Flash not showing on page.php, single.php custom wordpress theme

    Hey WP community, hope everyone is doing well.

    I’ve done a few custom WP sites now and for the last two sites I’ve had issues trying to get Flash (.SWF that’s part of the site’s design) to show on the internal pages i.e. page.php, single.php, archive.php etc.

    I have Flash on the Home page and it’s working perfectly, but I’ve tried (or at least i think I’ve tried) EVERYTHING to get my flash animation to show on the inside pages of the site. And I’ve searched extensively for help on the web and on WP.org but can’t seem to find any help or a solution.

    Wondering if anyone else has had similar issues and if anyone had managed to find a working solution.

    Would appreciate any help or feedback.

    Thanks!

    Are you using full (absolute) urls in your flash code block? Relative urls won’t work properly in WordPress.

    Hey esmi, thx for responding. yeah, I’m using absolute paths, I’ve tried that and have even tried php code paths as well <?php bloginfo(‘url’); ?>/insidePanel_animation.swf. both don’t seem to work for me. It’s driving me batty 🙁

    HI choobacCa,

    I also have faced the exactly same issue as you were. I have had tried like you were. I have used get_option(‘home’).’/flash_file_name.swf’;

    But it did not work .. also used relative path as well. The same flash is working fine at Home page (the recent few posts under a certain category is showing in this flash in my case and there are links to its details page i.e single.php – get_permalink($postid) – thus made the XML file and when i click on details link from the flash it also perfectly redirect to post details page – i.e single.php) But in this page the swf is not showing. Right click shows that flash is loaded and even in view source i have noticed that the path is OK. Clicking on which shows the swf in another Browser Tab.

    Have you ever fixed this issue. Pls let me know. Any help will be highly appreciated.

    Rerards,
    pranoy
