Can't get banner to load

**whitehind** · 06-17-2004, 08:16 PM

Hello,

I've have a small banner that I made long ago in Flash 4 and would like to upload it to show someone. The code I used before when I had it on a page doesn't seem to be working now. The banner doesn't load. I have the index.html and the drive-drunk.swf in the same folder (FLASH-DD)

If I use a URL with just the flash banner as the end of the addess I can view it online with the Flash 7 viewer: http://www.eburg.com/~zobrist/FLASH-DD/drive-drunk.swf
It is oversized without the code to size it. But when I use the code:
http://www.eburg.com/~zobrist/FLASH-DD/index.html
I get a blank spot.

This is the short code.
<!....<HTML>
<BODY BGCOLOR="#000022">

 
 
 
<center>
Just add some text & link that would show who put it up. 
 
 

<OBJECT

</EMBED>
</OBJECT>
</center>
</BODY>
</HTML>.....>

Can anyone tell me what I need to do?

Thanks for your help.

I am not really an expert, that is why when i want to include an swf on a flash file i do it in dreamweaver or any other visual html editor with declared flash compatibility.

the other option is publish your movie on html from flash and then edit the rest of the html from that source page..

not too good but i hope it helped.

I don't use an html editor but write all my code from scratch. Someone gave me Dreamweaver but I couldn't get used to it so went back to the hard way.

I haven't been on these boards for years so am not familiar with what you say about publishing from "flash"? Is there a place on this site to do that, where they check/correct the code or something? I could then do as you say and just cut and paste their code out of the source view in notepad.

Thanks for answering. I quit doing Flash because I didn't have enough time to devote to it so I am way way behind now. Several versions behind even...lol

to publish from flash just click on file>publish settings and check both the html and the swf boxes, then go to file>publish and on the directory where you keep the fla there will be both the swf and the html file, from there just edit that file with your notepad.

I posted a final reply yesterday but it didn't make it I guess.

Thanks for the help because I had not even opened my Flash program in years

and didn't remember how to do the html/publish thing. So now I have the code and it's right. Still didn't work though.

I had made a mistake in the url by putting "index.html" in the address. If I just put everything else before that in the address bar, the page opens and plays the movie...go figure?

This is enough: http://www.eburg.com/~zobrist/FLASH-DD/ but I was adding "index.html" to the end of this address and for some reason that made it not work. Same thing happened on Tripod.com where they "give" you your url so I had trouble finding the error. I'm just using my local server now.
