TIA Julian :D A little knowledge is dangerous, I SHOULD KNOW. If Life Begins At 40, What ends????
nvedia Posted November 16, 2004 Posted November 16, 2004 Where have you uploaded the image file? Where is the swf file?
julianpuje Posted November 16, 2004 Author Posted November 16, 2004 I have uploaded it to my images folder with all my other gifs and jpgs Julian A little knowledge is dangerous, I SHOULD KNOW. If Life Begins At 40, What ends????
ozcsys Posted November 16, 2004 Posted November 16, 2004 I have uploaded it to my images folder with all my other gifs and jpgs Julian <{POST_SNAPBACK}> What does the link to the flash file look like? Are you sure it is looking in your imaages folder? The Knowledge Base is a wonderful thing. Do you have a problem? Have you checked out Common Problems? There are many very useful osC Contributions Are you having trouble with a installed contribution? Have you checked out the support thread found Here BACKUP BACKUP BACKUP!!! You did backup, right??
julianpuje Posted November 16, 2004 Author Posted November 16, 2004 This is where the image is looking (its a subdomain test-site, hence the long address)http://www.julianp.totallynew.leisurezone.co.uk/images/header/nu_fading_tables.swf and i have placed the nu_fading_tables.swf image in the header folder??? with all the other header images. This is the test site where the current header can be seen. With the swf missing. Any help please? Cheers Julian A little knowledge is dangerous, I SHOULD KNOW. If Life Begins At 40, What ends????
Guest Posted November 16, 2004 Posted November 16, 2004 In header.php the SWF embed should look something like this: <object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="https://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0" width="450" height="75"> <param name="movie" value="images/banner.swf"> <param name="quality" value="high"> <embed src="images/banner.swf" quality="high" pluginspage="https://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="450" height="75"></embed> </object>

Guest Posted November 16, 2004 Posted November 16, 2004 That's not the header file used on your test site. Pasted the header.php file from your test site, the name of the SWF's, and also the SWF sizes (height, width) and I'll see what I can do for you.
julianpuje Posted November 16, 2004 Author Posted November 16, 2004 That is the header.php file from my testsite. The lay out of this site is completely different to what i'm used to (not the std ms2.2).

julianpuje Posted November 16, 2004 Author Posted November 16, 2004 Thank for all your help chemo. That seems to work now, i think the image must be small that my brother has done, i'll have to check with him the size. I now have a new problem with the image, i can drag the image about using my mouse? cheers Julian A little knowledge is dangerous, I SHOULD KNOW. If Life Begins At 40, What ends????
Guest Posted November 16, 2004 Posted November 16, 2004 180x144 is a pretty small file but it looks a bit smaller than those proportions on my screen as well. Try adding this parameter under the quality parameter: <param name="SCALE" value="exactfit">
