Hi everyone,

I'm a Drupal newbie so I'm not quite sure if this can be implemented our not. Anyway my question is how would I go about integrated a .swf file into a custom made region that I have already defined in the .info file and made the necessary decelerations in the .tpl.php file (I'm using Drupal 6)?

Would I be able to do that through Views? For example setting it up as a block? Or do I need any other modules like SWF Tools? I would only like the flash to be displayed on one page would embedded the file through the .tpl.php file make it static?

Any help or topic similar to this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Yes that is exactly what I have in mind. How do I go about integrating flash similar to what is presented on your site?

Thanks for the help.

Not sure if anyone else has gone about it this way but it has seemed to work really well for me, i haven't installed any modules to get this working it is simply html code in the body section of the specific area,

For example this is the code i used for the to flash items:

<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,28,0" width="200" height="50">
  <param name="movie" value="sites/default/files/qlikview_logo.swf" />
  <param name="quality" value="high" />
  <embed src="sites/default/files/qlikview_logo.swf" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="200" height="50"></embed>
</object>

And then i added my text underneath with some <br > tags its quite an easy way to do it.

Hope it helps?

I dont have much idea regarding themes in drupal. Will this html script can be included for customization of theme. I want to customize theme provided by drupal repository "marinelli" by introducing a ".swf file".

So where i can include this script as i tried with rotate.php inside the marinelli/img/banner folder.

Thanks in advance
