Hi Balinor:

our programmer is away for a few weeks and im trying to put something back in our site that we had working a while back.

I have 3 flash files

1) homebanner.swf
2) homebanner.html
3) homebanner.jpg

there were created in flash.

Our developper had showed us a while back how to institute these into a label, which required us to not worry about coding anything

What would be the html that i need to input into the label to make it function?

It worked a year or so ago for a promotion, then i took and down.

Thanks.

Hi Mlalande,

Try the following:-
Note that in the following code the images (jpg and swf files) are stored in your stores "image/categories/" directory (you can upload them to that folder via ftp) - the folder named "categories" we just added into directory "images" ourselves to store these in (you could call the folder any name).
The rest is simple html to change the width, height etc. (you could open the html file in notepad to view what to change these to for your own file perhaps.

<php?>
<table>
<tr>
<td align="left" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td width="100%" align="left" valign="top" bgcolor="#ffffff"><table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td width="100%" height="180" align="left" valign="top" background="http://yourdomain.com/images/categories/banner.jpg">

lol... this is html code basically - did you even try it (or question is just for fun)?...
If you choose to put it inside a html table is perhaps optional (i.e. code can be shorter).. and of course one could cut this code down doing that... but is nothing complicated about it really.
But if you can wait 2 weeks, I guess your programmer can give you his cut piece of code.

Otherwise, check what is in the html file that you have on hand... that will give you a guide as to what needs to go into the language tag.

Hope you get it solved and cheers, Asiaplay

PS: browse the forums for swf file or flash and you will find a few posts on how otherwise to integrate flash into a language tag (I based this on other posts in the forum here).
