Hi

I am a new with CI and I need to use some flash animation in my view page but I don’t know hoe to do it would you please give me some tips

Thank you

The view is pretty much just an HTML page, so you would embed it the same was as you would with a HTML page. Try Google.

You could check out this URL to embed flash content and replace with HTML if no flash player is available:

I second LuckyFella’s suggestion.  flashobject rocks my world, fails gracefully and is generally very nice.  The disadvantage (if you want to call it that) is that it requires some external js libs and some people struggle figuring out paths in CI.  If you are unsure of how to go about this, and you aren’t sharing your code for others, use absolute paths.  For example , src=”/js/flashobject.js”

Hi gentleman

Thank you for your fast replay. I actually tried assets_helper (http://codeigniter.com/forums/viewthread/45055/) in order to manage my image and CSS tagging and also I’ve flashobject javascripts store in my javascripts folder and I use this tag to call the *.js file

and I’m pretty sure it including the *.js file in to my html and I have

      // <![CDATA[
     
      var so = new SWFObject(“so_tester.swf”, “sotester”, “300”, “300”, “8.0.23”, “#FF6600”, true);
      so.addVariable(“flashVarText”, “this is passed in via FlashVars”); // this line is optional, but this example uses the variable and displays this text inside the flash movie
      so.write(“flashcontent”);
     
      // ]]>
  </script>

 

For embedding the flash file but still I don’t see anything on browser (FireFox & IE) :( ??? Also because I’m not sure where to store my *.swf file I copied the flash file on every possible folder (I know sound stupid) . Any taught?

Sorry for my bad English.

Hey Beta.

What address is the page located at?  What address is the .swf located at?  If I can see the page I can help diagnose.

Hi

URL: http://localhost/mvc/API/

At the framework: system>application>views

It is available online?

No but i can upload it

That would make things easier for me to debug.

SURE i’ll Do it now

here is the link:

I think you might want to read the instructions at the swfobject site again.  You seem to be missing a div called “sotester” which the script needs to put the flash into.

PS: nice design.

Thanks I’m new in design specially framework it’s my first framework experience and I do appreciate your help. if i stock i’ll let you know

Thank You
