Adding a .swf to bottom of a block (COMPLETED)

Involved Joined: Oct 09, 2004 Posts: 293

Im trying to fish a block made from concepts of several other blocksadding a swf in the lower part.
At the moment it needs clockcaander sql to call it even thu I have changed paths and stuff. I want to be able to remove the clockcalaner db and have it as a 'standalone' block.
I have edited it down to this but if I remove anything else or the db I either get a spave with no .swf showing or a black background.
Most what I have here so fat is from nuke how to... and post here.
This is the lower 1/2 of the block

Code:

} 


setTimeout('WorldClock()',1000); 


} 


window.onload=WorldClock 


</s~cript>";   





///above is bottom part of the top 1/2 of the block





global $prefix, $db;


    $result = $db->sql_query("SELECT lang, type, color, width, height, background, dir from ".$prefix."_clockcalendar");


    list($lang, $type, $color, $width, $heigth, $background, $dir) = $db->sql_fetchrow($result);


        


        if ($background == "0" OR $background == "") {


    $background2 = "transparent";


    $background = "#$background";


    }


    else {


    $background2 = "";


    $background = "#$background";


    }





$content .= "<TABLE width='100%' height='100' border=0 cellPadding=0 cellSpacing=0>


<TBODY><TR><TD align=left><center><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='$width' HEIGHT='$heigth'ALIGN=''>


  <param name=\"movie\" value=\"/images/blocks/WorldTime.swf\">


      <param name='wmode' value='$background2'>


    </EMBED></OBJECT></center></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>";


$content.="</tr></table></td></tr></table>";


?>

Remove these 2 lines
global $prefix, $db;
$result = $db->sql_query("SELECT lang, type, color, width, height, background, dir from ".$prefix."_clockcalendar");

Then convert this line
list($lang, $type, $color, $width, $heigth, $background, $dir) = $db->sql_fetchrow($result);
to
$lang = '';
$type = "";
$color = "";
$width = "";
$heigth = ""; // BTW, this is spelled HEIGHT
$background = "";
$dir = "";

Now, you will need to assign those settings values to use them.

Sweet..had a play with a bit of stuff there to
ended up with this, seems to work well.
Stiil trying to figure out the daylight savings stuff in the top 1/2 of the block thu..(dig dig lol)

Code:

/*


global $prefix, $db;


    $result = $db->sql_query("SELECT lang, type, color, width, height, background, dir from ".$prefix."_clockcalendar");


    list($lang, $type, $color, $width, $heigth, $background, $dir) = $db->sql_fetchrow($result);


  if ($background == "0" OR $background == "") { 


    $background2 = "transparent"; 


    $background = "#$background"; 


    } 


    else { 


    $background2 = ""; 


    $background = "#$background"; 


    } 


*/


///$lang = '1'; 


///$type = "0"; 


///$color = "0"; 


$width = "130"; 


$HEIGHT = "130"; 


$background2 = "transparent"; 


$dir = "images/blocks/"; 


////  Now, you will need to assign those settings values to use them. (from out of the table then delete table)


///Above fixed with help from  http://ravenphpscripts.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&p=52311#52311  





$content .= "<TABLE width='100%' height='100' border=0 cellPadding=0 cellSpacing=0>


<TBODY><TR><TD align=left><center><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='$width' HEIGHT='$heigth'ALIGN=''>


  <param name=\"movie\" value=\"/images/blocks/WorldTime.swf\">


      <param name='wmode' value='$background2'>


    </EMBED></OBJECT></center></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>";


$content.="</tr></table></td></tr></table>";

As an aside, for security purposes, you might want to throw this in there...

Code:

<PARAM NAME=\"AllowScriptAccess\" VALUE=\"never\">

No reason to encourage XSS on your website! Wink

This isn't exactly to the point, but if you read between the lines, it will give you a general overview of the situation.

Bottom line: ALWAYS add this to your Flash scripts... Wink

Thanks m8...when I look at code, I sort of understand what it is doing...the basic principles...
So I did put it at the end in the mean time, more good guess than management lol
I can do that with music to. I know this sounds strange, but to actually right code or play music...even English, the grammar side, I'm not to bad at when writing official reports and letters...but the spelling is atrocious.

I do googles etc and play around off and on over several weeks before posting anything.
This thread the stuff u guys have added and explained is the most simple AND COMPLETE explanations of how to add a flash to a block anywhere I can find.
I dont give compelements...I just state how I see it ok.
Thu I realy apreachiate the help guys...not just here but in other posts to.
