Hi, im trying to put a flash slide show into one of my custom pannels.  As the games we play are starting to grow, its taking up more room.  So i made a slide show of the covers instead of a list to display them.  However...  I uploaded the .swf file to the images folder and make a link and posted but it just doesnt show up?? Am i missing something here? 

Can you take a look at this.  I made a custom pannel called "Games" and the file is called "Games.swf"  can you make them work together so that it show up, O dont know  whats wrong?????

 

Is this the one you're after?

 To make it a custom panel :

 

to make it a custom panel go to site admin -> custom elements -> add new

then in that click the flash/media button [little film strip thing], then paste in the url of the flash element ^

and save it.

take a note of the id of the custom element you just made

you'll then need to add the element into your theme by going to site admin -> manage elements

and then in one of the element sets enter [e:custom id=n] - where n is the id number of the custom element you just made


hope this helps

Yes, i had already done exactly that.  As you can see in the bottom leftt corner of the site I have an element called "Games" which i made as a test.  It should show in here.  However it doesnt?  Lil help?

looking at your source - it looks like you've put "codmw2" twice into the url of the flash element

 

try using

http://zer0alpha.com/themed/codmw2/img/Games.swf

 

as your url.
