A full description of the issue:

Hi everyone,

The website with problems is http://www.keilorroadniddrie.com. I have created a flash image header, which works on the index page - but doesn't show up on any of the mod pages. If you right-click on the white space in the mod pages (such as business directory), it says "movie not loaded".

If anyone could point me in the right direction to fix this, it would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

Since the html for these pages is the same, I think some directory specifications are wrong. Try to use more absolute in stead of relative specifications, by starting the path with a / or using full URI in the URL's.

I'm sorry but I'm unsure what you mean.

From the source code for the "header" file of the theme:

<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,0,0" width="1002" height="245" id="header" align="middle">
    <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
    <param name="allowFullScreen" value="false" />
    <param name="movie" value="http://www.keilorroadniddrie.com/header.swf" /><param name="quality" value="high" /><param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff" />    <embed src="http://www.keilorroadniddrie.com/header.swf" quality="high" bgcolor="#ffffff" width="1002" height="245" name="header" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" allowFullScreen="false" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" />
    object>


Everything related to the flash object are already full URLs, so I don't see why it's having trouble loading the file on the module pages.

I don't know what is wrong, but when something works in the theme for the root (/), but not for /modules/mxdirectory/, then mosttimes it is a directory specification problem.

Ah that makes sense. However, do you have any idea how I might be able to fix it if it's a directory specification problem? I'm not even sure where to begin to look!

I used to have a gif header that worked fine, but since changing it to flash, it just doesn't want to work. I've been trying to figure this out for weeks, and have gotten nowhere.

Any help is much appreciated (more than you believe!)

I'm not in flash, but I assume your swf is not a standalone, but uses also other files (with problematic URL's).

Nah, it's just the one file, nothing else to it. It only has a rotating photo in the header, which is why is a swf, because a gif file was too big.

Okay, I've gone back and tried a number of things, mostly around making everything full URL's I can find in the file, but to no avail.

I have a feeling it comes down to the javascript file that goes with the .swf file (AC_RunActiveContent.js), because when I changed the location of that script, the pages where the header image isn't showing up had a pop-up box appear saying it needs AC_RunActiveContent.js to run.

When the page can find the script, it just comes up with a white space where the .swf should be running.

I'm still yet to figure out why this is working on the index page, but none of the mod pages. I have only been editing theme.html - if there are other files I should be editing please let me know.

I'm running out of ideas on what I'm doing wrong.

Try to add the swf file and AC_RunActiveContent.js to your modules...
