Question about header.

Im no dummy when it comes to building website but this has got me stumped at my directory my header works fine on everypage except when i go into the sub directory then the flash wont load and it will say movie not loaded. Any answers?

 

Are you referencing the header image correctly on those pages?

 

i Acutally have the flash image in the topbar.tpl looks better in the topbar.tpl and i forgot the link directlinks.org

 

Try referencing the flash file directly:


ie. http://www.directlinks.org/directlinks.swf

 

Heres your problem:

<param name="movie" value="[B]directlinks.swf[/B]" />

Code (markup):

and

<embed src="[B]directlinks.swf[/B]" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="750" height="100">

Code (markup):

The path to the directlinks.swf file. It loads fine on the homepage because the swf file is in the root folder. But it doesn't load in subcategories because the browser looks for the flash file inside the "folder" (your se friendly url), for example Internet_and_Web_Services/directlinks.swf

Solution:
Change the path to the flash file, use an absolute/full path. This should do it:

<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,19,0" width="750" height="100" title="logo">
<param name="movie" value="http://directlinks.org/directlinks.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<embed src="http://directlinks.org/directlinks.swf" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="750" height="100"></embed>
</object>

Code (markup):

 

Cool thanks alot.

 

Please don't use the <embed> tag.

Try using <object> by itself instead.
