Your best bet is to do this in a skin. Banners will have the same issue as the logo.

If you follow that link I posted earlier it has plenty of examples of how to embed a flash movie in your skin.

There is also an example in Nina's core skin which you can get here:

Hi J7Mitch,

thank you for the feedback.

what about using the banners for this?

I tried it but if I use a banner with type "Banner" and I define a swf-file it does not show up anything (not even the red cross).

Thank you for any further advice.

Regards,
Fabian

I'm pretty sure that won't work. You need to specify your flash movie object with html, and the logo setting is for images which creates an img tag.
I'm surprised that you would even be able to select it from the logo drop-down.

Hi,

I try to load a flash file (swf) as a logo in the site settings. But the flash animation does not show up instead there is a red cross as if the file was not found. But I did upload the file with the upload-tool.

Thank you very much for any advice.

I think your issue may be related to finding the right folder where the flash is located. Especially now with friendly URLs. The page just spinning and never loading is a classic sign that it can't find the flash. My suggestion is that you fully qualify the URL where the flash is located (e.g. http://www.mysite.com/portals/1/myflash.swf")

Good luck!

Thank you John!

Now it is working... The problem was that I was using relative paths and it seems as in this version of DNN you have to use full paths...

Cheers,

Chalo

Flash problem on Text/HTML module

chalo — Fri, 20 May 2005 01:17:32 GMT

Hi, I thought that maybe it was better to start a new thread to catch more attention.

In general it seems as flash object do not render on DNN3.0.13...(Strange since the flash in the skin provided does) I have tried the code below using a Text/Html module and the page doesn't finish loading.... The same code in DNN2.1.12 works perfectly.

======== Code for Text/HTML module =====

=================================

Anybody seen this? Any work around... I have to finish a splash screen as of yesterday.
