sIFR 2.0.6: Flash 10 Compatibility Release

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.

  1. 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!

  2. 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})); };

  3. Alan, you’re confusing v3 with v2. You’re already using v3, so don’t downgrade to 2.0.6! :)

  4. 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.

  6. After updating the page, do the text replacements again.

  7. 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!

  8. 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 www.grafiskdebat.dk/sifr/ it works fine.

    Can you help me? What am i doing wrong?

  9. Hej Niklas, that sounds like something you should ask in the forum. Hilsen,

  10. 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 | 3 September 2008, 17:33 | link

  11. @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 onRollOut callback is a FlashInteractor object, which has the changeCSS method.

  12. 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

  13. hello,

    is it possible that the config file is missing in this zip archive?

    have a nice day, stephi

    stephi | 8 October 2008, 13:16 | link

  14. 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.
