Hi

Thanks for the help. Unfortunately, I still can't get the Flash header to load. As per your instructions this is what I did:

<div id="header"> <object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.ca b#version=6,0,29,0" width="690" height="115"> <param name="movie" value="themes/blix/banner.swf" /> <param name="quality" value="high" /> <param name="wmode" value="Transparent" /> <param name="menu" value="false" /> <param name="scale" value="noscale" /> <embed src="themes/blix/banner.swf" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="690" height="115" wmode="Transparent" menu="false" scale="noscale"></embed> </object> </div>

The error log did not indicate anything. I would be grateful for any other tips.

Thanks

CAL

Hello,

You most likely need to give it the full path, something like themes/blix/banner.swf so that it will load.

If that fails check your error log on your server and it will tell you want it is trying to load.

I am currently using the BLIX theme. I have tried other themes but no luck. This is what I have done on the “page.tpl.php”:

Original code:

<div id="header">

  <h1><a href="<?php print url() ?>" title="<?php

print($site_name) ?>"><?php print($site_name) ?></a></h1>

  <div class="slogan"><?php print($site_slogan) ?></div> 

</div>

Flash embedded:

<div id="header">

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

codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.ca b#version=6,0,29,0" width="690" height="115"> <param name="movie" value="banner.swf" /> <param name="quality" value="high" /> <param name="wmode" value="Transparent" /> <param name="menu" value="false" /> <param name="scale" value="noscale" /> <embed src="banner.swf" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="690" height="115" wmode="Transparent" menu="false" scale="noscale"></embed> </object>

</div>

The “banner.swf” is in the Blix theme folder. I will use any theme in order to get to Flash play. Do I need a special module (ie; media module or banner module) to play the flash file? Do I need to specify the .swf as a node or do anything special with the .swf file? I would appreciate any working advice and I am sure other Drupal newbies would too. Thanks.
