Re: [TYPO3-english] Beginner Needs help getting his Flash Banner to work

Aaron Murray Fri, 02 Apr 2010 04:32:00 -0700

I got some help from Experts Exchange, and after I had given absolutepath values for the .swf files etc. It worked. This is the explanation

that I received.

"

The problem is that Flash automatically sets a virtual base directory towhere the HTML file that's embedding the SWF is not the location whereyour SWF file exists... So, originally you were trying to load a SWFfrom path/to/swf, but all other corresponding files were searched fromthe root where the HTML file is...So, we basically set the BASE parameter to the location of the SWF fileso that it will be looking for files from the given directory...


Well, that's the gist of it...

I`m not sure but if you map something the content inside is cleared so
you need to insert it.
you can insert banner as a html code or install some plugin like macina_banners

Hi!

I am pretty new to website design and typo3 but have been working with it
for a couple of weeks now.

I bought a pre-made template which has a flash banner at the top, and
uploaded all the folders and files (js/images/html/css/swf) in the same
directory order as they were given to me.

When I create a new site/template using templatevoila and preview the
website template looks as expected. However when I finish the mapping
process, and selecting the html headers to include (I include the scripts
for the swf) the finished product doesn't include the flash banner.

Everything else displays as it should be, but the place where the flash
banner should be is empty, no error message or anything.

Can anyone help me? Its probably a beginner mistake.






Here is the code of the html file I use for a template:

                var attributes = {};
                attributes.wmode = "transparent";
                attributes.id = "slider";
                swfobject.embedSWF("cu3er.swf", "cu3er-container", "960",
