Inserting Flash on Website

[Sparked]

Hi there, we have created some Flash Banners for the website of ours recently but we are having difficulty in getting it to work on there. I have been told to copy this from the user who is trying to install the banners etc on our site:

[flash(460,60)]http://www.weatherconnect.co.uk/uploads/Bannerone.swf[/flash]


Unfortunately i can not get it to upload properly. It is in the media gallery but when i place it on a page it gives a link. This link is then clicked. It opens up a new window to display the banner.

I then tried to add it as an embedded image. That didn't work either. It displayed no image with a little cross

I then had ago at some coding. That worked and i saw the image in the blog editing! Once i clicked saved it disappeared and would not display. The banner was there because i could click on it and re size, yet it was invisible

object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" style="width:450px; height:358px; display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; outline: none;" data="http://www.weatherconnect.co.uk/uploads/Bannerone.swf[b]">
[/b]

Basically we need to know how to get Flash to work on our website. Thanks.

You are on the right track. You need to edit your template file index.tpl and place the banner at the desired location using the <object> tag, not [bbcode] syntax.
