playing .swf file at startup

10 Aug 2009, 18:33

Hello all

Is it possible to play a .swf file in your startup folder? I would like to play my movie demo reel once my website opens to viewers. Does anyone know how I could make the proper adjustments in my admin. module to make this work?

Thank you!

thanks zjk for pointing me in the direction...

I do have another question though...I set it to a textpage and uploaded the .swf file to the site. I embedded the file in the <img> code and when I publish it, i get just the actual line of code showing up as an image, no movie.

i was reading elsewhere in other forums that you also need to upload along with the .swf file, the html or .fla file?

i'll try to do that....

We are talking of a textpage right? If you type it directly into the textpage field, it will display like that. You have to click the "edit html code" button, or use the "insert image" button.
