Similar TutorialsOkay, that may sound like a funny title, but here is the deal. I have an MP3 player on my website. The original file is attached to this post. You must, if you want to test it, include it as a file in your domain. Anyway, here is the code for it. Please let me warn you that I use BBCode in my forum. HTML I do not allow, so what I have to do is take the original HTML code and place it in the text area, then use BBCode to make it work. My initial example which works! Code: <object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="mp3player/emff_lila_info.swf" width="200" height="55"> <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain"> <param name="movie" value="mp3player/emff_lila_info.swf" /> <param name="quality" value="high"> <param name="FlashVars" value="src={URL}" /> <embed src="mp3player/emff_lila_info.swf" quality="high" name="lilaplayer" allowscriptaccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" align="middle" width="200" height="55"> </object> <br> <small>MP3 by: cisco007</small> Please note this line: Code: <param name="FlashVars" value="src={URL}" /> The {URL} is the indicator that I use to type the location of the MP3 file. For example http://MyWebSite/FolderOne/FolderTwo/FolderThree.mp3 What I have been trying to do with little to no success is make it so that the only thing I have to type is, "FolderTwo/FolderThree". I don't know why I'm unsuccessful in this endeavor but I am. Currently my code looks like this: Code: <object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="mp3player/emff_lila_info.swf" width="200" height="55"> <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain"> <param name="movie" value="mp3player/emff_lila_info.swf" /> <param name="quality" value="high"> <param name="FlashVars" value="src=http://www.place4musicians.com/Free_Music/{SIMPLETEXT}.mp3" /> <embed src="mp3player/emff_lila_info.swf" quality="high" name="lilaplayer" allowscriptaccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" align="middle" width="200" height="55"> </object> </b> <small>MP3 by: cisco007</small> Please notice the same line again: Code: <param name="FlashVars" value="src=http://www.place4musicians.com/Free_Music/{SIMPLETEXT}.mp3" /> The {SIMPLETEXT} should be for "FolderTwo/FolderThree", but it does not work. Please anyone who has a little knowledge of this help me out! Thanks in advance. I'll go ahead and let you know that I've posted this request on four different sites, and I haven't even had a single reply. I hope someone here can help me!! Hi, I am a newbie and trying to develop a web site with HTML over IIS. I have inserted a flash (swf) object into the html code and am able to see the object displayed via IIS (right-click virtual directory and browse). However, it does not show if I try to access the same page via IE with http://localhost/Other. Only the text gets displayed. What could be the reason. Thanks.

Hello folks, I don't know almost anything about html code. I was using this simple html code for years, anytime I needed to stream one of my videos. <html> <head> <title></title> </head> <body bgcolor=="000000"> <table width="1280" height="736" align="center"> <tr> <td><embed src="BGI.mov" height="736" width="1280" align="middle"controller="true"></td> </tr> </table> </body> </html> Video file has name BGI.mov and is located in the same folder as html. The problem is, that it takes forever for video to download, sometimes 6-8 minutes. here is the URL of html page: http://www.bcoutback.com/videos/bgi.html I have talked to QuickTime guys and they did not find anything wrong with the file and they suggested that this HTML code is no longer good. Apparently, there is now completely different way of embeding video files and it has to do with applying functions. So I am wondering if someone could give me some simple advise how to write this simple code in the modern way. Please, keep in mind that I am complete html beginner. Thank you so much for your help. hi I am making web page in html . I have problems showing my swf files when I embed it in HTML files I have designed.When I export the swf files, should I export with swf and both HTML files next time?Also I have the flash player plug-ins installed on Mozilla, and IE, it is still not showing the swf files on my HTML pages. I have seen many web site design company sites which great in looks.I want to make that type of page? Any suggestion? hi everyone this is my first page so i will probably have a couple of questions to help give me an idea of how to do that i want! basically someone has asked me to design them a site, i did a web design course but that was 6 months ago and i need to learn new things for it as well as try and remember what ive learned! ive got a semi basic layout, ill post the html and css, hopefully ill pate them in the right way (this definitely wont be the colour scheme, ive been following an online tutorial, want to get the layout right before making other tweaks) basically in the content section theyre looking for a rectangular box that has 4 imaes, 2 side by side and two below. these will change when theyre rolled over and when a particular image is clicked it will take them to the correct section of the site. as far as i understand from the css i have the size of the content section will change depending on how much information is there. how would i know what size to make the flash for insertion into this section so it fits properly without any gaps? sorry im a bit new to this but the more i learn the better! i dont have a clue how to actually code the flash yet but getting the size right would be a good start! thanks for your help HTML Code: <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/master.css" /> </head> <body> <div id="page-container"> <!--this div will hold all the other elements of the page--> <div id="main-nav">Main Nav</div> <div id="header"> <h1> Kilmaclolm Dramatic Society logo to be placed here </h1> </div> <div id="sidebar-a"> <dl class="hidden"> <dt id="about"><a href="#">About</a></dt> <dt id="services"><a href="#">Services</a></dt> <dt id="portfolio"><a href="#">Portfolio</a></dt> <dt id="contact"><a href="#">Contact Us</a></dt> </dl> </div> <div id="content"> Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit.

Here's a link to that code: Network Information and here's a link to the entire page source: Entire Page Both are .txts I would really appreciate any help offered. I know it seems like a lot of effort to go to for a myspace profile, and even more effort for you guys to try and find the problem, but this is simply pissing me off. Hey guys, I have been designing a portfolio for my photography for some time. There are a few issues I have and I would appreciate your help. http://fjchapman.com/portfolio/portfolio.html 1. If you'll notice, the SWF object won't open. If you go to http://fjchapman.com/portfolio/viewer.swf , the swf is fine. There is just something wrong with my code. 2. Why is it so screwed up in IE? I have been going through my code but I cannot understand why IE is adding some mysterious padding. Help? 3. Alignment of links. While the links are just fillers (concert photography, portraits) for now, how can I have them aligned to the bottom left of my header? Thank you guys so much for your time. Hello, I am wondering if something is possible.. and if it is, how I would go about accomplishing the desired result.. This is a sample page to illustrate the problem http://comp.uark.edu/~bcagnin/test/index.html Is there a way to resize the object from a link that is within the website being displayed in that very same object?? Also, I am willing to use iframe if there is a solution that can be found with that... Thanks!! Tyrick 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. I can view the flash in my HTML script when I run it straight from my computer, but when I upload it I don't see it. I've tried it on three different web hosts. The directories are definitely correct. I don't understand why it simply won't work. This is the code I'm using to display the flash movie: PHP Code: <object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,28,0" width="580" height="150"> <param name="movie" value="menu_logo.swf" /> <param name="quality" value="high" /> <embed src="menu_logo.swf" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="580" height="150"></embed> </object> The flash file is located in the same place as the HTML file is.

Flash is not displayed. How can I resolve this trouble? 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.)
