SWFObject and Historymanagement?

[shapeshifta]

Hi there,
is it possible to use both, history management inside the application and swfobject to embed it?
Did not succeed in trying this.

Regards.

Are you getting javascript errors when you use the two together? If you describe the problem or error you're experiencing I might be able to see if I've encountered something similar before.

Tried this but it did not work...

Are you using SWFObject 2.0 off Google Code ?

And the errors you're getting? Saying "it didn't work" isn't going to get the bug fixed very quickly.

[shapeshifta]

nope.
the html-template is modified in the given example to work with the supplied swfobject.
it works nevertheless but no history management although it is included in the template.
with the normal flex builder template, everything is working fine.

so, I wanted to know if it is really possible to use with swfobject with the history and how to do so.
I just have this one example and I have absolutely no clue how to do it in another way as they provided.

OK. Are you using the Prototype library with this? Are you getting any JavaScript errors, or is it just failing silently?

[shapeshifta]

I don't get any errors.

you mean, I need to include prototype? sacre bleu! 
I just downloaded the example and thought it would work.

It's implementing the $ notation for index.template.html, but if you've got prototype in history.js then you should be OK (according to the article), although my French is rusty. If you're getting no JavaScript errors then that would suggest that it's not going to be related to the absence of prototype.

Have you looked at SWFAddress 2.0 as an alternative to HistoryManager? I believe the guys over at deconcept are actively supporting it.

I had a look at swfaddress and tried it. I could not get it to work with the viewstack component. SWFAddress seems to be the solution to my problems.

I wish I had more time to have a look at this...
