Re: How do i display .swf ads/banners/images in a xoops site?

I use SWF files on my site for my Tutorials Section. I link to it from the WF-Sections module.

Here is an example of the code I use:

<HTML>
<BODY><center><OBJECT CLASSID="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" WIDTH="900" HEIGHT="720" CODEBASE="http://active.macromedia.com/flash5/cabs/swflash.cab#version=5,0,0,0">
<PARAM NAME=movie VALUE="http://www.yoursite.com/modules/Modulename/folder/SWF/newbb_upgrade.swf">
<PARAM NAME=play VALUE=true>
<PARAM NAME=loop VALUE=false>
<PARAM NAME=quality VALUE=low>
<EMBED SRC="http://www.yoursite.com/modules/modulename/folder/SWF/newbb_upgrade.swf" WIDTH=900 HEIGHT=720 quality=low loop=false TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash" PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash">
EMBED>
OBJECT>
center>
BODY>HTML>


Similar code could be used in other places.

HTH.

So where exactly do i put this code? In my theme.html or? And if so where in the page does it go? Between the tags or?

That all depends on where you want it to show. Of course if you add it to the theme you would cut the < html> and < body> tags as they would already be defined in the theme. I have had problems getting flash to show in the theme in firefox.

HTML custom block, cut the same tags as they would be defined by selecting html in the block. My code is used to insert within a module.

HTH.

So then if i put this code in the actual custom block ive created for the omni festival 2005. Then select display HTML? This should work is that what your saying?

Yes. Without the < html> tags. I am not 100% sure whether you need the < body> tags or not.

Yes, I made a folder to put my swf files. In the code the "value=" and "src=" need to be full path to the swf file.

Correction. I am wrong.

Use entire code in custom block including all tags. Just checked an old one I made a long time ago for a test.

Sorry for the misdirection.

Well you scored 100% for helpfullness, 100% for speed, and you have solved all my questions. You can see the flash banner display on http://www.shangrilala.co.uk.
Thanks a lot.
If your interested i can see if i can get you a couple of tickets at a discount if you fancy going to a festival in May.
I don't expect you to want to but its just a thought.
