FLASH BANNER FOR PHPBB3

[axiom]

I would like to replace the image banner with an .SWF (flash movie banner)

Has anyone been successful with this?

any help would be appreciated.

Can you provide a link to the banner and a link to the style you want to put the flash banner on?

Thanks.

Melankolia is the style being used. i have a complete .SWF

Banner to use is here:

Okay, I'm not at home right now so I can't help at the moment. It should be pretty simple to incorporate, so I'll install the style on localhost when I get home later and post the required code edits ~smile~

Thanks, I hope to hear from you 🙂

Okay try this.

Open: overall_header.html

Find:

<div id="logo">
			<a class="logo" href="{U_INDEX}"><h1><font color="#FFFFFF">{SITENAME}</font></h1><span class="gen"><font color="#FFFFFF">{SITE_DESCRIPTION}</font></span></a>

	</div>

Replace with:

<div id="logo"><object width="948" height="176">
<param name="movie" value="http://crgriffin.com/banners/banner.swf">
<embed src="http://crgriffin.com/banners/banner.swf" width="948" height="176">
</embed>
</object></div>

be warned, I haven't tested it...just wrote it out off the top of my head. It should work though, if it doesn't let us know and I'll help you fix it. ~razz~

It shows up, but it does not place the banner correctly where the previous banner was. it shows up incorrectly.

the code was close, but i figured it out. Thank you very much 🙂 Its working great now. ~biggrin~

No problem.

The flash banner looks great, as does the carbon fiber background texture. Good luck with your forum ~smile~

Thank you. I just redid the entire site not too long ago.
