Hi,

I'm strugling to get some flash banners included in the header banner.

The flash file excists out of 2 files : the actaul .swf file, and an html file.

I gues that the html file most point to the
.../right folder/swf_file.swf but still it doesn't work.

This is the code of the html (which i tried to point to my swf file: http://elephantcoasttourism.com/web/images/banners/headbanner_1.swf)

<OBJECT classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
  codebase="http://active.macromedia.com/flash2/cabs/swflash.cab#version=4,0,0,0"
  ID=headbanner_1 WIDTH=473 HEIGHT=101>
<PARAM NAME=movie VALUE="/web/images/banners/headbanner_1.swf">
<PARAM NAME=quality VALUE=high>
<PARAM NAME=loop VALUE=true>
<EMBED src="/web/images/banners/headbanner_1.swf" loop=true quality=high
  WIDTH=473 HEIGHT=101 TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash"
  PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash">
EMBED>
OBJECT>


Is this the way to do this or does anyone has other suggestions?

Thanks,

Edwin

Hi edwin

You don?t need to write the code.

In the XOOPS banners manager, just point to where is your swf banner, ok?

eg. http://www.yoursite.com/images/banners/yourswfBanner.swf

Hi wcrwcr !

Thanks for your reply, but:

That's exactly what i've done in the XOOPS banners manager.
I've pointed to my banner like :
"http://elephantcoasttourism.com/web/images/banners/headbanner_1.swf", but that didn't work.
That's why I tryed to point the "VALUE" parameters in the HTML as well.

Any other suggestions anyone?


Thanks

There is a funny thing...

What u get on http://elephantcoasttourism.com/web/images/banners/headbanner_1.swf ?

i get a

Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /web/images/banners/headbanner_1.swf on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Apache/1.3.37 Server at http://www.elephantcoasttourism.com Port 80

Have you checked your chmod?
Try a 755
