How do I replace the slideshow banner with a .SWF slideshow, so it plays instead of your slide show.

Hi Johan,

Just replace the image with your .swf files in page-front.tpl.php:

<div class="slideshow">
<img src="<?php print $base_path . $directory; ?>/images/slideshows/sea.jpg" width="950" height="355" alt="slideshow 1"/>
<img src="<?php print $base_path . $directory; ?>/images/slideshows/noon.jpg" width="950" height="355" alt="slideshow 2"/>
<img src="<?php print $base_path . $directory; ?>/images/slideshows/snow.jpg" width="950" height="355" alt="slideshow 3"/>
</div>

Hi Johan,

You can try this:

<div class="slideshow">
<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="950" height="355">
      <param name="movie" value="themes/danland/images/filename.swf" />
      <param name="quality" value="high" />

<embed src="themes/danland/images/filename.swf" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="950" height="355"></embed>
    </object>
</div>

This is if the .swf files in images folder.

Okay, no problems with that :)

Problems solved. Closed.

Thanks,

Thank you so much. This slideshow.swf has been at the core of my whole site. It looks fantastic, and works really well.

Thanks again.

Hey guys

I have also been trying to replace the slide show with a .swf by using the code in your handbook.

Everything seems to work fine... apart from the movie does not load.

All I can see is the background shadow image, and if I right click over this image, i get "Movie not loaded".

Any pointers?

I have the same issue as Helliquin - I swap out the code as Dan suggests, but the swf doesn't load. When I right click on the area where the swf banner should be, I get a "movie not loaded" message.

I have the same problem. I tried to use the code for embedding a .swf file in a block, in the content top area of the second page. When i right click on the are where the file should be I get a "movie not loaded" message. Any suggestions? Thanks!
