Thanks Mr.Sumitshekhawat7331 for your goodwill and professionalism which exceeds the finance crises. The code works perfectly! I am sending you the ocean of banner’s roses!
For the third time I have the last question, but probably the most difficult. The flash banner inbuilded in header overlap the submenu – dropdown menu (I am using nice menu module, gently modified theme garland).
Firstly I tried to solve the problem with the aid of z-index (nice menu, header region) – no success. Secondly with the aid of animation gif file, but the resolutions by gif animation is too poor (web216 palette colour) and size too large (800kb).
If you have the knowledge of this problem and are you able to leak it, I will not be bad till the end of my life.

Thanks

Hi,

I was trying to add a flash header to my page.tpl.php file using your method. But I still get a nasty error report, saying " Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '<' in C:\wamp\www\client1\sites\all\themes\custom\arts\page.tpl.php on line 39 "

here is my code

<?php
if(drupal_is_front_page())
   {
    <object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"

swf code within page.tpl.php

tachapeyre - March 13, 2009 - 09:50

Hi sumitshekhawat7331,

I tried to apply the same principle though applying the code you provided to a top banner rather then a header. A box was inserted in the right area though it remains white instead of displaying the actual swf banner. Do you have any idea how i could amend this? Here is the code I inserted:

                	<div class="bg-top">

<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,19,0" width="620" height="201">
      <param name="movie" value="images/bg-top.swf" />
      <param name="quality" value="high" />

<embed src="images/bg-top.swf" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="620" height="201"></embed>
    </object>
                   
                    </div>

hi use this code

sumitshekhawat7331 - March 13, 2009 - 11:13

hi just use this code

<div class="bg-top">

you have to correct this line

<param name="movie" value="themes/yourthemename/images/bg-top.swf" />

torn35 - March 31, 2009 - 05:27

Hi sumitshekhawat7331, I have been reading your advice and try to do the code as well. I seem to get a black box of where it is supposed to be. My flash functions with an xml file as well. The flash movie uses an xml to find the images of what needs to be added to the flash and then flash plays through those images. I am able to go directly to the flash movie i have uploaded to the site but i cannot integrate it into the banner that I would like. If you could please help me on this, I would greatly appreicate it. Thank you

hi torn35 do this, it will solve your problem

sumitshekhawat7331 - April 1, 2009 - 08:42

visit this site

http://www.xbox360preview.co.uk/

i have used these codes....

flash file ...

if (_root.XMLfile == undefined || _root.XMLfile == "")

{

    _root.XMLfile = "http://www.xbox360preview.co.uk/myphpfilename.php";

}

now code for myphpfilename.php which is called by flash file
which will generate an XML file output

<?php
header('Content-Type: text/xml');
$strHostName = 
$strDirectory = "slides";
echo(<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>');
echo("\r\n");
echo('<images>');
echo("\r\n");
if ($handle = opendir($strDirectory)) {
      // List all the files
      while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))){
        if($file == "." || $file == ".."){
            continue;
        }
	echo '<image><url>slides/'.$file.'</url></image>'."\r\n";      
		}
        closedir($handle);  
}
echo('</images>');
?>

and create a folder named slides and upload all your images it it, otherwise send me your site url and your flash(.fla) file i will configure it.
