Flash Banner on CMSMS

[huguix]

Hi there,

I'm running CMSMS on wamp server (PHP5 - Apache2 - MySQL5) and i'm trying to put an swf on my site's header. I've allready uploaded the swf file to the correct folder. Now i have to edit the "Layout: Top menu + 2 columns" css stylesheet on the header div, right? But i can't do it on the background tag where the gif or jpg information is.. It has something to do with an object tag, but where can i place it?

i know it's easy and must be a recorrent question...thks in advance,

keep up the good work!

The way I add flash banners is to put them into the template, within the "header" like:

Code: Select all

   <div id="header">

      <object
        classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
        codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,79,0"
        id="moviename"
        width="999" 
	height="99">
        <param name="movie" value="path/to/swf" />
        <param name="bgcolor" value="#6699FF" />
        <param name="quality" value="high" />
        <param name="allowscriptaccess" value="samedomain" />
        <embed
          type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
          pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"
          name="moviename"
          width="999" height="99"
          src="path/to/swf"
          bgcolor="#6699FF"
          quality="high"
          swliveconnect="true"
          allowscriptaccess="samedomain">
          <noembed>
          </noembed>
        </embed>
      </object>

   <hr class="accessibility" />
   </div>

Of course, you'd have to change the names, paths and dimensions in the above code to suit your needs.

funny thing is i use this exact same method to allow firefox and internet explorer to show the flash. but it doesn't validate

Yes, that method won't validate. If you're interested in validation, then you should use SWFObject to place your flash movies. It is available here:
