Flash next to image

[charmedbytina2]

I am working on a template and I need to get a logo.swf added to the left of the "logo". Most of the research I've done indicates the code needs to go in the tlp_header.phpb ut on this template I just don't think that would be correct.

Will someone take a look at this and offer up your suggestions?

Thanks!

charmed, i've been there recently. accomplished what you want to do.

You definitely want to add that swf to the tpl_header.php file for your custom template.

may I suggest you use the swf object method. You will need to download swfobject.js ( javascript file) and you can find more about that here:

http://blog.deconcept.com/swfobject/

i think follow that link tothe latest, which is version 2.0

once you have these, format your javascript like this :

<script type="text/javascript" src="swfobject.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var flashvars = false;
var params = {
allowscriptaccess: "always"
};
var attributes = false;

swfobject.embedSWF("myFlashFile.swf", "showFlash", "200", "200", "8.0.0", "expressInstall.swf", flashvars, params, attributes);

swfobject.addParam("quality", "high");
swfobject.addParam("wmode", "transparent");
swfobject.write("flashcontent");

</script>

// and then on the template, you place the div tag to position your swf: //

<div class="thisMYFlash" id="showFlash" >
<div class="myStyleSheetReferenceHere" id="myStyleSheetReferenceHereID">

You need flash. if you have it, you'll see the flash. if not, you'll see my text here. go get it, install it!!!
</div>
</div>


and that should do it. swfobject is the best bet for easiest flash embedding...
