You have to change it in TWO places. You missed it here: <param name="movie" value="logo.swf">

The \ in the code is because you have to escape the quotation marks as I explained earlier.

Oh.. it needed the full path/url cool it's working, gets knocked of by the navigator though
Least it's working. You also said earlier about changing sizes for the banner to be bigger,
Is there a tutorial on that anywhere?
Well thanks for your time kelly

Hello, I read the above, and tried to get it, but mine is not working as well, can u look at my code and see if anything strikes you, I added the \ like u did, and when I saved it, they all went away. Here is the code, and thanks in advance. btw, I named the movie logo.swf

<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11CF-96B8-444553540000" id="obj1" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0" border="0" width="202" height="31">
<param name="movie" value="http://www.rbrad4.com/home/themes/ChristmasV2/images/logo.swff">
<param name="quality" value="High">
<embed src="http://www.rbrad4.com/home/themes/ChristmasV2/images/logo.swff" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" name="obj1" width="202" height="31"></object>

Hi,
This is what you're replacing first;

<img src=\"themes/Charcoal2/forums/images/logo.jpg\" alt=\"\" height=\"58\" width=\"349\" border=\"0\">

And you need \ in the end of both your logo.swf files, here's your object code;

<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11CF-96B8-444553540000" id="obj1" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0" border="0" width="202" height="31">
<param name="movie" value="http://www.rbrad4.com/home/themes/ChristmasV2/images/logo.swff">
<param name="quality" value="High">
<embed src="http://www.rbrad4.com/home/themes/ChristmasV2/images/logo.swff" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" name="obj1" width="202" height="31"></object>

Try changing your links like this;

<param name="movie" value="http://www.rbrad4.com/home/themes/ChristmasV2/images/logo.swf\">

<embed src="http://www.rbrad4.com/home/themes/ChristmasV2/images/logo.swf\"

BTW you had logo.swff instead of .swf, in both your links

Got it, thanks for the help. Even tho the above says by, Daredoo, i was me before I signed up. So, thank you.

Good stuff!

I've just tried to do the same as the other guys here and add a flash banner to my site replacing the PHP-Nuke logo. Originally i replaced the logo.gif with my own static banner - i just overwrote the logo.gif with my banner - also named logo.gif.

I've been trying to use your steps here but to no avail. I'm using the 3D-Fantasy theme that came with PHP-Nuke 7.7 - the problem is that the image source file code that i need to replace with the flash html isn't in the theme.php file - it's in the header html file. But the second bit of code you say to overwrite isn't there.

This is what i have in the header html file:
<a href="index.html"><img src="themes/3D-Fantasy/images/logo.gif" border="0" alt="Welcome to $sitename" align="left"></a>

and this is my flash html:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<meta http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">
<TITLE>logo</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY bgcolor="#FFFFFF">


<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="1000" HEIGHT="150" id="logo" ALIGN="">
<PARAM NAME=movie VALUE="logo.swf"> <PARAM NAME=loop VALUE=false> <PARAM NAME=quality VALUE=high> <PARAM NAME=bgcolor VALUE=#FFFFFF> <EMBED src="logo.swf" loop=false quality=high bgcolor=#FFFFFF WIDTH="1000" HEIGHT="150" NAME="logo" ALIGN=""
TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash" PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"></EMBED>
</OBJECT>
</BODY>
</HTML>

Plz help - I'm a PHP noob, and have very little experience of coding!

Replace this:

Hey mate,

Thx for the help - I've swapped the codes like you said above - but i can't find the second place anywhere that also needs changing. I've changed the path in the header.html file. There's absolutely nothing in the theme.php file.

I'm so close to falling out with this it's unbelievable!!!

Sorry I didn't make it clear. There are two places in the code above that you need to change "logo.swf" to the path to your Flash movie.
