Wrong Size Flash Image

[Kombu]

Hi Actinic community

After years of reading and occasional posts this is my first thread - have run out of ideas on how to sort this problem. Sure there is an easy solution out there - guidance appreciated...

I've been playing with Flash for our newsletter - easy way to turn the print version into an online version. I got the coding from this thread:

http://community.actinic.com/showthread.php?t=45333

I changed the document info and the sizing to match my document:

<object classid="clsid: D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0" width="502" height="678" ><param name="movie" value="Kombu_Newsletter.swf"><param name="quality" value="high"><embed src="Kombu_Newsletter.swf" align="top" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></embed></object>

However - this newsletter should look like this:

http://www.kombuwholefoods.com.au/ac...Newsletter.swf

But instead it appears on the Actinic site like this:

http://www.kombuwholefoods.com.au/ac...ewsletter.html

The swf file you see large above is the same one linked too on the html link so it is getting resized for some reason.

...Way too small. Any idea why? Have not been able to work out why (Actinic?) is reproducing it smaller on the page . Suggestions appreciated.

(By the way I know it is not the most polished Flash file in the world - my first effort...)

Try this instead:

<object classid="clsid: D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0" width="502" height="678" ><param name="movie" value="Kombu_Newsletter.swf"><param name="quality" value="high"><embed src="Kombu_Newsletter.swf" width="502" height="678" align="top" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></embed></object>

If you have it in a text only fragment layout (like you should have ideally), use this code:

!!<<div align="center"><object classid="clsid: D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0" width="502" height="678" ><param name="movie" value="Kombu_Newsletter.swf"><param name="quality" value="high"><embed src="Kombu_Newsletter.swf" width="502" height="678" align="top" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></embed></object></div>>!!

Wow - quick response - thanks Lee. I did place the code in a text only fragment layout...@ home now but will change the code tomorrow and give it a go. Many thanks for your input...Did I miss somewhere to grab the code from - searched around and could not find anything like you've got above...

It's incredibly similar to yours, i think you just missed out the sizes on the <embed> tag (if i'm right that is).

The rest of the code is to center it on page and the actinic 'embed html' markers. Here it is in your format with my changes highlighted:

!!<<div align="center"><object classid="clsid: D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0" width="502" height="678" ><param name="movie" value="Kombu_Newsletter.swf"><param name="quality" value="high"><embed src="Kombu_Newsletter.swf" width="502" height="678" align="top" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></embed></object></div>>!!
