XWD Web Properties Placeholder

**steve.ledger** · 02 July 2009, 10:25 AM

put the name of the Flash file in the "Replace with Flash" option.

Monoslideshow needs a bit more than just entering the .swf name in the 'Replace with flash' field.

It's needs to first call the .js from the <head>

So you need a small placeholder with the name <head> applied and into it place the script code:

<script type="text/javascript" src="swfobject.js"></script>

This can be placed off the page on the grey pasteboard area.

Then the actual swf movie uses another script in a placeholder on the page where you want the slideshow to appear:

<script type="text/javascript">
var fashvars = {};
var params = {};
var attributes = {};
swfobject.embedSWF(
"monoslideshow.swf", "fashContent",
"480", "360", "9", false,
fashvars, params, attributes
);
</script>

Though there's even more you might need to do for customization.
Ther Monoslideshow PDF manual can be downloaded here.

Personally, it seems a bit convoluted when Picasa can create something similar for free and much easier.

I have several flash movies in a site im working on.

The trick for me has been to make sure that the movie file itself (the flv file) and its controller file (which is a swf file and a js file) be manually placed in my root directory both in my desktop set of files and in the remote web server as well.

I had no problems getting one Flash movie working on a page. However, when I duplicated the page, uploaded a second set of Flash files and tried to enter the new name in the 'Replace with Flash' box, the new name could not be saved. I could only get the second page working by manually editing the HTML.

Any ideas?
