBanner" 
        wmode="transparent" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"> 
</object>

It’s your object in your #flashContainer

<div id="flashContainer">
<object type="clsid/d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" data="http://download.macromedia.com" width="974" height="282"> 
    <param name="movie" value="media/iog_transmonitor.swf" /> 
    <param name="quality" value="high" /> 
    <param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff" /> 
    <param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
    <embed src="media/banner_tran.swf" quality="high" bgcolor="#ffffff" width="974" height="282" id="TransitionBanner" 
        wmode="transparent" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"> 
</object> 
</div>

Edit-you beat me to it.

I see is it possible to overrite this? I can maybe turn this into a .gif animation instead…

Your data attribute should be what is used to pull the flash. Use this updated HTML.

<div id="flashContainer">
<object type="clsid/d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" data="media/banner_tran.swf" width="974" height="282"> 
    <param name="movie" value="media/iog_transmonitor.swf" /> 
    <param name="quality" value="high" /> 
    <param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff" /> 
    <param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
</object> 
</div>

There’s no need for <embed>

<embed src="media/banner_tran.swf" quality="high" bgcolor="#ffffff" width="974" height="282" id="TransitionBanner" 
        wmode="transparent" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"></embed>

Use this code instedad. We need to get <embed> out of there.

<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="media/banner_tran.swf" width="974" height="282"> 
    <param name="movie" value="media/iog_transmonitor.swf" /> 
    <param name="quality" value="high" /> 
    <param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff" /> 
    <param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
</object>

Embed shouldn’t be used in this day and age…object is what you can do since it’s brought back in HTMl5.

By the way does my website load slow on your end by any chance using browser? specifically the home page?

15

I work in a place that offers extremely fast internet so I wouldn’t rely on any answer that I give you.

But to answer your question - it loads normally. Not fast, not slow. Almost everything loads fast here though except the horrendous pages.

ok. thanks.
