Need some basic help

Add flash opening from my site to ad site

[JackieB]

I wanted to copy and paste a swf file to an advertising site.

This is the copy and paste calling for the files within my site. To change the code to call on the same files using my url, how do I edit?

<center><object classid="clsid:XXXXXXXXXXXX" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=5,0,0,0" width="600" height="400">
<param name=movie value="file:///C¦/mysite/me/Desktop/subfolder/start.swf">
<param name=quality value=high>
<embed src="file:///C¦/mysite/me/Desktop/subfolder/start.swf" quality=high pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="600" height="400">
</embed>
</object> </center>

What is the correct way to replace the local folders w/ my URL?

Thanks,
Jackie

Hi Jackie,

The correct HTML code is

<center><object classid="clsid:XXXXXXXXXXXX" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=5,0,0,0" width="600" height="400">
<param name=movie value="http://www.domain.com/folder/start.swf">
<param name=quality value=high>
</object> </center>

with "http://www.domain.com/folder/start.swf" replacing
"file:///C¦/mysite/me/Desktop/subfolder/start.swf"

Futhermore, the embed tag is not really required as it is not supported by HTML 4.0 standard or approved by W3C. The PARAM tag is sufficient.

the embed tag is not really required

It still is required. Some browsers require one, some require the other.
