Flash or animations on ablecommerce?

Post by jdpatterson74 » Sun Sep 07, 2008 7:00 pm

Is it possible to use flash within able? I placed this code in the ~/Custom/Header folder on my dev site, and test_animate_logo.swf in ~/Assets/WebSitePicture folder. I have played around with it, but it did not work.

Code: Select all

<html>
<head>
<title>test_animate_logo
</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>
<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" leftmargin="0" topmargin="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0">
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,0,0" width="350" height="99">
	<param name="movie" value="test_animate_logo.swf">
	<param name="quality" value="high">
	<param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF">
	<embed name="test_animate_logo" src="~/Assets/WebSitePictures/test_animate_logo.swf" width="350" height="99" quality="high" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer">
</object>
</body>
</html>
Thanks,

I have tested your HTML code with a simple flash file and it worked fine. Make sure that you are applying the modified header properly.

Flash as well as animated GIF's work just fine in Able, I use them quite a bit. Have you been able to do what you want to do?

Are you putting all the html code- the body, html tags, etc in the header? The page already generates those- try just putting the object section in.

Just use the following part of the code in your header to put the flash

Code: Select all

<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,0,0" width="350" height="99">
   <param name="movie" value="test_animate_logo.swf">
   <param name="quality" value="high">
   <param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF">
   <embed name="test_animate_logo" src="~/Assets/WebSitePictures/test_animate_logo.swf" width="350" height="99" quality="high" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer">
</object>
