there appears to be a problem with loading flash swf files into joomla 1.5 when sef is enabled
i have a similar issue, my swf files wont load in 1.5 when sef is enabled. the only one that *will* load is on the home page, when the home page is accessed via just the directory name alone, without the index.php etc in the path.
i have tried the default sef in 1.5, and also 404sef and smartsef, they were all the same. i also have a menu link to the home page on the page bottom menu, and they make this link to a "second" home page, which contains some of the content of the actual home page, but not all of it
i also have gone back to using 1.0 because of this problem, so if anyone has a solution that would be great!!
its not a template issue its a joomla sef issue
forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?f=428&t=287343
this page has a suggested solution, of using an alias to your domain name (such as the servers ip address and any extra path necessary), and hard-coding the swf urls as complete absolute urls (with the http:// and the entire url to the swf file), rather than the relative path with just the file name as is common. the purpose of the aliased domain name is that apparently, joomla sees that your absolute domain name (to your own site) is to itself, and just replaces it with a relative path (that is, you end up back where you sterted).
so far it seemed easier to just stick with the 1.0 version - even though i had to add a database session handler to 1.0 to make it work on my web server, it still seemed easier!
the joomla 1.0 version of my site is www.linkworks.com.au/ , i have taken the 1.5 version down atm - Last Edit: 16 years 5 months ago by Simon Beer.

an update - my 1.5 site is under continual revision atm so it may not work if you look at it
if you want to replicate the problem, it is present in the latest rocket template (hyperion). i installed a fresh copy of hyperion joomla 1.5 with the rocket launcher. then i created an alias link to the home page in the "othermenu" at the bottom of the screen (so i could load the home page other than just by the hostname/directory name, but with the actual sef filename for it, which is necessary for the problem to occur on the home page - if there was flash on any of the other hyperion pages, you wouldnt need this step). then set the seo settings to on, click on home to refresh and then click on the new home link at the bottom of the page, and the home page will load *with the flash content missing*
surely someone somewhere has installed a joomla 1.5 site that has both sef and flash content?!?! .......

Hi Simon,
You are correct; I just tried to use 404sef without success. It puts the dynamic flash component on the front page - and appears to 'overlay' it so it does not appear to conform to a module space. The default sef does not work as well. While it would be nice to have sef paths, I find that the 1.5 is a better choice overall for me (even though the sef and dynamic flash does work in 1.0.15), so I am now relegated to the long, ugly urls.
If anyone has a solution, please share.
Derrick
