Code Issue with Flash? Help!

  • Hello, I am trying to embed a flash menu in my header, it will show up on the first page, but not on subsequent pages. Does anybody know a work around? Help would be much appreciated. I am using wordpress 2.7

    <object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="https://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,19,0" width="314" height="43">
        <param name="movie" value="menunav.swf" />
        <param name="quality" value="high" />
        <embed src="menunav.swf" quality="high" pluginspage="https://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="314" height="43"></embed>

    I have been altering the code…but it still seems the same…Is it a script that needs to be added to the page template? MY Flash cloud by Roy Tannick seems to work fine…

    heres my changes

    <object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000"
   codebase="https://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,0,0"
   width="314" height="43" id="Untitled-1" align="middle">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
<param name="movie" value="mymovie.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff" />
<embed src="menunav.swf" quality="high" bgcolor="#ffffff" width="314"
   height="43" name="menu" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain"
   type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="https://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer" />
</object>

    I also tried this but it also does the same thing, only visible on the front page.

    <embed style="width:314px; height:43px;" id="VideoPlayback" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="menunav.swf" flashvars=""> </embed>

    Hi guys, I really need help on this, does anybody know why a flash object when placed in the header template will only show up on the first page of the site, but not on subsequent pages?

    This is what I embedded. Do I need to add something to the “Page Template CSS in order to have it keep being present?

    <object classid=”clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000″ codebase=”https://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,19,0&#8243; width=”314″ height=”43″ title=”menu”>
    <param name=”movie” value=”menunav.swf” />
    <param name=”quality” value=”high” />
    <embed src=”menunav.swf” quality=”high” pluginspage=”https://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer&#8221; type=”application/x-shockwave-flash” width=”314″ height=”43″></embed>
    </object>

    I had a lot of trouble with images doing the same thing for a while back, showing up on the front back and then no where else. Did you try using an absolute url by referencing

    <?php bloginfo('home'); ?>/wp-content/blahblahblah
