Yes you can.

Wicked wicked wicked.

Thank you once again. its in there and working fine. (just got to improve music quality and we are there!)

Um sorry, meh again!! little problem with mty music.
I updated nuke to 7.7, and changed theme to 3d-fantacy. I noticed the music still worked after all that however i couldnt edit it? It was inserted in a message block in the centre of the homepage and worked fine. since upgrading, i cant see the text i inserted for the last swf file. I wanted to change the file so deleted the 'black box ' that used to be text and inserted this....

You didn't happen to make a back up of the file you changed before you deleted that block did you? If so, you should be able to retrieve the code from the backup and compare it to the code above to see what's different.

this code was identical exept i changed the directory to the swf.(i tried it with the old dir first and diddnt work either!) I couldnt copy the code from the old one as when i went into edit, I used to see this code all the time, now all i see is a black box, and when i clicked on it i saw the flash movie! seemed buggy to me, but i couldnt copy and paste it!
Ive changed the swf a few times so i know that code worked. after i paste this code in and press save, when i go to home page, i see the box with code in, rather than a white box waiting to update to the new swf file. (its 4 meg so takes 40 seconds or so usually)

I will put it on the site with the code, if you want to take a look. its on homepage. [ Register or login to view links on this board. ]
thankyou.

I don't see anything in the center of your site except the word Loading....., a large picture and a Last Forum Entries block.

I could be totally off on this, but I have a feeling you are having problems with the WYSIWYG editor that comes in Nuke versions 7.7 and 7.8. Alot of peeps seem to be having problems with it.

Unfortunately, I can't help you there. Hopefully someone who has already upgraded will see this and be able to help. Sorry.

I think youve got it spot on there, i had trouble just getting the pic there, had to post it, re edit and re post. the swf thing is there now, i been trying all different stuff all day to get it to work. but i think your right about the editor. thanks for looking anyway.

You might want to step back down to version 7.6. Check out this post:

wow, sounds like im in trouble, i dont understand all that lol, i upgraded using fantascio also and that was easy, it made a backup of the old one but by the sounds of it they had no success with that either. thanks for your help on this. will ponder on it! lol.

HELP!!!
I attempted to do the restore back up function on fantastico and deleted public.html folder, extracted backup, then i deleted our sql thing but cant upload backup.sql, so i then went back to fantastico to try and delete 7.7 and reinstall and it wont let me do anything now. i can give our ptf pass and pay if required. im in big trouble! i made back from admin panel and also forum admin backups of structure and data.
Can anyone help me please ? how do i import backup.sql into database?
