hs.swfOptions
Advanced options when showing
Flash content using hs.contentType = "swf".
Since version 4.0, while the basic options for a flash popup are taken care of by
hs.objectType,
hs.objectWidth and
hs.objectHeight, the swfOptions object lets you define all options supported by
swfobject. These options are, as defined on the swfobject website:
- version (string)
- Specifies the Flash player version your SWF is published for (format is: "major.minor.release"). In Highslide this defaults to "7" if nothing else is defined.
- expressInstallSwfurl (string)
- Specifies the URL of your express install SWF and activates Adobe express install. Please note that express install will only fire once (the first time that it is invoked), that it is only supported by Flash Player 6.0.65 or higher on Win or Mac platforms, and that it requires a minimal SWF size of 310x137px.
- flashvars (object)
- Specifies your flashvars with name:value pairs.
- params (object)
- Specifies your nested
object element params with name:value pairs. In Highslide the wmode param defaults to "transparent" if nothing else is defined.
- attributes (object)
- Specifies your
object's attributes with name:value pairs

Example
1) General setting to all Flash expanders
Put this in the head section of your page. This affects all expanders on your page. In this case we set a required version number higher than 7, plus we add a flashvar.
1a) In the first code block we include the empty variables just to show how they are defined:
<script type="text/javascript">
hs.swfOptions = {
version: "8",
expressInstallSwfurl: null,
flashvars: { foo: "bar" },
params: {},
attributes: {}
};
</script>
1b) or, the same statement without emty variables:
<script type="text/javascript">
hs.swfOptions = {
version: "8",
flashvars: { foo: "bar" }
};
</script>
1c) or, the same statement written line by line:
<script type="text/javascript">
hs.swfOptions.version = "8";
hs.swfOptions.flashvars.foo = "bar";
</script>
2) Specifically setting it to a single expander
<a class="highslide" href="flash.swf" onclick="return hs.htmlExpand(this,
{ objectType: 'swf', swfOptions: {version: '8', flashvars:
{ foo: 'bar' }, params: {quality: 'high'} } } )">
Display flash
