I have this code in my header.html:

Code:

<img src="themes/subBlack3dBlue/forums/images/htop.gif" width="100%"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%" height="44">


   <tr>


   <td width="100%" height="44">[color=red]<img src="themes/subBlack3dBlue/forums/images/logo.gif" border="0" alt="$sitename">


** i take out the reference to the Image, and put my flash code, here but it dosent work.[/color]





$showbanners</td>


    </tr>

and i have this code for my flash file, i cant figure out how to intergrate it:

Code:

<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"


  codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=5,0,42,0"


  id="Movie1" width="1000" height="44">


  <param name="movie" value="Movie1.swf">


  <param name="quality" value="high">


  <param name="bgcolor" value="#375982">


    <embed name="Movie1" src="Movie1.swf"


     quality="high" bgcolor="#375982" swLiveConnect="true"


     width="1000" height="44"


     type="application/x-shockwave-flash"


     pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"></embed>


</object>

I hosted my flash file in the same directoy as the header.html file.

Thanks for the help!

under normal situations this should work...

Your path in the code should look like..
themes/subBlack3dBlue/Movie1.swf
And where to put the movie is obvious...

I thought you have to put escape char. in there some where, since its in a echo statment. (I read that somewhere else)

I have this, but it wont display the flash:

<img src="themes/subBlack3dBlue/forums/images/htop.gif" width="100%"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%" height="44">
<tr>
<td width="100%" height="44">

<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=5,0,42,0"
id="withsmallerlogosfadingin" width="1000" height="60">
<param name="movie" value="Movie1.swf">
<param name="quality" value="high">
<param name="bgcolor" value="#336699">
<embed name="withsmallerlogosfadingin" src="Movie1.swf"
quality="high" bgcolor="#336699" swLiveConnect="true"
width="400" height="60"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"></embed>
</object>

</td>
</tr>

Huh?
You wrote...you put the flash file in the same directory as the header.html..
So its with html files...(the theme) so why the echo statement ?
That goes in php..

Oh ok, because i just read that in another forum.
But for some reason, it dosent work, all i do is remove the image tag, and put in the code the flash program makes, and it dosent work, just sits there and tries to load...

well the endless loading means it cannot find the movie,check your paths to the movie or remove it to another directory...

It works fine with i open up the file on my desktop, thats where i have the movie1.swf and the header.html

so i upload them to the same directory, but it dosent work hummmmmm.
