HTML - Detecting For Flash And Then Redirect...

I've got a website under construction at www.banffridgeestates.com. On the design plans page (www.banffridgeestates.com/design_plans.htm), I've got 9 thumbs for the user to click on and a PDF file opens in Adobe Reader. But just in case the user doesn't have Adobe Reader or some other PDF viewing application, is there a way for me to program the link so that it detects whether the user has such an application, and to open a JPEG if he doesn't have one?

Hey,
Im making a site for a client and we've hit a dead end one one thing i particular

The whole site we've made is HTML and Images only. The only flash element is the Navigation bar at the top. With out making 2 dedicated flash/non flash sites,
how do we make it so that if flash is not detected on the viewers computer then the flash navigation will not show, but instead show a java script rollover nav bar?

I was thinking maybe have the flash nav in a div that floats over the image nav, and if flash is not detected it would disappear...?

help would be super appreciated.

The code highlighted red comes in on my div as a box with a small x.
So its detected to be there but some how doesnt pick up the content of the (swf.).

And I have to be honest I really don't know much about html at all.... I use it for my website and band myspace layout. This is for a photographers myspace. But I would greatlly apprecieate it if someone could please explain to me what I should put there I would worship you...

Well thanks everyone for looking through this mess. I hope theres someone out there with an awnser.

I've just published my first flash site, which is a schoolproject.
I have this little problem: my site won't center in the popup so i get this white border in top and left site while some of my site is missing in right and bottom.. you can see it he http://www.rtgkom.dk/~caspers06/ click on anotherDepth.

Here's the code i used for my popup:

Code:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">

function popUp(URL) {
day = new Date();
id = day.getTime();
eval("page" + id + " = window.open(URL, '" + id + "', 'toolbar=0,scrollbars=0,location=0,statusbar=0,menubar=0,resizable=0,width=959,height=500,left = 35.5,top = 128');");
}

</script>

Code:

<a href="" onClick="MinPopUp('http://www.rtgkom.dk/~caspers06/main.html');return false;">
        <A HREF="javascript:popUp('http://www.rtgkom.dk/~caspers06/main.html')"><img src="images/index_09.gif" alt="" width="254" height="58" border="0"></A>

Hope someone can help me..

What I'm trying to do is insert
Quote:
http://eksow.com/eksow.swf
Which is Flash (160x15 px) into the actual website RIGHT UNDERNEATH the 'bottom'.

I've tried, and tried, and tried again...
But nothing works :S

Does anyone know if there is some trick that I have to do or I'm overlooking something?

Im not really in the mood of screwing it up, you know?

I made a flash dropdown menu, but it's creating whitespace that i dont' want.
How do I make it so that it just overlaps whatever is under it?

My index is an HTML page that has a flash that runs for 5 seconds. After that it stops (on purpose).

I would like it to then goto another HTML page.

For some reason, I can't find out how to do that.

Hi all,

I have a flash object that will sometimes not load in IE. However, if you refresh the page, the movie loads just fine.. It's only on the first entrance to the page.

My code is:

<center>
<object
classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000"
codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,0,0"
width="290"
height="176"
id="image-zoomer"
align="center">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
<param name="movie" value="image-zoomer.swf?path=zoom/" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="scale" value="noscale" />
<param name="salign" value="lt" />
<param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff" />

<embed src="image-zoomer.swf?path=zoom/"
quality="high" scale="noscale" salign="lt" bgcolor="#ffffff"
width="290" height="176" name="test" align="center" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"
/>
</object></center>

Any suggestions for me? The site is at http://showball.com

Thanks
David

Hey guys, I just built a flash site with a lot of text/img content and I was really careful to make it all xml-based so that it would be easy to edit later.

Now I want to create a very very simple backend cms for my client so that they can modify the content as well. Really, just simple html forms will be fine.

What is the simplest way to modify xml data via html? Can I post data to the server in xml format?

Help!

Hi,

I am currently having trouble embedding my flash file into html. No matter what I try it will not work. I don't have much experience in html so could really use some help please.

This is the code that I am using...

<object classid="clsid: D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6" width="814" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://megaswf.com/serve/79631/" /><param name="quality" value="high" /><param name="menu" value="false" /><param name="scale" value="exactfit" /><embed src="http://megaswf.com/serve/79631/" width="814" height="344" menu="false" scale="exactfit" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" /></object>

Thanks,

Hello guys,

Is there any way to make a large files of flash into a smaller file size for faster loading of a site using JavaScript?

I've just recently created my website with wix.com as my host, so it's all flash, but I would like to change my website to html. I really like what I have as the website so far, but I've found that it runs slow on many computers, so I was wondering if there was any way of keeping what I have(such as design etc.) but converting it to html somehow. I don't know much about web design, so any help would be greatly appreciated.
(and I don't mind changing my host if it's necessary, I just want a way to be able to keep what I've worked at without having to begin from scratch.)

Is there a way to have a form or something select a frame from a flash document that is being uploaded? I need to have something like on addictinggames.com where it shows a screenshot of the game next to it. also youtube and google video do this. How would I?

My question is regarding this gallery that I put together:

http://moparch.com/moparch/architecture/ds.html

My goal is to make it so the image scales with the size of the browser window. Right now the image only scales as the page shrinks horizontally. When the page shrinks vertically the image does not change size.

The page is made up of two flash movies, one for the images and one for the text and arrows. In dreamweaver I have set the image flash movie (the one on the left) to scale to 100% width and 100% height. I have set the text movie to be a fixed size.

If anyone could explain how to get my image movie to scale as the browser window shrinks both horizontally and vertically I would greatly appreciate it.


thanks
