Viewing How to add a swf file into EW

How to add a swf file into EW



User: Emin A. 12 years ago
Hello,

I would like to add an .swf file into EverWeb. In iWeb it's very easy: all what i have to do is, to upload the .swf file into my server, and paste a code with the html snippet and type in my personal parameters (filepath, filename and width/height).
But this way doesn't work on EverWeb when I tryied it.

I read in another thread something about right clicking on the external file and copying the file path, but where i have to paste it? Where i have to upload my swf file? And isn't there simply an html-code to paste in a html-snippet like in iWeb?

(Before someone asking why flash: The reason is, because i don't know how to make an interactive file with other programs. With InDesign it's easy for me to built an interactive swf file with clickable buttons, where i can show something in a preview box and save it as an .swf file) I would like to use it on my website.

Thx

The process is pretty simply with EverWeb actually. Add the swf file to your assets list. It will be added under the External Files. RIght click on it and select 'Copy Relative Path'

In your swf code replace the path to the swf file with what is in your clipboard. Then paste the entire code into an HTML Snippet.

@Emin A.
I answered your request for info at EverWeb Codebox with a much simpler method.

Hi there,

thanks for the fast answers.
@Paul:
Do you mean like this?

<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase=" http://fpdownload.adobe.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0&quot; width="1020" height="575" align="middle"> <param name="movie" value="{!-ASSETSPATH-!}External%20Files/preview.swf"> <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"> <embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer" width="1020" height="575" align="middle" src="{!-ASSETSPATH-!}External%20Files/preview.swf" allowScriptAccess="always"></embed></object>

This didn't work by me.

@Roddy:
Thx, it worked. Only the outside frame is showing up incompletely.
Here is a test link how it looks:

Btw: Is there another way how to make something like the same effects without flash? Clicking some buttons an showing up different layers without loading a new site?

The border is missing from the SWF file itself as you can see HERE.
