Help with skins and plugins
Aug. 05, 2009maxone
Am I being really dumb?
I installed the free player, no worries. I just downloaded the one that is currently on the front page so i presume it's the latest.
When I add the extra line to the code for either the new skin or the plug in, i get the "This div will be replaced" message instead. I copied all the files to the root.
as soon as i delete the extra line i get the error.
I'm using dreamweaver.
please please help!!
this is the url http://www.airbubblemedia.com/dev03/index.html
and this is the code

install flash player in your system.

There is an error in your javascript:
so.addVariable('plugins', 'viral-1');
so is not defined, s1 is defined.

Partially what Marten said.
First, to fix the Viral Plugin, you're defining the player with this variable declaration:
var s1 = new SWFObject('/player.swf','ply','470','320','9','#ffffff');
Anything you want to do TO this player must be applied to variable 's1'
you see that other parameters are being added thus:
s1.addParam('wmode','opaque');
but the example code upon which you pulled the viral plugin says:
so.addVariable('plugins', 'viral-1');
try changing it to:
s1.addVariable('plugins', 'viral-1');
Also, I'd move it to BEFORE the flashvars parameter.

Now, why it's not replacing the div:
This line:
s1.write('player');
Is trying to write to a div called player. Except your div is called mediaspace.
Change the code to this:
s1.write('mediaspace');
---
Lastly, why are you putting this all within an H1 tag?
