I tried changing my code in navigation_buttons.inc to what is above, but no page or movie loads. When i right click on where the movie is meant to be it just say no mvie loaded.

I have tried changing the title file in Admin section an even changing the above code to include the path of the file, but both give the same result.

Any ideas

Using ver 7.5

I wanted to use the logo in the upper left still and then just make a simple little flash movie file for the top under the sign in icons and right above the forum?  Hopefully that makes sense:)  I just wanted to clarify this for everyone.

 

Thanks,

Lo

wistexs way is a quick way to do the same thing (and I run a forum using this exact method of the banner for it) but with the nav includes, you can configure the flash banner from within the admin.  Both ways do exactly the same thing but just make sure that you dont make it too wide or all your icons do weird stuff.]]> Mon, 15 Dec 2003 03:57:43 +0000 https://forums.webwiz.net/adding-flash-to-the-top-of-my-forum_topic8020_post41401.html#41401 <![CDATA[Adding flash to the top of my forum : It won&#039;t show the logo if...]]> https://forums.webwiz.net/adding-flash-to-the-top-of-my-forum_topic8020_post41345.html#41345 Author: wistex

It won't show the logo if you don't enter one in the forum configuration area.  And depending on how big his eye candy is, it might not actually fit where the logo goes.  He didn't say how big his eye candy was.  Does it go all the way across the page or is it the size of a logo?  We don't know.  The size and purpose of his eye candy will detemine whether he would use my method or Paul's method.

It just depends on what you are trying to do and the style of your website.  You can't simply say one way is wrong and another right without knowing all the facts.

On our website we have both the forum logo and a header and it turned out quite nicely.  It depends on his site and what he is trying to do.

includes/navigation_buttons_inc.asp

Find

Response.Write("<a href=""" & strWebsiteURL & """ target=""_self""><img src=""" & strTitleImage & """ border=""0""></a>")

and replace with

response.write ("<object classid=""clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"">&l t;param name=""movie"" value=""" & strTitleImage & """><param name=""quality"" value=""high""><embed src=""" & strTitleImage & """ quality=""high"" type=""application/x-shockwave-flash""></embed>< /object>")

You might have play with width and height formatting to get it looking nice though. Dont forget to change the path to your logo (in admin) to the .SWF as well.  Notice that I didnt put in the a href code as Im not sure that you can href a flash swf file.  If you can so that, then put

<a href=""" & strWebsiteURL & """ target=""_self"">

after the very first ("

and

</a>

immediately before the last ")

So what file would I need to edit to place a flash file at the top of my forum to add alittle eye candy?  And maybe some links with the flash files.

 

Thanks,

Lo
