Wanted: Service .swf help needed

[domain newbie]

hello, I'm having troubles in uploading flash banner, seeing empty window instead, i remember from somewhere, that i need to upload some kind of .swf file in to directory for the banner to appear, if anyone could quick help me with some link or info please

many thanks

The .swf file is the flash banner, you'll need to upload the .swf file to see the banner.

i have uploaded my .swf banner in to previous .gif banner's place, but seeing only empty window, what is the proper method of including .swf files then?

 

[nts]

Use this code where you want the flash banner to appear:

<object width="changeme" height="changeme">
<param name="movie" value="changeme.swf">
<embed src="changeme.swf" width="changeme" height="changeme">
</embed>
</object>

thanks for help nts, will try that one, should i replace bannername.swf
with "changeme" and numbers with width/height="changeme"?

 

[nts]

Yep, change changeme.swf to the file name, and changeme to the desired height and width.

Do you have macromedia flash installed on your machine?

Do you have macromedia flash installed on your machine?

yes

Below is the full code to place a flash object on a page. This will ensure users that do not have flash are prompted to install the flash plugin (it's rare now, but it does happen). This is for a banner that is 468pixels wide by 60 pixels high. Change the path/to/filename.swf to the correct path and filename for your file.

If this does not work. Please post the URL for the page you are working on so we might be able to see what the issue is.

<object classid="clsid27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0" width="468" height="60">
<param name="movie" value="path/to/filename.swf">
<param name="quality" value="high"><param name="LOOP" value="false">
<embed src="path/to/filename.swf" width="468" height="60" loop="false" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></embed>
</object>

does the server you are hosting on have the swf mime type? on most linux accounts you can add it with .htaccess, otherwise request it to be added from the hosting company server admin

Can I configure MIME types on my Linux Hosting Account?

You can configure MIME types on your Linux hosting account using a .htaccess file. When you configure MIME types in your .htaccess file, you associate file types with a specific application or action.

For example:

AddType application/x-shockwave-flash swf
AddType specified you are adding a new mime type (file type).

application/x-shockwave-flash is the actual mime parameter specs.

swf is the extension of the file type.

like said before, telling us the url would help.
