Help with Flash

[raznaran]

Hello,

I purchased a small program that makes Flash Banners. Once you create the banner, it gives you a .swf file and some html that is supposed to be posted at the location where you want the banner.

I created banner and loaded in in the main forum folder. I then took the html and pasted it into the signature editor and saved it.

I have html enabled for myself (admin).

I thought that would work but it doesn't.

I could sure use some help !

What is the html code and what is the location of the stuff you've uploaded?

Thanks for the quick responses, guys.

I should add that I use this same banner under "advertising" in the CP and it works fine. The .swf file is in the main forum directory.

Here is the HTML that I have:

<OBJECT classid="clsid27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"
WIDTH="468" HEIGHT="60" id="BMPF-wasabanner.swf">
<PARAM NAME=movie VALUE="wasabanner.swf">
<PARAM NAME=quality VALUE="high">
<PARAM NAME=bgcolor VALUE=#FFFFFF>
<PARAM NAME=wmode VALUE=transparent>
<EMBED src="wasabanner.swf" quality="high" bgcolor=#FFFFFF WIDTH="468" HEIGHT="60"
NAME="BMPF-wasabanner.swf" ALIGN="" TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash"
WMODE="transparent"
PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer">
</EMBED>
</OBJECT>
<!-- The following line is only needed once in the html after the last </OBJECT> -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="iefix.js"></script>

Try adding

<script type="text/javascript" src="iefix.js"></script>

In your headinclude and then the rest in your signature

Well, I did it. I added that line to the end of the headerincludes. I added the html to the signature editor and clicked save. I ended up with blanks in the previews. The blanks are adding up (three now for the three times I tried to do it.

Now I don't know how to get rid of the blank previews.

Remove the code from headinclude....i have never tried using html in my sig but im going to try....

Can you send me all the files? In an email? chopsuey at vbdiscussions.com i'll see what i can do.

[raznaran]

Thanks much. I just sent it.

I now have accumulated four rectangular boxes in the top preview part of the sig section of the cp. How do I get rid of that ? It's the result of me trying to save the html in the editor. Can I erase those blanks somehow?

I've already tried purging the sig cache.

Thanks again.

Err revert the template...

[raznaran]

If you mean the "headinclude", I did that. It is reverted. Just double checked.
