adding flash header...

[ROUBOS]

Hi,
I have created a flash header banner for my site, using xml to read images files and load them.
When I add this to my index.php, it does not display the flash.

Do I need to do something more than writing the files names in the templateDetails.xml file?

How do I embed the .swf flash banner?

thanks

fix the path's to absolute

my flash file is at the same level with the index.php file.
this is how i embed it:

ok added the files.. and it now does not run because it says in a popup message that : "This page requires AC_RunActiveContent.js."

I do have that file there....

do i need a flash module to be installed or something?

google it and you will find that file... is widely available...
look at your object tag .. to see where you must place it.

OK thanks.
I managed to get it to play by adding: <?php echo $mosConfig_live_site; ?>/templates/mytamplate/ to the path of the files.

problem is that it does not load the xml file to load the images for my ActionScript3 slideshow.

Do I need to edit the ActionScript 3 to access the files using this path: <?php echo $mosConfig_live_site; ?>/templates/mytamplate/ ?

i don't think that actionscript will parse this <?php echo $mosConfig_live_site; ?>
write the full url or a relative path

../templates... etc
./templates...etc
templates.. etc 

depending where is the action script placed

As I say above, use absolute paths, don't use php inside the flash or xml.

On your xml file. :

http://www.mysite.com/templates/itselxis3/headimage/image1.jpg
...
http://www.mysite.com/templates/itselxis3/headimage/image2.jpg
....

etc.

headimage = the folder which you uploaded the images.
