SWF instead of Dolphin Flash

744 posts

Hi All:

Created a Flash to embed on the main page where the Dolphin Promo Flash Reader should go.

Added this html as custom :

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

</p></body></html>

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Now I see the Flash emblem that let's me know that I have added it under the tnymce html tab....but where is the correct directory to upload the files associated with this Flash.

I had them loaded under images, admin,....can't seem to get it right. Also tried where the big01.jpgs are located. ugh. Any ideas for this?

Most likely specifying a realitive path to your swf file should work.

Where myvideobanner.swf is, you have nothing in front, so that means it needs to be in your main directory. If you want it in a images folder then append the path in front of the file name like so.

images/myvideobanner.swf

Hope i am making sense.

In the admin panel in the Use Cutom HTML logo block under basic settings, this is all the code I have had to insert on working sites, to replace the promo block exactly. If you have altered size then you would have to alter the height and width accordingly in the below code. As for placement of the .swf file I chose the root directory, but you could do as mentioned above to place it in a more appropriate directory.

Thanks,

I've tried every single permutation of what was suggested in this forum.

I'm getting the same code appearing where the Flash file should appear, but with the menu bar blocking my logo.

Is this because I have a free version of Dolphin and not the ad-free version of Dolphin?

Your help is greatly appreciated as you all have crossed this path before.

Thank

Thanks, YouDidn'tDidYou.

I followed your step-by-step instructions - still having my logo covered by the menu bar, but the code no longer appears there. The Flash still does not appear there. Could it be that I don't have an ad-free version?

I had changed the main logo before I started Flash html coding. Could that be the problem, too?

try refreshing your browser after emptying it's cache, also might bean idea to delete the promo images off your server...

ad free does't make a difference.
