Hello, I am a new user to

and I just created this site www.plusonemedical.com. I would like to add flash content (swf) to the middle of the page. I am not sure how I add this and I don't want to mess with the template page.

I have used Macromedia products but I have never used them inside of

. How do I get a flash page to show up within a

templated page? Please advise....
Thanks for your help!

Are you inserting the flash file in a "Custom Page" or inside one of the section within the Control Panel (Message Editor, News Editor, etc.)?

Hi and thanks for your help.... I would like to add my .swf file to the right side link for example. I found an answer to imbedding into my custom pages, but I am not sure how to add this file to the right side of the page (which is a navbar created by

).

(When I am in a custom page there is no way to just grab the .swf file and imbed it into a table that I am currently working on) Is this correct and is the only way to ad a flash file is using html Code?

It is a navigational navbar created by

, but you can also add your own text, above it or below it. On your Control Panel, click on Site HTML/Right Column HTML Editor, at the bottom where it says "Display Option" -- you can choose to select "Use both Default and Custom."

On your custom html text, insert the .swf information on a small table. It'll then show up on your right column.

Hope this helps.

[/U][U]You have just defined my problem. When I go and insert the .swf file (after selecting it using the add picture button). I just get an icon in table and the movie does not play. If you go to my site I am using the exact same .swf file. One added using your suggesion (right navbar) and one using html code template that I really don't understand that well (center of website). www.plusonemedical.com
Thanks,
Bill

If you are inserting the html in a small table on the right column and it doesn't work the same way as in the center of the screen (I view the Flash file fine), then you might want to contact Tech Support. Good luck.

Post the flash on a blank page and let us review it first. Very very few flash items that people post here don't last as they are too much, flash too much, too complex etc so before you put the effort let us have a look. It could be that we don't think it should go on in so save you the time.

We use a flash logo in the top left of our site on every page. Just remember to get your sizes correct and the linking correct on your site. Here is our code for our flash:

CODE

From flash if you export the file to HTML and get it to work, (actually being able to look at the swf file) you should only have to worry about the above code generated in the HTML to place in any of your pages.
