Problem with Flash Header

**chalfontgifts** · 25 Sep 2008, 10:50 AM

Hi

I Am using Aleo Flash Intro Banner Maker to produce my flash banners.

This package is able to create swf files with a transparent back ground. I cannot seem to get the html code that I place in the banner setup correct. This is the code I currently have to display a banner, although not sure if this could be cut down to be simpler.

<script type="text/javascript" src="includes/templates/chalfont_common/swfobject.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var flashvars = {};
var params = {};
params.play = "true";
var attributes = {};
WMODE="transparent"
attributes.align = "middle";
swfobject.embedSWF("images/banners/shopheader.swf", "myflashfile", "728", "90", "9.0.0", "expressInstall.swf", flashvars, params, attributes);
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="myflashfile">
<a href="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer">
<img src="http://www.adobe.com/images/shared/d...ash_player.gif" alt="Get Adobe Flash player" />
</a>
</div>

This is the code that Aleo Flash Intro Banner Maker creates.

<object classid="clsid

27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub...ersion=8,0,0,0" width="728" height="90">
<param name="movie" value="test.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="wmode" value="transparent">
<embed src="test.swf"
quality="high"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
WMODE="transparent"
width="728"
height="90"
pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" />
</object>

How can I integrate the transparent code into the existing code to make this banner transparent.

Regards
Laurie

Without viewing exact url of your site, difficult to advise
BUT

Code:

includes/templates/chalfont_common/swfobject.js

not correct..should be

Code:

includes/templates/chalfont_common/js/swfobject.js

Visited site..flash in header, possible flash banner on
right hand sidebox...viewed in both IE7 and Firefox3.
so exact problem is?? Or is it not on your site yet
so can view?

OK the header banner, I want to have this set at transparent background, so that when the winow is reduced in size, it does not get the box edges showing, ie the baground shows through the flash image.

Understood..
never used transparent mode for swf.
Is it not possible to use header background for
background of your swf banner or viceversa

Hi,
after reading 19 page of this thread, still have some problem with my header becoming flash from pic.

here is the history of my problem:

I bought a zencart template my web site from http://www.zencartshop.com/. And I am very happy with this template.
I downloaded nnez_flo_20061013 and installed it to my template. Then I've tried this code :
<?php echo get_flashed('bg_header_right','900','260'); ?>
And it works perfectly in Classic Contemporary Green template.
But when i am swiching into my custom template it shows header pic as it was before(nothing changed).

I noticed some differences in the structure of my CSS files and tpl_header.php(custom template tpl, not default one):

1. There is a only one stylesheet.css file in Classic Contemporary Green template. But in my template there are 6 not one *.css files:

print_stylesheet.css
stylesheet.css
stylesheet_boxes.css
stylesheet_css_buttons.css
stylesheet_main.css
stylesheet_tm.css

AND one of them (stylesheet_tm.css) contains line regarding to my site header(bg_header_right.jpg).

Here, the part of my stylesheet_tm.css, relating to the header:
...

#mainWrapper {padding:0 0 0 0;}
.main_width {margin:0 auto; width:1250px;}
ul {list-style:none; margin:0; padding:0;}
.in20{ padding-bottom:20px;}
#header { background:url(../images/fill_header.gif) 0 0 repeat-x;}
#header .row{ width:100%; height:263px;}
#header .bg_header_left{ background:url(../images/bg_header_left.gif) 0 0 no-repeat;}
#header .bg_header_right{ background:url(../images/bg_header_right.jpg) right 0 no-repeat; width:100%; height:313px;}
#header .links { float:left; width:100%; color:#4967A0; font-size:11px;}
#header .inside_links { padding:16px 400px 0 25px;}
#header .links a{ color:#4967A0; font-size:11px; line-height:18px; text-decoration:underline;}
#header .links a:hover{text-decoration:none;}
#header .nav { float:left; position:relative; width:400px; margin:0 0 0 -400px;}
...

2. About tpl_header.php:
this is a part from my template tpl_header.php file:
<div id="header">

<div class="bg_header_left">
<div class="bg_header_right"> <?php echo get_flashed('bg_header_right','900','260'); ?>
<div class="row">
<div class="links">
<div class="inside_links">
<?php #HEADER LINKS START ?>
<a href="<?php echo HTTP_SERVER . DIR_WS_CATALOG ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CATALOG; ?></a> | 

<?php if ($_SESSION['customer_id']) { ?>
<a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_LOGOFF, '', 'SSL'); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_LOGOFF; ?></a> | <a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_ACCOUNT, '', 'SSL'); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_MY_ACCOUNT; ?></a> | 
<?php
} else {
if (STORE_STATUS == '0') {
?>
<a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_LOGIN, '', 'SSL'); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_LOGIN; ?></a> | 
<?php } } ?>

<?php if ($_SESSION['cart']->count_contents() != 0) { ?>
<a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_SHOPPING_CART, '', 'NONSSL'); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CART_CONTENTS; ?></a> | <a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_CHECKOUT_SHIPPING, '', 'SSL'); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CHECKOUT; ?></a>
<?php } ?>

<?php #HEADER LINKS END ?>
</div>
</div>

MY QUESTION: WHERE SHOULD I PUT THIS CODE:

<?php echo get_flashed('bg_header_right','900','260'); ?>

AND SHOULD I CHANGE ANYTHING THAN TPL_HEADER.PHP FILE???

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR HELP!!!!!!!!!!!
