I am trying to figure out why the viral-2 plugin, fullscreen and link only work when using Javascript. When using the <embed> option fullscreen does not work and the viral-2 menu does not show up at all. I am using a config file to call the plugins but I get the same results when I call them in the embed code.
The code can be seen here...

Any ideas?
Hobbs,
Thanks so much for your help and clarification.
Also, I still get the plugin problem when using Internet Explorer with the <embed> option. Is this normal?

I can't figure out why the embed element won't run the viral-2 plugin. Maybe because the embed element doesn't enable the JavaScript API?
I don't use the embed element much because of that.
I'll keep working on it, but for now, you will have to use SWFObject for embedding your Flash content.
Gotcha!
Thanks Hobbs
You can't have break tags "<br />" in the middle of your embed code.
<embed<strong><br /></strong>src='http://halomontage.com/jw/player.swf'<strong><br /></strong>
width='800'<strong><br /></strong>
height='650'<strong><br /></strong>
allowscriptaccess='always'<strong><br /></strong>
wmode='transparent' <strong><br /></strong>
flashvars='file=http://halomontage.com/jw/playlist-h3m.xml&config=http://halomontage.com/jw/config-h3m.xml'<strong><br /></strong>
/>
The embed code should be all on one line and it looks like you simply forgot to put allowfullscreen="true" in your embed code.
<embed src="http://halomontage.com/jw/player.swf" width="800" height="650" allowscriptaccess="always" <strong>allowfullscreen="true"</strong> wmode="transparent" flashvars="file=http://halomontage.com/jw/playlist-h3m.xml&config=http://halomontage.com/jw/config-h3m.xml" />Also, the JW FLV Player doesn't have transparency, so using wmode=transparent will only introduce you to all of the bugs that show up when using the Adobe Flash Player in wmode=transparent.
