I am trying to embed a flash slide show in XHTML strict.
This is the code I am using and that is not working:
<object type=”application/x-shockwave-flash” data=”/slideshows/newlyweds.swf” width=”500″ height=”500″>
<param name=”movie” value=”/slideshows/newlyweds.swf” />
</object>
I first used:
<object type=”application/x-shockwave-flash” data=”newlyweds.swf” width=”500″ height=”500″>
<param name=”movie” value=”newlyweds.swf” />
</object>
This code works fine, the flash file and images are in the same folder as the html file.
However, I have many flash slide shows for many pages so I am trying to put them in sub-folders (slideshows/newlyweds.swf). When I do that the flash file is not showing up on my html page. I tried linking them directly, http://www.example.com/slideshows/newlyweds.swf but that didn’t work either.
So this is how it goes

Hi guys, I’m pretty good with HTML and CSS. My company paid a developer to make us a flash game. If i open his directory and run the html file locally from my computer, the game runs fine. However, Once I upload them to the server, the loader counts to 100% and then nothing on the screen.
I’ve tried from Dreamweaver, FTP Voyager and Ipswitch. I tried both Binary and ASCII. I tried switching some links in the html file. Nothing has worked.
It’s entirely possible the linking is incorrect, or that the Flash uses class files that aren’t properly linking? Some Flash requires class files, which is a bit burgeonsome but is a trait of ActionScript 2/3.0.
Look through your code, both HTML and ActionScript, for any of this:
file:\C:my documentsflashsomefile.swf
Use absolute relative linking, in both the Flash and your files,
/flash/somefile.swf
Not with the CWD syntax:
../flash/somefile.swf
Should work! Read the rest of this entry »
I am putting some product images on my website.So what is the best way of resizing jpegs to get them all the same size (roughly)?
Irfanview in batch mode. Takes a few clicks to resize any number of images.
And the best part….. It’s free. It has many other features as well. Irfanview is one of the best image utility programs around. For basic image manipulation that most of the population is doing it’s really all that is needed.
If you have it, use Photoshop. You can automate a batch to get everything done very quickly. Or, if the images are already compressed well for the web and similar in size, just not exact, you can just use CSS on your page.In my view the very best software for this is … smart saver pro by ulead.
You can set up a batch very easily and set the resize to a max width and/or height, thus all your pics of whatever size will be resized to the same height or width.
There is a free 30 trial, i don’t know if it’s been updated recently but my copy is several years old and works like a dream. The compression is better than photoshop/image ready and easier to use. eg better images with smaller file size.
The best batch processing software is and has been for many years DeBabelizer.
There is a bit of a learning curve, but it does exactly what you are looking for and much, much more. Read the rest of this entry »
