Hello everyone!I am in desperate need of help.I want to add my flash banner has my main banner for forum.I think i have figured out that i need to get rid of the <img src tag in the html but how?I can get the banner to work sometimes but the wierd thing is that some people can see it and some cant.It happens to me too all of the sudden ill go to forum and bam its just the box with the red x.Ohh and by the way even though i am able to get the flash banner to show it always has the default.asp box.What do i need to to do to get this to work!!Also my forum is unpredictable i mean after i update the colors of forum and things like that some ppl cant see the color change for a day or so.What is the problem?you can view my source at http://www26.brinkster.com/mostdeviousking/db/default.asp

i'm not positive, but i believe the flash banner, assuming it is an swf file, must be displayed by loading it as a movie. see the following code:
<center>
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
codebase="http://active.macromedia.com/flash4/cabs/swflash.cab#version=4,0,0,0"
id="hpage" width="760" height="450">
<param name="movie" value="hpage.swf">
<param name="quality" value="high">
<param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF">
<embed name="hpage" src="hpage.swf" quality="high" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"
width="760" height="450"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash">
</embed>
</object>
</center>
note the line which contains the file to load:
<param name="movie" value="hpage.swf">
you must change this line to match the name of the file you are using, or change the file name.
also you will have to adjust the size, height and width in pixels, to match your banner.
but make sure you backup your original asp file before you try editing it.
thanks

I have a Flash logo in my portal, just click the link in my signature: tmiFinance
I also created some code to recognize if the main logo file is either Flash or GIF/JPG and adjust the code to load the image accordingly:
" <td height=""80"" align=""center"" valign=""top"">" & vbNewLine & _
"<font face=""" & strDefaultFontFace & """ size=""" & strDefaultFontSize & """><b>" & strForumTitle & "</b></font><br>" & vbNewLine
' ########### What kind of Logo file are we displaying? ###############
'########### Begin Flash Logo #####################
if lcase(Right(strTitleImage, 3)) = "swf" Then
Response.write" <center>" & vbNewLine & _
" <hr width=""70%"">" & vbNewLine & _
" <object classid=""clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"" codebase=""http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=5,0,0,0"" width=""" & strimagerotatortopwidth & """ height=""" & strimagerotatortopheight & """>" & vbNewLine & _
" <param name=""movie"" value=""" & strImageURL & "" & strTitleImage & """>" & vbNewLine & _
" <param name=""quality"" value=""high"">" & vbNewLine & _
" <param name=""bgcolor"" value=""" & strPageBGColor & """>" & vbNewLine & _
" <param name=""scale"" value=""exactfit"">" & vbNewLine & _
" <embed src=""" & strImageURL & "" & strTitleImage & """ quality=""high"" pluginspage=""http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash"" type=""application/x-shockwave-flash"" scale=""exactfit"" width=""" & strimagerotatortopwidth & """ height=""" & strimagerotatortopheight & """ bgcolor=""" & strPageBGColor & """></embed>" & vbNewLine & _
" </object>" & vbNewLine & _
" <hr width=""70%"">" & vbNewLine & _
" </center>" & vbNewLine
Else
End If
'############ End Flash Logo #####################
'########### Begin GIF/JPG Logo #####################
if lcase(Right(strTitleImage, 3)) = "gif" OR lcase(Right(strTitleImage, 3)) = "jpg" Then
Response.Write " <a href=""" & strHomeURL & """ tabindex=""-1"">" & getCurrentIcon(strTitleImage & "||",strForumTitle,"") & "</a><br>" & vbNewLine
Else
End If
'########### End GIF/JPG Logo #####################
Response.Write "</td>" & vbNewLine & _
It is coded to work with the image rotator mod as well, but if you are not using this mod just replace the height and width parameters in the two lines in the Flash routine:
width=""" & strimagerotatortopwidth & """ height=""" & strimagerotatortopheight & """
with width="350" height="200"
or what ever your file size is. |

A couple of remarks:
1- Do not ever again use an all-caps subject for your topic
2- Do not ever again reply to anyone using nothing but caps
Both make it look like you're some annoying 12-year-old that doesn't get what he wants fast enough and therefore throws a fit.
Also remember that the people who have tried to help you do that because they want to. They don't get paid or get anything out of it (other than feeling good when they've helped someone), and they defenately don't want to be treated like shoot.
When you reply to someone's post, you can and should talk about other people using their names rather than "that guy".
Saying that you're a "newbie" isn't an excuse for any of these things. It's common sense and etiquette.
Lastly, try searching next time. http://forum.snitz.com/forum/topic.asp?ARCHIVE=true&TOPIC_ID=36621&SearchTerms=flash,logo is one of the topics already on these forums that contain information about how to use a Flash animation as your forum logo. |

Please don't post in capital letters, it is not very polite. |

I installed the flash mod 3.4 and i can see the option in the admin panel to have flash enabled and i enabled it and saved settings.Now what do i do how do i embed the flash in the forum?It doesnt tell me how to do any of that.I have sucessfully installed many mods on my forum and this one is strange.No instructions nothing just where to put the add the codes and in what file and thats it.Why is that?
Anyway if someone could please tell what to do next that would be great thx in advance for your help |
