De.scription and Message

I was trying to put a flash header and banner on site. i thought if it was hosted by imageshack or photobucket it would just be a matter of pasting the code but it doesnt work <img> anybody been able to do this and how ?

[Helter]

is the flash full length? can you post the embed code?

since a flash can sometimes be a large file, and every image that is hosted offsite will slow your site down, you should host it localy.

youll have to edit AcidTech/overall_header.tpl

find

Code: Select all

    <tr>         <td><div><a><img></a></div></td>     </tr>

replace with (after you edit the bold info)

<tr>
<td width="100%" height="Image height" valign="top"">
<object>
<param>
<param>
<param>
<param>
<embed>
</embed>
</object>
</td>
</tr>



Now place the flash.swf in the main AcidTech/images folder

Since logo_bg.gif is only 88px high, it will repeat if your flash is taller. You can edit logo_bg.gif in your fav image editor to be at least as tall as your flash file
