Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.1. Can't see if this module supports gif alternatives. Certainly it is bad practice to force users to download flash to view your clients' banners. On other systems I have used, the site administrator or banner ad manager can specify a gif alternative for each swf banner? How do I do this?
2. Can't seem to get flash banners to click through to the specified URL in IE6 - works in Firefox though? Does this require any specific click-tag in the swf file?
Am I doing something wrong or are these current limitations?
Please let me know.

jeremy commentedI've never used flash animations, so I really am unable to help you. Perhaps someone else is able to help... Patches would be most welcome.
Comment #2
jeremy commentedUpdating title to reflect that this is an issue with using flash.

deanypop commentedFlash Animations are STILL problematic -
We have a flash banner which opens two additional windows - the first is a drupal window with url "drupalpath/undefined", and the second is the target URL... Which we wanted to open in the ORIGINAL window.
There are no links set within the flash banner itself, so it's definitely drupal's/banner's problem...
And I understand that, without flash, you can't really troubleshoot this, but... Can you at LEAST make it possible to have targetless banners, so that we can build in onClick stuff into the flash itself, and control things that way (at least for flash-based banners)?
That would be exceedingly great, though apparently we'd lose the cool tracking info stuff for the flash banners?

wulff commentedI can't reproduce this -- I have tried with a couple of my own flash banners. Please e-mail me one of the banners causing you problems and I'll take a look.

deanypop commenteddoes anyone still use 4.5.x? I recommend closure due to general obsolesence.
