problem displaying .swf file in generated html from jsp file

[Adrian Matei]

Hi everyone,

I've been having a frustrating problem for almost a week now and I couldn't 
find an answer so far, just open questions on most of the forums - and i've 
searched a lot. 

I am trying to embed a simple flash file .swf within a .jsp but when running it 
on the server (tomcat 6.0.20 tried also 5.0.22 and 6.0.16) it won't display the 
.swf. But if I take the html source and put it another file and run it directly 
in the browser it will run. Do you have any ideea what the proble might be? 
Should I place something in the configuration files? (the .swf and the .jsp are 
in the same directory)

Here is the code for my page:

<div id="container">This text will be replaced</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
  var so = new SWFObject('mediaplayer.swf','jstest','400','220','8');
  so.addParam('allowscriptaccess','always');
  so.addParam('allowfullscreen','true');
  so.addVariable('width','400');
  so.addVariable('height','220');
  
so.addVariable('file','http://content.longtailvideo.com/videos/flvplayer.flv');
  so.addVariable('javascriptid','jstest');
  so.addVariable('enablejs','true');
  so.write('container');
</script>

I tried without the SWFObject the same result. 

Thank you for your consideration.

Best regards,
Adrian
