Flash Animation

[vbtrev]

Hi, I seem to be having a problem getting flash to show on the main page. Flash is installed and i use it all the time, so i know my pc can show flash files.

 

I have the code in but it only shows an X, if i put an image name with .gif or .jpg the image shows, if i put .swf the X appears, the swf file and the .gif&.jpg are all in the same folder .

 

Here is the code for the images these work fine

 

<table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="5" cellpadding="2"><tr><td class="main" valign="top">' . tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'default/phone_single.jpg', "Telephone") . '</td>

 

 

for the flash mx .swf i changed it to this.

 

<table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="5" cellpadding="2"><tr><td class="main" valign="top">' . tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'default/phone_single_ani.swf', "Telephone") . '</td>

 

this just shows an x.

 

I have spent the last 4 days searching the forum, there are no references to this, hence my posting.

 

Many thanks for your help in advance

Hi,

I was just looking through your code, and I think that I can identify your problem. Flash is called up differently than regular images. Unlike regular images which use a <img src = Flash must be embedded. There's an easy to use contrib at that will walk you through this at

It's really only a matter of creating a duplicate html_output.php file setup for flash and then referencing the new file whenever you want to include flash.
