Hey there guys,
I am currently in the construction phase of my website. I decided to use Facebox for one of the links on my site. Once clicked, the facebox windows pops up and reveals a flash game that I embedded from a Wallace and Gromit site. This works fine in Safari and Firefox, however, I am having problems getting it to work on IE and Opera. I was wondering if there was something I had excluded to prevent it from opening up or if these browsers just aren’t compatible with flash embedded within Facebox.The website is located here http://pikatzu.com/demo/links.html .
Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.

Code:Try this (old code, but should still work):
Code:Let me know how that works

April 29, 2009 at 6:48 pm #56911AshtonSandersParticipantNice! Thanks for the link.
April 29, 2009 at 7:24 pm #56913seedorfMemberhey guys..
ive tried all the above and it still doesnt seem to be working.
It looks like IE and Opera might not support embedded flash within Facebox :cry:Thanks a lot for the help though though.
April 30, 2009 at 2:58 am #56929apostropheParticipantVery strange. :?
Just out of curiosity, have you tried embedding the Flash without Facebox? ie.Does it work if it’s placed inside a normal div? At least then we will know for sure if the problem is Facebox or something else.
April 30, 2009 at 2:23 pm #56948seedorfMemberI tried it without the Facebox and it works perfectly. Would it make sense to say that its because the flash content is version 10.0.22. Its a bit odd isn’t it?
April 30, 2009 at 2:37 pm #56950AshtonSandersParticipanthonestly it sounds like a human error bug… I just put it into a webpage and it did work fine…
Next idea: Try putting a div inside the #crackinggame div that forces the width and height:
Code:….I don’t think that will totally solve the problem but may help with collapsing…
It is very strange…April 30, 2009 at 2:41 pm #56952apostropheParticipantIt is odd, I’ve never known swfobject not to work.
I did a quick search and found this (unresolved sadly) thread on Google groups http://groups.google.com/group/facebox/browse_thread/thread/17c2932480f91165. So you’re not the only one experiencing this problem, unless that was you posting under a different name! lol.
Another quick search turned up this possible alternative, which is free for none commercial use http://raibledesigns.com/rd/entry/shadowbox_a_slick_lightbox_that

Thanks apostrophe,
I decided to implement shadowbox.js. I had a look at shadowbox.js at some point in time, but didnt know if it would work with swf files.. but it does. It looks a lot better, supports a flash embed and it also works extremely well with Opera.
I use a mac with Crossover installed so i can run internet explorer, but this doesn’t allow me install flashplayer on the browser. So at the moment I dont know if it runs in IE, but the shadowbox open up, which is good.
Might implement a png fix at some point in time when im bothered.
Thanks for the advice Ashton
