WDL Suddenly not working in Google Chrome

You have to use a browser that allows flash—Chrome does not.

Puffin does-going through their servers.

I have done some investigating and found out it was due to domain forwarding and masking.

My weather.otronics.co.uk address forwards to another host and masks the actual URLs.

Turning this off has fixed the problem.

My school chrome browser updated today. I no longer have access to WDL live. I was hoping to delay this until Xmas break.

So- I will need massive help getting to html 5.

Current main page http://weather.rms.rdale.org/
Page with steel graphs. http://weather.rms.rdale.org/weather3.php Can’t get graphs to work-tried but no luck.

I like the circles but prefer up/down gauges.
I am way behind the curve in programming and have survived with a little bit of knowledge. Just very frustrated.

can you view my WDL page?
http://www.weather-display.com/windy/gb/flash/

In chrome I get a message to enable flash and if I do that your WDL displays OK for me :smiley:

It asks me to enable flash-then ok. I cannot even get that for my own site.

then you need to setup your WDL like I have (i.e the html source), so that you can at least get it work on your site

So long as you are using the original swfobject.js display method it will not work, as Brian suggests switch to the code he is using and you should be OK.

And this is where my knowledge base ends. I need to know how to set it up and where to put that code.
At the point where I feel stupid.

this is my html code (which I did post in another thread about a similar problem)

<OBJECT classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"

Assuming I have to replace my code with yours (with my page) I will tomorrow when I get to school

Thanks.

just replace your code that loads the wdl with my code…only that part…in your index.html (or index.htm) file on your web site

and or course change the URL to the xml config file (and its name) to your url etc

Could not get my data to work with your code.

So pasted your code before mine. and it would not bring up yours but had a white box.

I right clicked 'allow flash". My data came up on my computers. Not the best fix for now but I will keep working on your solution.

With my limited code experience-Sometime I want to give my Teamviewer to a code expert and let them do the work.

edit:I just set the percents to 0 to force the running of Flash.
2. Tech said he was having flash issues district wide.

Still do not understand how to get graphs to work on steel gauges. Above my pay grade.

I am still having problems.

Firstly, using Google Chrome with the options 'Flash Ask (default) set, if I go here: http://www.weather-display.com/windy/gb/flash/

‘Click to enable Adobe Flash Player’ appears. I click on it, allow Flash and it works.

I have added your code:

<OBJECT classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
 codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,0,0"
 WIDTH="90%" HEIGHT="90%" id="wdlv6_09.swf" ALIGN="">
 <PARAM NAME=movie VALUE="wdlv6_09.swf?http://www.weather-display.com/windy/wdl_config2.xml">
 <PARAM NAME=quality VALUE=high>
 <PARAM NAME=wmode VALUE=opaque>
 <PARAM NAME=bgcolor VALUE=#FFFFFF>
 <EMBED src="wdlv6_09.swf?http://www.weather-display.com/windy/wdl_config2.xml" quality=high bgcolor=#FFFFFF  WIDTH="90%" HEIGHT="90%" NAME="wdlv6_09.swf" ALIGN="" 
 TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash" PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"> </EMBED>
</OBJECT>

to my website here: http://217.199.187.197/otronics.co.uk/Weather/html/crt_live_data.html (but adjusted the code to my URL’s)

I load the page, ‘Click to enable Adobe Flash Player’ appears. I click on it and allow Flash but nothing happens.

I am so almost there.

What am I missing?

can you post the code snippet you have changed to?
you could always change to using the steel gauges
this has been warned that problems with flash will occur for a year now and has been recommended to change to the steel gauges (html5 based)

Hi, possibly because the wdlv6_09.swf is in the parent directory i.e weather/ but your WDL page is in weather/html/ and the code is expecting it there?

Good catch Martyn, I looked for the .swf and didn’t find it…

Good catch indeed.

That has fixed it - thanks!
