What do I do if I’m having problems with Flash showing through the ShareThis widget?

If Flash is showing through the ShareThis widget iFrame, you can either:

1) Disable the Flash while the ShareThis widget is in use by setting the “embeds” JavaScript element to false (default is false).Or…

2)Use the the “popup” JavaScript element where the ShareThis widget will instead display in a new popup window.

Below is an example of the ShareThis API procedure which includes the “embeds” JavaScript element:

<script language=”javascript” type=”text/javascript”>
SHARETHIS.addEntry({
title:’My Share Object!’,
summary:’Sharing is good for the soul.’},
{embeds:false});
</script>

Below is an example of the ShareThis API procedure which includes the “popup” JavaScript element:

<script language=”javascript” type=”text/javascript”>
SHARETHIS.addEntry({
title:’My Share Object!’,
summary:’Sharing is good for the soul.’},
{popup:true});
</script>
