Hi, I embedded a flash file on a custom block on a site i made see it here

You just need to use the embed tag, Ive never used swish before though but this is how I embeded a normal .swf file

<EMBED SRC="http://www.yoursite.com/theflashfile.swf" HEIGHT="height" WIDTH="width" </EMBED>


Hope this helps you out.

Hi, I embedded a flash file on a custom block on a site i made see it here

More advanced:

<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,0,0" width="*CHANGE_HERE*" height="*CHANGE_HERE*" id="" align="middle">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
<param name="movie" value="*CHANGE_HERE*.swf" />
<param name="menu" value="false" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<embed src="*CHANGE_HERE*.swf" menu="false" quality="high" width="*CHANGE_HERE*" height="*CHANGE_HERE*" name="" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" />
</object>


Make sure you look for "*CHANGE_HERE*" to apply your file name or size.

Hope this helps you out.

LOL Thanks. But I just used the Extended Code Hack in the download section to make life easier. But there is yet another problem that I just incountered. Since XOOPS has multiple pages my flash movie reloads if you click on a link. The Flash isn't anything more then a simple Audio Player with a Play and Stop button. Is there a way that I can make XOOPS a complete iFrames site? So that I can have my Blocks on the left and the content load in the center frame? If anyone can help me with this that would be GREAT!!!!

Hey yah thanks for the imput there sbkiller. That actually didn't work the first time when I tried that. I used Dreamweaver to insert the HTML into the Block, what all that I got was a white block. It was pretty strange.

Flash is extremely useful but is for adavance users.

You can make a 100% flash site and program with flash not just audio and play and stop button.

I'm going to learn it in my college, and I have already experience it with flash site.

Does your Flash thing work now? You know you can make it transparent background.

The code I just gave you include a disable menu which make it more simple. So other people can set the quality mode etc. All you see it's About Flash etc.

I am pretty good with Flash. The actual designing part..I can make a full Flash site no problem. But I have never made a XOOPS flash site. I suck at PHP it would take me so long that once I was finished. XOOPS 2.08 would be out lol

If you got the basis structure like getting information on SQL you can do anything with it.
