Flash Banner Images Won’t Load In Firefox on Static Page
-
Hi all,
I’m new to WordPress and have this site I’m setting up but can’t seem get the flash banner working the way I want. I want a static front page with a rotating flash banner but that did not seem possible at first. I then found Kimili Flash Embed. After installation and a few tweaks, I was able to get it running, but only in IE… In FF it loads the text that is located in the .xml file the .swf is calling but not the images.
I purchased the banner from: http://flashden.net/item/xml-banner-rotator-v3-with-menu-navigation/22495?ref=designesia
It seems that I need to have to call this file (AC_RunActiveContent.js) from an HTML doc (maybe?) that could solve this issue but I don’t really know. Here is the code I tried to put in the static home page file in WP:
<script language=”javascript”>AC_FL_RunContent = 0;</script>
<script src=”http://drknockboots.net/blog/wp-content/themes/Samantha/AC_RunActiveContent.js” type=”text/javascript”></script>[kml_flashembed movie=”http://drknockboots.net/blog/wp-content/themes/Samantha/banner.swf” height=”251″ width=”635″ fversion=”8″ useexpressinstall=”true” base=”http://drknockboots.net/blog/wp-content/themes/Samantha/banner.swf” /]
I did read Flash/XML is funny with absolute/relative links so I put in the full URL in the Page file as you see above and even when linking to the images in the XML file since (images/imageX.jpg) did not work in either browser but I recently changed it back to (images/imageX.jpg). I left out the “www.” because when I included that it also did not work. It may be because when I redirect from my site (http://www.drknockboots.net) to the blog (http://www.drknockboots.net/blog) the URL displays as http://drknockboots.net/blog instead and I don’t know why. Notice how http://drknockboots.net/blog displays in IE versus FF.
I apologize for the lengthy message but wanted to give as much info as possible. Hopefully there’s a braniac out there that can help me. Thanks ahead of time!
