I have a flash header that accesses a folder in the root and builds a play list of movies it will random, is there some thing in VB that is keeping this SWF from running, It works flawlessly on a html test board, and on a phpBB board, but when I add it to the header template in VB it will no longer work, I am at a total loss as to why.

Thanks in advance for any help,

no VB does nothing to .swf file banner, just re-check if you made any mistake

Well it even plays on the VBadvanced Portal, and not on the forum index, could there be some thing causing a conflict?

I was right,

<param name="movie" value="/forum/koww_mininav.swf" /> point to your forum folder, hence if you are in

Trust me, it’s not the wrong path and I just checked it on another site, its definitely some thing with VB.

The theme isn’t finished so excuse the mess, I am still setting it up and designing it.

Here is the site,

xxx

And here is a cut and past of the header template code into a demo html page, as you can see it works fine.

xxx it will link to xxx which is not there.

also remember to change your data="/forum/koww_mininav.swf"

and for this to work with the frontpage, enter the full path to the swf file.

Fixed it, had to set the path in the SWF also, can you remove the links to my site that are in your post.

thanks for the help, some one can delete this thread.
