Sorry about cross-posting this but I originally asked this question in the CSS section (my mistake):

I've looked through the FAQ and various forums looking for the answer but didn't find what I needed to know:

Where (what line) do I put flash into my theme.html? (I use the "phpbbstyle" theme) Is this the right file? Or does it belong in my index.php?

What I'm trying to do is insert a flash intro to our site (nothing exotic, just something clean and simple) and here's what I have for code:



Do I have the .swf in the wrong directory? I'm just not able to get this to work and need some advice (I'm about as "newbie" as you can get using Flash on a site). Thank you.

Hey Cavan what exactly do you want to do do you want the flash to be the first thing your users see and they then have to click on part of the flash to eneter the site?

Or do want them to see you site and incorporate it as part of your XOOPS site??

If you want it as part of your XOOPS site you can simply make a block add the weight to wherever you want it be at the top or bottom in the center or on left wherever and just paste that code for your flash into the block make sure smilies are enabled and set the proper group permissions for that block where only unregistered members see it or everybody sees it.

If yu want the flash to be a whole page that people see before they even reach your site and they have to click something on the flash to enter your site well then thats where it gets a bit more involved.

You need to make a folder in your root directory named whatever wish it to be named. Put your entire site in that folder then put that code into a notepad name it index.htm and then place that into your Root Directory also then you change your mainfile.php as your xoops_path has changed thats the basics of what needs to be done but I am not totally sure what that flash does if we were able to see it and if you described a bit better exactly what you wanted to do it be a bigger help.

Kiwiguy,

Yes, we were thinking of adding a flash intro page to our site but as I mentioned, I'm a "newbie" when it comes to flash. I downloaded the trial of Macromedia Flash MX 2004 but I'm at a loss with what do do with the .swf file I have (from a site that generated a free flash intro for us). Do I have to have my host change the homepage or redirect for this for us, or is there a way for me to do this on my end?
