Originally I posted this in the Flash forum, but not much help there, it was suggested
I post here instead....
[ Register or login to view links on this board.]

I have downloaded one of your flash "link" buttons, codezwiz23.swf, to add to my
supporters/affiliates list. I am using PHP-Nuke

Unfortunately I cannot get it to work as it only asks for the image url and in the supplied
text file, it states...





<EMBED SRC='http://www.codezwiz.com/images/links/codezwiz23.swf'
wmode='transparent' WIDTH='88' HEIGHT='31'><NOEMBED><a
href='http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer/'>Get Flash!</a></NOEMBED></EMBED>




So, obviously this won't work. If you look near the bottom of my frontpage you will see what I mean.

What can I do to get this flash button to show up ?

Perhaps the reason nobody has responded to your question before now is that your site won't load? I tried it in 3 different browsers and after 5 mins, it hadn't loaded in any of them.

All you have to do is load the .swf file to your server and then change the path in the code given to point the the .swf file on your server and then add that to your page. The link to Codezwiz is coded into the button already.

OK, I was able to get it to load with the link above and I see what the problem is. If you right click on the box with the red x in it, and go to properties, you'll see that the path to the image is [ Register or login to view links on this board. ] It's not showing up because you have the wrong path in the embed code. You're trying to pull the image off of Codezwiz's server and it doesn't exist there.

All you have to do is open the zip file that you downloaded. Upload the .swf file to some directory on your server. Open the .txt file that is in the download and change the path (the src='....' part) to reflect the path to the .swf file on your server. After you change the path, copy the code from the .txt file into your page where you put the other links that are shown in that block.

Well, this had me stumped for a little while because it appears that the path to the .swf is now correct. You can verify that by right clicking on the image, going to properties and copying/pasting the URL into your browser. So something else had to be mucking it up.

After digging around at Nukescripts.net and doing some additional research (which included asking Telli...LOL) I found out that you can't put Flash buttons into the NSN Supporters block. You'll have to use a regular button, not a Flash one.

Guess we both learned something new today. icon_razz.gif
