    Posted: 14 November 2007 at 1:15am
I want to use a flash header for my forum, i tried uploading both the index.html file, and the flash file .swf, but the image won't show.
 
 
Does the header upload permit it even? If not how do i get around this? i'd really like to usse the same header for my website and forum, and it is a flash one, in a swf. file.
 
I've uploaded the whole folder and linked to it, but the image won't show. The normal picture image does show, but i dont want that.
 
Thanks for any tips.

Just to add to the above problem, when i try adding a gif, or jpg, it works, the header shows through, however my problem is getting the flash file to work. In the configuration where you add your personalised logo, i added this link which is the link to my flash file. It works on the internet, however it won't show in the web wiz forum. I have modified the link below, so it's not the real link but looks like it,
 
 
in the folder flHeader2, there is an .swf file which is the flash movie. Basically the index.html is the link which includes the .swf file.
 
Does anyone know how i can make this work in WEb wiz forum 8?
 
thanks in advance

A Flash file is not the same as regular image. You cannot put them into a webpage in the same way as a regular image.

If you open the "/images/flHeader2/index.html" file into notepad and copy the contents into here, i can tell you what you need to enter and where to enter it the Flash file to work.

For you information, if this is the link to the flash file
 
then the forum is in the
 
I think i tried copying the folder which holds all the flash file paraphenalia and adding it tto the forum folder, in the images, hoping that puttingit in the same folder may make it work. I'm not html literate, and am totally novice, i use dreamweaver 8 but only know the very basics.
 
Would it be better if kept the flash folder "flHeader2" in the "forum" folder somewhere? or doesn'tit matter?
 
Much appreciated, thank you.

i noticed that the width is 750, so it would probably be best to stick it in the header.

the header can be found in: "forum/includes/header.asp"
load this file into Notepad, you should see the following:

<script language="javascript" src="includes/default_javascript.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

</head>

<body>


enter below that the following:

    <center>
      <object
        classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
        codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,79,0"
        id="index"
        width="750" height="133"
      >
        <param name="movie" value="../images/flHeader2/header.swf">
        <param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF">
        <param name="quality" value="high">
        <param name="allowscriptaccess" value="samedomain">
        <embed
          type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
          pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"
          name="index"
          width="750" height="133"
          src="../images/flHeader2/header.swf"
          bgcolor="#FFFFFF"
          quality="high"
          swliveconnect="true"
          allowscriptaccess="samedomain"
        >
          <noembed>
          </noembed>
        </embed>
      </object>
    </center>


based on the locations you gave me above, i have set the link to the file up. if you wish to move the flash file you will need to change the parts in red to reflect this, both parts in red need to be the same.

If you have changed the background colour of your forum or it is different from white, you may wish to change the colour to the one you used in the part that is green above.

I am having the same problem with my Flash header for my site. Here is the code that I have placed in the header.asp page. I put the swf file in the includes folder but it won't work. Removing the javascript also won't work. I have to have all this code on my other HTML pages for the Flash header to function properly. Any clue what I could be doing incorrectly?
