I've placed a flash object in my home page template here ...
http://www.theprocess.com/dev/cm/
It causes Opera to either crash or show nothing at all. It shows wacky results in firefox .. the flash is too small or at the bootom of the page.
IE 6 and 7 seems to be the only one that shows the page correctly. My client wants it to show similar results in all these browsers.
I've used fckeditor to place the flash and I've tried an iframe. Neither way worked across the board. Is there a different way to doing flash in cmsms?

For Flash, you should use swfobject.

Where does this script go within the cms made simple file structure? Do I put the code (below) in the template?
Code: Select all
<__script__ type="text/javascript" src="swfobject.js"></__script>
<div id="flashcontent">
This text is replaced by the Flash movie.
</div>
<__script__ type="text/javascript">
var so = new SWFObject("movie.swf", "mymovie", "400", "200", "8", "#336699");
so.write("flashcontent");
</__script>

Yes, or else I believe you may be able to put it in a Global Content Block with {literal} your code {/literal} and you may be able to put it in the Content: edit box the same way...

This part goes in your template header:
Code: Select all
<__script__ type="text/javascript" src="swfobject.js"></__script>
This part goes where you want the movie to show. If it's the same on all pages, then put it in the template. If not, put it in the page content or a GCB.
Code: Select all
<div id="flashcontent">
This text is replaced by the Flash movie.
</div>
<__script__ type="text/javascript">
var so = new SWFObject("movie.swf", "mymovie", "400", "200", "8", "#336699");
so.write("flashcontent");
</__script>

Okay, I understand where to put the code now but all the files in the swfobject zip ... where does it go? in the root?

I usually create a scripts directory under my uploads directory, where I keep custom scripts.
