Codezwiz >> Forums >> Flash Help >> Class ID?

How can I find the class ID for a flash movie that I want to use in a block? Thanks in advance!

I believe the Id you are looking for is an attribute to the object tags used to embed a flash on a web page

classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"

I found a flash clock that i want to use in a block. i don't even know where to start to make my own block. can u point me in the right direction?

Here's a thought seeing I know absoluting nothing about php but if I was going to try it I would go to D/L section and download a nuke clock and follow the instruction of installing it. And instead of upload the clock that came with d/l I would rename the one I have to and upload that.

I don't know if this will help or not, but here's a block creator.

thanks Kelly and GE for the replies tho, i think i'm still lost lol.

GE, I tried the method u suggested b4 I made this post but, no luck. I tried it a second time(after reading ur reply and found that i missed a "file name change" in the code and it worked! woot!

Kelly, i don't know what I'm supposed to do with the block creator. Do I just type in the code or do i need to concern myself with the structure?

This is a block made by Telli:

<?php
#### block-CZclock Generated by Telli (www.codezwiz.com) ###
if (eregi("block-CZclockblu.php",$PHP_SELF)) {
Header("Location: index.php");
die();
}
$content = "<center><OBJECT classid=\"clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/";
$content .= "cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=5,0,0,0\" width=\"150\" height=\"152\">";
$content .= "<PARAM NAME=\"movie\" VALUE=\"images/CZclocksciblu.swf\">";
$content .= "<PARAM NAME=\"quality\" VALUE=\"high\">";
$content .= "<PARAM NAME=\"menu\" VALUE=\"true\">";
$content .= "<PARAM NAME=\"bgcolor\" VALUE=\"#000000\">";
$content .= "<EMBED src=\"images/CZclocksciblu.swf\" quality=\"high\" menu=\"true\" pluginspage=\"http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?";
$content .= "P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash\" type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\"";
$content .= "width=\"150\" height=\"152\">";
$content .= "</EMBED>";
$content .= "</OBJECT></center>";

Well, you're ahead of me in knowing what to do....lol I was thinking it would just be a matter of putting your Flash code inside the block creator box and hitting the button. Of course, I could possibly have no clue what I'm talking aobut either.

Guess Telli will have to pick this one up from here.

As far as the clsid, I think it's the same for every movie. The reason I say this is because I've often used the same codes over and over just changing the filenames of the flash movie (and the widths/heights, etc.) and never noticed anything different. I'll check out some of the different codes where red's published flash movies to verify this and post back if it's not true.

OK, I couldn't stand being so close and not knowing so I tested it.

I pasted my straight HTML code for a Flash movie into the Block creator:

Good job Kelly! U get a real big "atta girl!" I must admit that I didn't even try the block creator because, it says, "iinsert code." When I saw this, I thought if I knew the code, why would I use a block creator LOL. I would edit the block creator so other people that tend to make things more difficult than what they are can use it too

CZ IZ DA BOMB!

P.S. Telli, can I move in next door and act like Kramer from "Friends?"
