 |
|
Hello
I have just made a flash intro to my site with a program called SWF Text. It produced the movie for me just fine. When I open it it works just fine. The problem I have is I dont know where to add it to my website. My home page will open after the intro finishes playing. It gave me some code but I dont know what to do with it. Here is the code.........<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="600" HEIGHT="800" id="flash intro" ALIGN="">
<PARAM NAME=movie VALUE="flash intro.swf"><PARAM NAME=quality VALUE=high>
<EMBED src="flash intro.swf" quality=high WIDTH="600" HEIGHT="800" NAME="flash intro" ALIGN=""
TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash" PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer">
</EMBED></OBJECT> |

hello lloyd 
You should rename your homepage to home or page etc and embed your intro in your index page.
In case you're using html and working with tables your index.htm should look like that :
| Code: |
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>
<body>
<table width="600" height="800" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" align="center">
<tr>
<td width="600" height="800" align="center" valign="middle">
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0" width="600" height="800">
<param name="movie" value="flash_intro.swf">
<param name="quality" value="high">
<embed src="flash_intro.swf" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="600" height="800" name="flash intro"></embed>
</object>
</td></tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>

try not to use blanks in your .swf filename "flash_intro.swf" and use these " " everywhere.
Is your homepage loading automatically after the intro is finished or do you have an 'enter' link?
oh and try to decrease the height of the intro so you don't get any scrollbars. |

| Thanks for your reply. My homepage does load automaticaly after the intro. I am a bit confused about renaming the home page though. If i rename it will my othert pages link to it and i tried putting the intro in my index page and it was loading both the intro and my homepage , is this because i havn't renamed it? When the intro finished it linked back to itself and played again. Thanks for your help |

| Yup the homepage and the intro should be on different pages, otherwise the intro will load over and over again.. And you will need to update the links on the other pages too, so they link to the homepage and not to the index. |
