Just out of interest, to follow on from my previous posts, does anyone have any experience, good or bad of "Ruffle".
It is a flash emulator which enables content previously viewed in Adobe Flash to be viewed through browser add ons/extensions.
In past years there has been some negative comments on the web about vulnerability and security.
Now it is available from the Chrome Web Store, Mozilla & Microsoft for their respective browsers (Chrome, Firefox & Edge)
Does that suggest it now has some credibility and has overcome any flaws?
Thanks for that Joe and the tutorial. I will check out the panel slider - the User Manual also covers it. Also I Included two smaller java script galleries when I set up the site so can refresh my memory on how I set them up - so that is also an option for the main gallery.
When I set up my website I included a Gallery of 70 Photos which used Adobe Flash player. Since Adobe stopped supporting Flash I uninstalled it (like many other users). I am wondering if it is worth installing an alternative flash player for myself and putting a note on the site about using alternatives. Does anyone know of a safe alternative flash player? Is there actually such a thing as a safe flash player!?
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thank you Alfred- I followed your advice and problem resolved.
Both YouTube video clips can now be seen through the embedded links on my website.
Cheers, Paul
Thanks for that. I will check out about the "s".
And thanks for your welcome.
Main reason I search sometimes is to check my occasional uploads are successful (and sometimes to look at it with my grandson).
Yes I go directly to the website by entering the site address in a browser address bar.
As regards the IPAD yes I use Safari which successfully plays the video clips from the links on the website. So no need to use Firefox or any other browser for that.
The issue is that the links to the videos don't show on the website when looking at it through any of the browsers on windows laptops.
Hi,
I uploaded one of the videos directly to U Tube and then copied the URL address & pasted it into my website - just as you say and also as explained on page 177 of the WebPlusX6 User Guide. The second video was uploaded to U Tube by someone else and I copied and pasted it in the same way.
I have been able to see them both in my website, through my web browser, for years until they disappeared sometime recently.
And yes I can still see them on IPAD, in my website by the U Tube links which are embedded in my site.
There seems no logic in why they can be seen on IPAD but not in web browser on laptop.
The X6 software also indicates they are correctly embedded because they can be watched in the "Preview Site" icon.
I set up my "hobby" website about 12 years ago and embedded links to two short U-tube videos on X6 software.
Looking online at my website recently I noticed that both videos have disappeared.
I re-added them to my X6 software and uploaded them again.
I searched again online using Edge, Chrome and Firefox but still missing.
Looking at the X6 "Preview Site" - on all 3 browsers the videos are clearly shown and play.
Also if I look on line on my IPAD the videos are there and play!.
Does anyone know why the videos are missing when I log on through my Windows 11 laptop
and can anything be done to rectify it please?
Any help much appreciated.
