Hi all,

I had someone create a game for in flash. I want to add the game to my SBI site but don't know how to go about doing that. Could someone give me a little nudge in the right direction?


Thanks,

Greg

Hi Greg,

I'm assuming you have an .swf file for your game right? Well you should be able to go to the Special File Manager in Site Central and upload the flash file. The insert the following code on your page to call up the file....

Of course you'll replace

http://www.yourdomain.com/support-files/your_file.swfwith the link the your Flash file. All Flash files go in a folder called support-files when you use the Special File Manager so that's why I have that in the link.

Try that.

Hi Lisa,

Thanks for the help.

I'm going to give that a try later today. Let you know how it goes.

Hello,

I'm definitely a novice when it comes to the techie stuff. Looking for some advice from any techies out there.

I'm trying to add a flash game that someone created for me to my site. I put the following code into the sbi block builder. I'm just getting a white space at that spot when I preview the web page.



I don't know why, but the rest of the code didn't come up for some reason when I previewed this post. Does Anybody know why?
Otherwise, this post may not help you help me if you can't see the rest of the code.

The white space in this post is similar to the white space I get when I preview the page in SBI block builder.

As I said, I'm sort of clueless here, but was wondering if I needed to include another file that was sent to me by the person that made the game for me. Here's the name of other file: AC_RunActiveContent.js. I'm not sure if this file should be included in the block builder or not.

Thanks,

Greg

I wish I knew what else to tell you. I have very limited experience with Flash and the times I have used it, the program I use to create thee Flash file generates the code for me. Hopefully someone else can help you.

Hi greg

in your source code you appear to haveI think it should be:

Thanks Lisa.

It's greek to me. It seems like so much to know. But I'll keep plugging away and I'll learn what I need to know bit by bit.

Anybody else want to take a shot at this?

Thanks much,

Greg

Hi Bob,

I think you were right about the code. I did change it. But I think there is some other problem because it still does the same thing.....just white space appears where the game should be.

Still looking for answers. If anyone's got them, you'll have my gratitude.

Thanks,

Greg

Just a thought have you entered the URL in both the param name="movie" and also the embed tag?

Thanks Bob,

As I said, you have my gratitude. I didn't have the URL in both the param name="movie" and the embed tag.

That wasn't as bad as I thought. This is the first flash I've ever used on my site.

Cheers,

Greg

So it's working now? Great! Bob, you rock!
