Hi All,
I've just had a report of Prezi videos not working in our Mahara - the video comes up with a "Start Prezi" button but that button does not function. I've tried it with both IE and Firefox but no go.

The embed code comes out as this:

<object width="550" height="400"><param name="movie" value="http://prezi.com/bin/preziloader.swf?prezi_id=bplj8khq8fal"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="never"></param><embed src="http://prezi.com/bin/preziloader.swf?prezi_id=bplj8khq8fal" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="550" height="400" allowscriptaccess="never"></embed></object>

And simply pasting that into a simple html file still gives me a non-functioning button. Could this be a Mahara issue or could it be at the Prezi end?

We've got Mahara 1.7.1 installed, but looking on launchpad and a quick bit of googling shows that not many people are reporting this issue - maybe there's not that many people using Prezi.

Any ideas?

Cheers,
Scott

Hello Scott,

When I add your Prezi to a Mahara page in Firefox, I get a tiny address bar acknowledgement that the page is using Adobe Flash and whether I want to allow or block. Even when I click "Allowing", nothing happens (Firefox 24 on Ubuntu; I don't see any icon in Firefox on Mac). It also doesn't work when I embed the code in a plain html page.

I added a bug at https://bugs.launchpad.net/mahara/+bug/1239928

Cheers
