Embedding flash in a theme

  • Hello all.

    I am having a lot trouble embedding a bit of flash into a theme I’m building. Here is my embed code:

    <object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="https://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0" width="960" height="80">
  <param name="movie" value=" https://www.birnpresents.com/bp-header.swf">
  <param name="quality" value="high">
  <embed src="https://www.birnpresents.com/bp-header.swf" quality="high" pluginspage="https://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="960" height="80"></embed>
</object>

    I’ve put this in header.php where my <h1> was, and for the life of me, I can’t get it to show up. What’s weird is, that exact same embed code worked on a blank html page. It makes me think I have some weird plugin problem or a setting wrong.

    Anyone have any ideas on how I might troubleshoot? Any advice would be appreciative.

  • a Link to the page where its not showing up would be helpful.

    Sure thing: https://topspin.thebirn.com

    This is the test site. The live site is identical except for post content and the background image.

    its in your css, not the code above (theres nothing wrong with it). use ff’s web dev toolbar or firebug, and remove the css and voila, there is your .swf

    In fact, inside style.css

    #header {
	height: 189px;
	padding: 0;
	text-indent: -999999px;
}

    remove the text-indent and it’s there. that might not be your ultimate look but it ought to send you on your way.
