Flash swf in sidebar?
-
Does anybody know if it is possible or how to put a swf flash button into the sidebar? I have WordPress 2.1. I would like to use a flash button I created to link to another page from the home page.

Open your theme’s sidebar.php.
Play with the code:
<div>swf code</div>
Or similar. Back up…back up…
<script type=”text/javascript”>
AC_FL_RunContent( ‘codebase’,’http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,28,0′,’width’,’489′,’height’,’600′,’src’,’channel_zero’,’quality’,’high’,’pluginspage’,’http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash’,’movie’,’channel_zero’ ); //end AC code
</script><noscript><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=”489″ height=”600″>
<param name=”movie” value=”channel_zero.swf” />
<param name=”quality” value=”high” />
<embed src=”channel_zero.swf” quality=”high” pluginspage=”http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash” type=”application/x-shockwave-flash” width=”489″ height=”600″></embed>
</object></noscript>can someone tell me why this will play in dreamweaver but not when I test my blog?
If you are using Internet Explorer, SWF videos may not appear. If you use Dreamweaver 8, you need to insert an additional Java Script code (AC_RunActiveContent.js). I don’t know for the latest version of Dreamweaver.

mhvt.netThe following is an embed Flash tag that I used to use.
<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=”320″ height=”50″>
<param name=”movie” value=”XXX.swf” />
<param name=”quality” value=”high” />
<embed src=”mac/XXX.swf” quality=”high” pluginspage=”http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer” type=”application/x-shockwave-flash” width=”320″ height=”50″></embed>
</object>XXX.swf is a file name. This tag should work for non-IE browsers.

mhvt.netHave you tried Kimili Flash Embed for WordPress?
I was able to use it for my site. The only thing I want to do now is make my header a swf movie with Kimili, but I do not know how to do it. It must be easy, but so far I can’t figure it out. If anyone knows how to on the regulus theme let me know. Thanks.
