Hello guys,

I would like to use a .swf file as background for my vBulletin, but I have absolutely no idea what I have to do to make this work. I tried to add it via the stylevar "doc_background", but nothing happened, does anyone know what's wrong?

Thanks in advance!

Best regards,
Fields

You do realize that that will add a tremendous amount of load to the site correct?

As far as nothing happened, did it change at all from what you had originally?

It just displays a white background after linking to the swf file.

I am no sure, are you sure the location to the image is valid?

Only time I did a swf file was for my header, and it did work correctly, never tried one for the doc-background.

A flash object bg isn't going to impress anyone, it will only annoy them. It will also slow down pageload tremendously.

Is it really worth all that, to satisfy your own ego basically?

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
