Adding flash movie to the Header

[radarhunter]

How can we add a flash (swf file to the header i mean where we have a logo

is there any way we can add a flash file in it`s place ?????

or if we can add one above it ???

you could simply just edit the header template and replacing the logo code with the embed tag for the flash file.

(or if you don't want to replace it, just add <!-- hide tags around it -->)

The correct way of embedding a flash movie would be not to use the standard embed tag, since this will show a 'white' border around embedded flash objects in quite a few browsers. If you use the 'old' way of embedding you will have the 'click to activate this control' popup if hovered over a flash object on any page.

You need to use the proper way, by using a flashobject call via javascript and using a flashobject write into the header. It may sound difficult, but its not. Check out the code I use on my modifications. You would need the flashobject.js call in your header, and place the flashobject.js file in the root of your forum. Obviously, adding the js call in your headerinclude template.

If you get stuck, PM me - I'll give you advice.

I need help with this as well...

I have three files:

1) .fla - original flash file
2) .swf - movie file
3) .txt - text file where the content of the flash file can be modified, simply by changing this text

Why can't someone just post a straight-forward "how to" instead of just generalizations...which is, basically, all I'm getting when I search for the term: adding flash logo

Really, don't you think it would benefit all who wanted help on this subject?

There are several threads in this forum relating to the issue, but NONE with a step-by-step method of doing this.

I know this forum is here for our benefit, however, when one posts a question, the person responding "assumes" the original poster has some knowledge on the subject...generally, this is not the case.

So...why can't someone...anyone...with the correct answer...post a "how to".
