How to embed the myVR ActiveX/Plug-in

Some Internet Browsers have changed how they handle plug-in content so that user interaction is needed e.g. the user is required to click on the plug-in before they can interact with it. Usually, the browser will display a tooltip when hovering over the plug-in telling and informing the user with "Click to activate and use this control". The sample embed code for the myVR ActiveX/Plug-in listed below avoids this problem. However, this does make the embed code slightly more complex.

Copy and paste the sample code to embed the myVR ActiveX/Plug-in into your own web page:

This is an example of embedding the myVR viewer in a web page. This has been tested on Internet Explorer version 6, 7 and Firefox 2.0.0.9

This sample code will also automatically load the farm sample model and hide the toolbar.



<!-- Start of  myVR object !-->

          <!-- Load plugin from an external  javascript, this bypasses 'click to activate' in browsers !-->

          <!-- Remember to duplicate any  parameters for the noscript alternate below !-->

          <!-- This is not the shortest and  most elegant embed code, but is the only way we have found at present that  supports virtually all browser types !-->
  




          <script>

                   // Size and any param tags as javascript variables, remember to use the same  values below also.

                   var myVRsize = 'width="980" HEIGHT="640"';

                   var myVRaltText =  'http://updateserver.myvr-software.com/netsetup/install_help.php';

                   var myVRpluginParams = '<param name="url"  value="myvr://3d.myvr-software.com/farm/farm.myvr" />';

           </script>

          <!-- This outputs  the actual object !-->

          <script  src="helpers/myVRplugin.js">

          </script>

          <!-- Start of  alternate method for browsers with javascript disabled !-->

          <noscript>

          <!-- Nested object  tag to handle all browser types !-->

          <!-- The first  object tag is used by Internet Explorer, all version from 4-7 !-->

          <object  name="myVR" id="myVR"

                   classid="CLSID:F81002C0-2547-44F6-31B5-C2C500010001"

                   codebase="http://updateserver.myvr-software.com/netsetup/myvrax.cab"

                   width="980" height="640">

                   <!-- Parameter tags go here, must be duplicated below also !-->

                   <param name="url" value="myvr://3d.myvr-software.com/farm/farm.myvr"  />

                   <!-- Internet Explorer does not handle nested object tags well so we use  conditional !-->

                   <!-- commenting to hide the second object tag from Internet Explorer,  !-->

                   <!-- all other browsers will use the inner object tag !-->

                   <!--[if !IE]> <!-->

                   <object type="application/myvr" name="myVR"  id="myVR"

                           width="980" height="640"  class="hiddenObjectForIE">

                           <!-- Duplicate all param tags from above here !-->

                           <param name="url"  value="myvr://3d.myvr-software.com/farm/farm.myvr" />

                   <!--<![endif]-->

                           <!-- What to show if no viewer is installed at all. !-->

                           <iframe src="http://updateserver.myvr-software.com/netsetup/install_help.php"

                                   width="980"  HEIGHT="640" frameborder="0" border="0"  scrolling="no">

                           </iframe>

                   <!--[if !IE]> <!-->

                   </object>

                   <!--<![endif]-->

          </object>

          </noscript>

          <!-- End of  alternate method !-->
<!-- End of myVR  object !-->
