Replace pngs/gifs with swfs?

**Sp32** · 9th Apr 2011, 05:10 PM

Hi, when I am trying to replace images such as my logo on my site with a swf image it doesn't work it just throws random errors and loading issues at me, does anyone know how to make it work?

I'm good at coding in vb 3 but I am using vb 4 now and everythings changed in it's locations.

You can't just replace it.. You gotta embed that .swf..

Yes...SWF needs to be embeded.

I prefer images or flash, just makes the site load slower.

and if I can use CSS instead of images than I use that instead.

Well there maybe some flash players out there that can read a local/remote image defined in a XML/TEXT file, but the the code will still have to be embedded.

Thanks Cory but that was kind of unrelated to my question, I have the automatic code what gets produced by Flash when you publish the image but I am unsure exactly where to embed it. I'm also assuming I have way too much code?

Code:

    <head>
        <title>Untitled-1</title>
        <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
        <style type="text/css" media="screen">
        html, body { height:100&#37;; background-color: #ffffff;}
        body { margin:0; padding:0; overflow:hidden; }
        #flashContent { width:100%; height:100%; }
        </style>
    </head>
    <body>
        <div id="flashContent">
            <object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="652" height="113" id="Untitled-1" align="middle">
                <param name="movie" value="Untitled-1.swf" />
                <param name="quality" value="high" />
                <param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff" />
                <param name="play" value="true" />
                <param name="loop" value="true" />
                <param name="wmode" value="window" />
                <param name="scale" value="showall" />
                <param name="menu" value="true" />
                <param name="devicefont" value="false" />
                <param name="salign" value="" />
                <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
                <!--[if !IE]>-->
                <object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="Untitled-1.swf" width="652" height="113">

Try:

Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> Common Templates

Yeah, you don't need all that code;

**Sp32** · 9th Apr 2011, 05:30 PM

Thanks Cory but I'm still unsure on how to do it.

**Cory** · 9th Apr 2011, 06:03 PM

Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> Common Templates

Goto, header

Find:

PHP Code:


<div><a name="top" href="{vb:raw vboptions.forumhome}.php{vb:raw session.sessionurl_q}" class="logo-image"><img src="{vb:stylevar titleimage}" alt="{vb:rawphrase x_powered_by_vbulletin, {vb:raw vboptions.bbtitle}}" /></a></div>

Replace:

PHP Code:


<style type="text/css" media="screen">

#flashContent { width:100%; height:100%; }

</style>



        <div id="flashContent">

                <!--[if !IE]>-->

                <object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="Untitled-1.swf" width="652" height="113">

                    <param name="salign" value="" />

                    <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />

                <!--<![endif]-->

                    </a>

                <!--[if !IE]>-->

                </object>

                <!--<![endif]-->

            </object>

        </div>

Save!
