Topic: There is a flash movie in the frame (Page 1 of 1)

Hello, me again,
I didn't realize that the whole top frame was a flash movie - something I've never worked with. I tried to copy and paste the code into a table so I could remove the frame and nothing happened.
Here is the url http://scentair.com/index2.htm
Is it possible to make this into a regular table-based site?
Thanks a lot,
Pam

Absolutely.

You don't even need tables, quite frankly.

this is the source of the top frame which contains the flash movie -

<div id="Layer1" style="position:absolute; left:-1px; top:-2px; width:111px; height:78px; z-index:1"> 

  <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="2000" height="200">

    <param name="movie" value="flash/top.swf">

    <param name="quality" value="high">

    <embed src="flash/top.swf" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="2000" height="200"></embed></object>



</div>

Copying that verbatim, assuming the paths are all correct, should be all that you need to do for the top part.

Of course, the style="..." bit should be removed and added to the style sheet specs for #Layer1, since that is the purpose of giving your elements an id in the first place.

Hello DL-44,
I did try that cutting and pasting already and when I tried to play the flash in Dreamweaver MX nothing happened. The book says that the movie is supposed to play.
Also the movie is 2000 wide and I don't want my page that wide.

These people also want a video that they have taken put on the site later. In your opinion would a beginner be able to learn the Flash software good enough to do that or shall I send them to someone else.

I have done some reasonably good tables and CSS sites up to now. I'm willing to learn this and move up in the Asylum to play with the real loonies but I don't want to promise something I can't deliver.
Thanks a lot, Pam

I don't know anything about dreamweaver, but either way, it is going to need to access the actual file - does that path correctly point to its location (you'll need the full path - http:// and all - to point a local app to the file online)?

Thanks DL, you're a genius! I can see the darn thing now.
