I am new to drupal. I've created a flash menu and uploaded it to drupal as a flash content. I've also created a block and have put it on right side of the main page. I want to add this falsh menu to this block (basically I want this flash menu to be displayed on the right side) . How do I do that?

Thanks a lot.

Here's how I've done this:

1) Create your content using Flash Node - this will give allow you to filter to that specific content type using Views

2) Tag your Flash content as you post it. In this case tag it with "nav"

3) Install the Views module and create a View block where you filter to the Flash Node content type (via Fields in your Views admin)

4) Also filter on the tag your using

5) Enable the new View block via your block admin and you'll be able to stick the block to one of your theme's regions.

That's one workflow.

I am pretty new to drupal. can you explain what is tagging the content with "nav". I can follow what you've explained. I'll give it a try.

You want to use Taxonomy module (part of core) to create a vocab. Associate this vocab with the Flash Node content type, and add a tag to it called "nav". Then when you post your Flash content using Flash node, tag it "nav" from the tag box. Then when you create your View, you'll filter on that tag or vocab.
