variable within a flash object echo string

[alpharay]

Could someone help me crack this issue.

 

I am trying to insert a variable into an flash object echo string's src. I've try many variations but can't figure it out. Below is the code.

 

cheers

<?php

$var = 'map.swf';

 

echo ' <OBJECT ID="map" CLASSID="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"

CODEBASE="http://active.macromedia.com/flash2/cabs/swflash.cab#version=2,0,0,0"

WIDTH="50%" HEIGHT="50%">

<PARAM NAME="Movie" VALUE="map.swf">

<PARAM NAME="Play" VALUE="false">

<PARAM NAME="Quality" VALUE="best">

<PARAM NAME="swLiveConnect" VALUE="true">

<PARAM NAME="loop" VALUE="false">

<EMBED NAME="slav" SRC=" map.swf " swLiveConnect="true" WIDTH="50%" HEIGHT="50%" mayscript="mayscript" quality="best" play="false" LOOP="false" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash2">

</OBJECT>';

 

echo "<br/>";

echo $var;

echo "<br/>";

 

?>

Variables are not interpolated in single quoted strings.

 

<?php
$var = 'map.swf';

echo ' <OBJECT ID="map" CLASSID="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" 
CODEBASE="http://active.macromedia.com/flash2/cabs/swflash.cab#version=2,0,0,0" 
WIDTH="50%" HEIGHT="50%">
<PARAM NAME="Movie" VALUE=" $var ">
<PARAM NAME="Play" VALUE="false">
<PARAM NAME="Quality" VALUE="best">
<PARAM NAME="swLiveConnect" VALUE="true">
<PARAM NAME="loop" VALUE="false">
<EMBED NAME="slav" SRC="' . $var . '" swLiveConnect="true" WIDTH="50%" HEIGHT="50%" mayscript="mayscript" quality="best" play="false" LOOP="false" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash2">
</EMBED>
</OBJECT>';
?>
