Flash & CubeCart

[Guest]

ive created a short video (swf) file. ive uploaded it and gone onto the screen which allows me to edit the homepage (in admin). Then ive added the code

<object codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0" height="266" width="397" align="middle" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000">

<param value="web/shop/images/uploads/homeimage.swf" name="movie"/>

<param value="high" name="quality"/></object>

i think the code is correct as its displaying a white area where the swf should be. when i right click it says "movie not loaded". this confuses me as it is on the server. ive tryed uploading a few different times and into different folders (changing the code also) to see if that would fix it, which it didnt.

ive uploaded the swf the same way ive uploaded any of the images and they all work fine. its driving me crazy.

Hi. Not sure if this will help you however I had the same problem with Flash inside Firefox. Try adding the following embed tag to the end of your flash code:

CODE

<object codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0" height="266" width="397" align="middle" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000">

<param value="web/shop/images/uploads/homeimage.swf" name="movie"/>

<param value="high" name="quality"/>

<embed src="web/shop/images/uploads/homeimage.swf" width="266"

height="397" quality="high"

pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/

getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwaveflash"

scale="noborder"></embed>

</object>

Backup before you try it.

Cheers

Ive had a play and now the movie is working. in IE it works perfectly. but in firefox its playing but its croping the movie (cant view left or right edge).

dont think ive ever been so confused.

Thanks apollo. the problem i had with it not displaying correctly was the width and height were the wrong way round in the code you added.

thanks though ive got it working finally. now ive got the boring job of adding all the products and taking photos and adding payment info etc
