Hi Guys,
I'm trying to incorporate Flash Games into my site. Games have just been setup as Articles and I have just added the code to embed the flash files which are saved on the server (Thanks Brendan) however when I open the article all I get is the code without any attempt to open the flash?
Anybody have any suggestions for this?
Thanks
Adam

Better to use Custom pages for this purpose? Try this code in a custom page:
Code Download source
<?php
echo "<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='550' height='400'>
<param name='movie' value='flash/3dworm.swf'>
<param name='quality' value='high'>
<param name='menu' value='false'>
<embed src='flash/3dworm.swf' width='550' height='400' quality='high' pluginspage='http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' menu='false'></embed>
</object>";
?>

I tried this in the article and also in the custom page. When I do it in the custom page the text always carries over to the next line and therefore wont work. Not enough characters fit on the one line??? below is how it appears. So I havnt had any joy with both. I know http://www.valley-venturers.wellington.net.nz/news.php has a similar setup which is done by adding an article and then embeding the flash.
still no joy
thanks

how can one increase the amount of characters on one line?
answered
Used in a custom page, the text should not wrap inside the
<?php
?>
If you're using TinyMCE in custom pages, the code will not work eighter. If not, this should work just fine.
Try the code in a Center panel and see what happens then?

This code works as a article or as custom page. Just add this code into the box. no changes. You can add <center></center> if you like though.
EDIT: I just realised the other thing you need to do is turn of automatic linebreaks in an article. It wont stop it from working but you'll get a whole lot of white space at the top.
