Flash video not appearing on facebook canvas page

this page works when requested locally (a flash movie plays), http://localhost:8080/flash.aspx

I also have url routing set up http://localhost:8080/videos/ also directs to http://localhost:8080/flash.aspx

If I have set up the following facebook application settings:

---website---

1. site url: http://localhost:8080/
2. site domain: localhost

---facebook integration---

1. canvas page: http://apps.facebook.com/my_app/
2. canvas url: http://localhost:8080/video/

when I request the page: http://apps.facebook.com/my_app - http://localhost:8080/flash.aspx is loaded into the facebook canvas (I can see my testing text), however, the flash movie does not play.

Here is the j开发者_运维知识库query code I'm using to load the swf on flash.aspx

$(document).ready(function () {
    if (swfobject.hasFlashPlayerVersion("6.0.0")) {
        var att = { data: "flash/video.swf", width: "385", height: "312" };
        var par = { flashvars: "foo=bar" };
        var id = "video-container";
        swfobject.createSWF(att, par, id);
    }
});

Any ideas why the flash movie isn't playing when I request: http://apps.facebook.com/my_app/ but does play as it should when the page is requested locally?

Using an absolute path to the flash file fixed it. http://www.mysite.com/flash/video.swf

I don't know about the domain issues (those are outside the scope of SWFObject), but your code can be improved a little. You're wrapping the entire block in a jQuery ready function, but then you also use the addDomLoadEvent. This is redundant. You can simplify to:

$(document).ready(function () {
    if (swfobject.hasFlashPlayerVersion("6.0.0")) {
        var att = { data: "flash/video.swf", width: "385", height: "312" };
        var par = { flashvars: "foo=bar" };
        var id = "video-container";
        var myObject = swfobject.createSWF(att, par, id);
    }
 });

OR you could just use SWFObject's embedSWF function, which has domload detection built-in:

var flashvars = { foo: "bar" };
var par = {};
var att = {};
swfobject.embedSWF("flash/video.swf", "video-container", "385", "312", "6.0.0", false, flashvars, par, att);
