Is it possible to add a flash animation to the home page of a php-fusion site? In the Site introduction it is possible to add html code like on my website www.vision-4-life.nl/php_NL. However when I try to copy the code to add an swf beside an image and copy the code

<OBJECT classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,0,0"
WIDTH=350 HEIGHT=263>
<PARAM NAME=movie VALUE=.....

.......scale=noscale WIDTH=350 HEIGHT=263 TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash"
PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash">
</EMBED>
</OBJECT>

then after saving the flash is not working. When looking in the Site Introduction the <OBJECT classid code is gone and only the code:

<PARAM NAME=movie VALUE="./Assets/my_flash.swf">
<PARAM NAME=menu VALUE=false>
<PARAM NAME=quality VALUE=high> ....

is left.

Who has a clue about this? Thanks for your help, and in advance: a very HAPPY AND HEALTHY 2010!!

Regards, Fred

1) leave the site introduction settings to be "news.php" or whatever pages u used before.

2) put your html with flash codes into index.php in your base directory. if u see, the index.php only has the code to redirect you to whatever you set in Site Introduction settings. just replace the content.

3) go into system admin > site links. change the address for "home" link to "news.php" instead of "index.php"

happy 2010.

echo stripslashes($settings['siteintro'])."\n";

all you need to do is just replace the bold text script above with your own code (flash or something else)..

yup.wantp's idea will also work.

just don't forget to convert all double quotes to single quotes ( " -> ' ) for the html code and put it in an echo "";

Take a look to my site @ Website here

the way i have implemented flash is to enter it into a php fusion panel and use code like this

Quote

openside("welcome");
?>
<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,0,0" width="800" height="300" id="great banner.swf" align="middle">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain">
<param name="movie" value="great banner.swf">
<param name="quality" value="high">
<param name="bgcolor" value="#000000">
<param name="wmode" value="transparent">
<embed src="great banner.swf" quality="high" bgcolor="#000000" width="800" height="300" name="great banner.swf" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer">
</object>

Just be careful not to put too much flash on your homepage. The search engine algorithms don't care for it and it could hurt your rankings. There are ways to make it SEO friendly...just do a search for it. Hope this helps.

Great yes.

You can do a great deal of flash like animations/introductions/effect with jQuery, and i find with jquery its easier to set a cookie to remember that someone has already seen the animation so they don't have to sit through it again. Just a thought.

Hey, there I tried this code on a new install with this code and get a syntax error:

echo stripslashes($settings['siteintro'])."\n";

Anyone else have this issue?
