Anyone know anything about Flash?

**Cori** · 04-18-2008, 11:33 PM

I have several .swf's that I would like to add to my site, so they can replace some current images, but I can't for the life of me figure out the coding to make it work

I use Dreamweaver and tried that way, but it didn't work. Does anyone have any idea how I can do this?

TIA

Hopefully this will work!

Code:

<object width="SOMEWIDTH" height="SOMEHEIGHT">
<param name="movie" value="FILENAME.swf">
<embed src="FILENAMEAGAIN.swf" width="WIDTHAGAIN" height="HEIGHTAGAIN">
</embed>
</object>

Thanks Will!! Wow, that was really easy to do!!! Now will my members have to install activeX in order to see it? Or will they even be prompted?

You can see what I did Here

ETA: would you happen to know how to make it loop?

Your welcome!
I dont think they will have to install activeX i think they just need to have flash player.

As for the looping it would be inside the .swf that determines that so you would have to edit the .fla.

ok sounds great! Thank you very much again!

Most browsers have Flash installed by default - let me know if you need help with a .fla to get it looping.

Thanks! I decided to not make it loop, I thought one time for each page was good enough, plus I don't have the .fla files for these. All of the pictures came default with the template.

Thanks again though for the offer!
