Changing the header graphic, by adding flash.  Bottom

  • I'm sure the person I need to talk to again is Mars, however, I'm not exactly sure where the right area would be.

    Mars, I'm attempting to take your headerback.gif and change it so it loads a flash banner instead. basically the flash takes your headerback.gif as a background, with some text effects in the foreground. However, when I plugged it into the theme.html where I thought I was supposed to, it didn't work.

    I was wondering if you, or any other flash savy people can pinpoint if I'm doing anything wrong, or if it's possible at all to work this way. I will link the Flash, as well as the code it told me to put in whatever HTML file it was going to.

    Code

    <OBJECT classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
      codebase="http://active.macromedia.com/flash2/cabs/swflash.cab#version=4,0,0,0"
      ID=Banner WIDTH=810 HEIGHT=44>
    <PARAM NAME=movie VALUE="Banner">
    <PARAM NAME=quality VALUE=high>
    <PARAM NAME=loop VALUE=false>
    <EMBED src="Banner.swf" loop=true quality=high

    </EMBED>
    </OBJECT>


    If you need to look at my site, http://www.houseinvisus.org is the URL.

    Perhaps someone here can see my error.
  • you need to be sure that the src is pointing to the correct location. for my flash, i put it in my theme's /images folder, then changed any reference to the .swf to banner.swf
  • I just put the swf in the root of the htmls.
