Unfortunately, sIFR 2.0.6 did not resolve all issues. Please use sIFR 2.0.7 instead.
sIFR 2 fails to detect the Flash 10 player, and therefore falls back to normal HTML text. This has been resolved in sIFR 2.0.6.
If you are upgrading from sIFR 2.0.4 or older, you must upgrade the sifr.js JavaScript file and re-export your sIFR Flash movies using the sifr.fla file from sIFR 2.0.6.
If you are upgrading from sIFR 2.0.5, you must upgrade the sifr.js JavaScript file.
Detailed Description
sIFR 2 uses the same Flash detection that was originally used in its precursor, IFR, back in 2004. Unfortunately this detection script only expected single digit Flash versions, so it fails to detect Flash 10. This has been fixed in sIFR 2.0.6. Thanks to Giancarlo Gomez for pointing out the problem with the Flash detection.
Hi,
The download link is not working properly.
Cheers! Jorrit
Editor’s note: Ah yes, thanks for noticing! I updated the statistics software this morning, and I really should have tested the downloads… working again now!
Hi i notice there is a new syntax for customising the styles. In the old version i was able to do the following:
css: [‘strong{color:#fbcde5; font-weight:normal; font-size:75%;}’,’a:hover { color: #a60c46;}’ ]
how would i add that to the following?
sIFR.replaceElement(named({sSelector:”#maintext h2”, sFlashSrc:”js/sifr.swf”, sColor:”#b02167”, sLinkColor:”#000000”, sWmode:”transparent”, sHoverColor:”#CCCCCC”, nPaddingTop:0, nPaddingBottom:0})); };
Alan, you’re confusing v3 with v2. You’re already using v3, so don’t downgrade to 2.0.6!
Hello, I’m trying to run sIFR in cyrillic, but instead of characters (outside of a-Z 0-9 range) there only appears white spaces. Is this a problem with font, or anything else? Thanks for reply.
Editor’s note: You’re quite welcome to discuss this in the forum.

After updating the page, do the text replacements again.
hey can u please update this post and add how to apply sifr to a page. It will be very useful and time savvy for the users. Hope you take some action regarding this.
Editor’s note: I’ve added a link to the Wiki in the post. Thanks!
Hey! Love SIFr but i have a small problem, at http://grafiskdebat.dk/user/profil/1/ the header adopts the color from the background color in the div. I have defined the sColor in the javascript, but it looks like it is ignoring this. At http://www.grafiskdebat.dk/sifr/ it works fine.
Can you help me? What am i doing wrong?
Hej Niklas, that sounds like something you should ask in the forum. Hilsen,
Hello. I’ve been trying to do this unsuccessfully for a bit now… I was wondering how it’s possible to call
changeCSS()
from onRollOut for a specific Flash sIFR?
@Tod, aside from the fact that this isn’t quite the appropriate place for this question, as noted in the documentation the first argument to the
onRollOutcallback is a FlashInteractor object, which has thechangeCSSmethod.I’ve replaced the js file, I’ve exported the new swf files with the new fla file but now all my fonts are getting a green background have any ideea what’s wrong ? all browsers i’ve tested
hello,
is it possible that the config file is missing in this zip archive?
have a nice day, stephi
Marius, that sounds strange. I suggest you make a post with an example on the forum.
Stephi, sIFR 2 does not have a configuration file.
I just upgraded to the Mac final Flash 10 plug-in and all of my sIFR text has lost its transparency. I was using the Beta (10) before and everything was fine. Anyone else having this problem?
Just tried it here and couldn’t reproduce. Could you post a quick link to pages where you’re having the problem? You may also want to uninstall the Flash player, reboot, and then reinstall it. Perhaps something went wrong during installation. (This has happened before with Adobe updates.)
Happens to me too with Safari on a PC – Installing Flash 10 makes all sIFR text lose its transparency. (I’ve uninstalled before installing Flash 10.)
Here’s the page (I also posted this in the forum)
http://www.summerpointe.net.php5-8.websitetestlink.com/dev.html
I did an uninstall/reboot/reinstall of Flash and the problem still exists. Thanks for looking at it.
I can verify the problem with missing transparency mode in Safari on Win and Mac with new Flash Player 10.
The problem is, that for Safari the nFlashVersion return “0”. Therefore bHasTransparencySupport is set to “false”.
the bug is in sifr.js Line 272:
old: oReturn.nFlashVersion = parseInt(flashDescription.charAt(flashDescription.indexOf(“.”) – 1));
new: oReturn.nFlashVersion = parseInt(flashDescription.substr(flashDescription.indexOf(“.”) – 2, 2), 10);
Are you talking about version 2 or 3?
Aye, misread the reports last night. Marco is quite correct, I missed one Flash version check, which was only used by Safari. Looking at the v2 code is painful
Putting up 2.0.7 as we speak.
Thank you Mark and Marco for fixing this so quickly. Works perfectly now.
Awesome, I love your works guys.
I’m from an seo background & I can’t stress how useful & important this script is. Its great to finally be able to use the beauty of flash in website headers without shunning away search engines.
You could say you have married seo & flash! Awww, & its a lovely ceremony if say so myself!
Keep up the good work guys, and again thanks for the quick updates, I’m looking forward to playing with the new version later on
Hi
I’m currently using v2.0.7 and find that Firefox has issues when clicking links.
It sometimes takes two clicks and do not always show the hover state. Do I need to upgrade?
I am working with flash player 8
Cheers
Make sure you replace not the
but its parent element, so that theends up inside the Flash movie.
