CC3200 Launchpad httpserver web page limitations.

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC3200, UNIFLASH

Hi,

   I modified the httpserver led_demo.html and added a flash movie a .swf file. The led_demo.html was able to play the flash movie at google chrome.

   However, when led_demo was saved at serial flash of CC3200 Launchpad, the flash movie was unable to play. It appears only as a white box at google chrome.

   Is there a guide of what are the accepted additions and modifications we can do to the internal web page of CC3200 Launchpad.

    Kel,

    I would be surprised that this has anything to do with the file being a flash file. The issue is most likely due to the way a flash movie will load depending on whether you are loading it from a file location (c:\folder\page.html and from a web server (http://webserver/html/page.html)

    Check out this post (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/392215/how-do-i-load-a-swf-via-a-url-in-html-object-and-or-embed-tag) for more details and also search the Internet, as this was a well know issue a few years ago. I do say a few years ago, as flash has pretty much stopped being used on websites, as iOS devices do not support it.

    Actually, I stand corrected. This is a limitation of the internal web server. It is of course a small web server for an embedded device, not a full blow web server.

    I refer you to the documentation, page 153, where it clearly states all limitations, including supported file types - http://www.ti.com/lit/ug/swru368/swru368.pdf

    3. Supported file types: .html, .htm, .css, .xml, .png, .gif

    My mistake, I should have looked at the documentation before posting.

    I am also correcting myself.

    After confirming further I did not load the flash movie at my earlier try. I thought by putting the flash file at httpserver images folder, the flash movie will also be saved in serial flash.

    I add the flash movie file at Uniflash "www/images/choudanse7.swf". After programming, the modified httpserver example program, I opened the webpage at my google chrome and able to see the flash movie playing.

    I am going to try next incorporating a much better toggle switch at the led_demo.html
