Placeholder Flash question... please help

[msheesha]

Hello All,

I created my placeholder but now I want to insert a Flash Slideshow which has HTML CODE as well as the following 4 files... .swf, .html, .xml and images.
Is this possible? How?

Thanks!

What is the function of the non-Flash files?

Hello Gary,

Thank you so much for responding.
The non-flash files are to run the following flashgallery: http://aleosoft.com/flashslideshowma...o_gallery.html

[gwpriester]

OK. But what happens when you just use the Flash *.swf file?

It appears that the HTML and other non-flash files are part of the page you linked to. Is that correct?

Did you create your gallery on that site?

If so, could you simply link to that gallery?

[msheesha]

Nothing happens when I use the .swf.
I would like the gallery to be imbedded in the home page.
It a software that puts out HTML code and those files to be used for the Gallery to function.

I'm not familiar with that particular slideshow maker software msheesha, but other I have used including this one I just installed and tested, work fine when using the .swf embedded into a placeholder.

Please open the attached .zip and then load the .xar file in Xtreme5 and preview the site.

Perhaps you would like to zip up your flashslideshow output files so that we can have a look to see how it differs and possibly find a solution for you?

Okay Sledger... thank you so much for looking this over.
I have attached the zipped files.

Hi msheesha,
All you need add to the placeholder is:

<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0" width="897" height="498">
<param name="movie" value="slide.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" />
<param name="wmode" value="transparent">
<embed src="slide.swf"
quality="high"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
WMODE="transparent"
width="897"
height="498"
allowFullScreen="true"
pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" />
</object>

Make certain your placeholder dimensions match (897x498)

See attached zip file which contains a .web file (open in Web Designer or Xtreme5) and exported 'working' site files.

Thank you Sledger!
I will try it.

Sledger,

It didn't work. I inserted the code for the placeholder. Then I uploaded the site server. Then I placed all those files in Public html folder on server. NADA!

I know I must be doing something wrong
