Flash Company Logo

[mikehextall]

Hello all

I have a customer who wants the company logo at the top of the page to be in flash, he has sent me the flash file he wants using, ive tried putting it in in the normal way but it wont have flash files, so how do i do it?

Theres been a couple of threads lately about this in the V7 forum, including the code you need to include.

[mikehextall]

yes ive seen these, it gives the code but doesnt say where it needs to go

[leehack]

exactly where the current logo is, if it is to be a direct replacement for it, otherwise just before or just after if you are keeping the existing one also.

[mikehextall]

so where in the code do i put it? the last time i fiddled blindly with the code i wrecked the whole site

Take a snapshot before you do anything and you need not worry then, you can always get it back. On the threads in the V7 forum you will be able to read the enclosed code and see where it has been placed. This will be more descriptive than i could write out and also much quicker.

Make sure the file is where you say it is, add it to additional files just to be sure and paste the code from your page into here if you cannot get it to work. Its far easier to show you within your code, than it is to explain. The biggest hint i can provide is to look for the code that puts your current logo in, it has a descriptive name, so easy to spot and it will of course be towards the top of the code once you go past the opening "<body" tag.

Looks like it is not sitting within a <td> tag.

Is this a snippet from the main code?, as this needs to sit in your outer layout code.

[mikehextall]

it is the outer layout code. i deleted the original logo code that was at the top and replaced it with what i found in the V7 posts

[leehack]

As i say it looks like the <td> tags are missing. Compare it to the layout before you made the changes as i think you will find that you have deleted more than you should have, specifically the <td> and </td> tags around the existing logo code. I cannot do it for you as i do not know how it was before you touched it.

ive added the td tags and it works a treat, thanks for your help, my customer will be very happy
