I managed to use .swf objects by changing this code:

<div id=”ja-topstory” style=”background: url(<?php ja_loadHeader(‘user9’);?>) top left; height: 200px;”>
<?php mosLoadModules ( ‘user9’,-2 ); ?>
</div>

with this:

<div id=”ja-topstory” style=”top left; height: 200px;”>
<?php mosLoadModules ( ‘user9’,-2 ); ?>
<div align=”left”>
<object classid=”clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000″ codebase=”http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,19,0″ width=”832″ height=”200″>
<param name=”movie” value=”<?php echo $ja_template_path;?>/images/header/header_image13.swf” />
<param name=”quality” value=”high” />
<embed src=”<?php echo $ja_template_path;?>/images/header/header_image13.swf” quality=”high” pluginspage=”http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer” type=”application/x-shockwave-flash” width=”832″ height=”200″></embed>
</object>
</div>

Although, i can not make it use the user9 module in order to place different kind of flash animations in different pages through the modules section of joomla administration.

The above codes places the same flash object in user9 position in all of the pages.

It is quite good for the moment but if anyone has any suggestions why not improve it 😉

P.S. the smiley in the code was put automatically for the : D (without space) text.

I figured it out finally and now works smoothly. I post the changes in the code for anyone interested. In the modules section, you have to create the same user9 modules, with the only difference that you use the .swf ending than the .jpg

You change this in the index.php file around line 186:

<div id=”ja-topstory” style=”background: url(<?php ja_loadHeader(‘user9’);?>) top left; height: 200px;”>
<?php mosLoadModules ( ‘user9’,-2 ); ?>
</div>

with this:

<div id=”ja-topstory” style=”top left; height: 200px;”>
<?php mosLoadModules ( ‘user9’,-2 ); ?>
<div style=”position:absolute; margin-right:inherit; margin-left:0; z-index:1; visibility: visible” align=”left”>
<object classid=”clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000″ codebase=”http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,19,0″ width=”<?php detectWide();?>” height=”200″>
<param name=”movie” value=”<?php ja_loadHeader(‘user9’);?>” />
<param name=”quality” value=”high” />
<param name=”wmode” value=”transparent” />
<param name=”bgcolor” value=”#ffffff” />
<embed src=”<?php ja_loadHeader(‘user9’);?>” quality=”high” wmode=”transparent” bgcolor=”#ffffff” pluginspage=”http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer” type=”application/x-shockwave-flash” width=”<?php detectWide();?>” height=”200″></embed>
</object>
</div>
</div>

and in the ja_templatetools.php, around line 121:

foreach ($modules as $module){
$filename = $module->title;
$regex = ‘/(.gif)|(.jpg)|(.png)|(.bmp)$/i’;
if (is_file($ja_template_absolute_path.”/images/header/”.$filename) && preg_match($regex, $filename)) {
return “$ja_template_path/images/header/” . $filename;
}
}
return “”;

with this(notice that I only added the “|(.swf)” in the third line):

foreach ($modules as $module){
$filename = $module->title;
$regex = ‘/(.gif)|(.jpg)|(.swf)|(.png)|(.bmp)$/i’;
if (is_file($ja_template_absolute_path.”/images/header/”.$filename) && preg_match($regex, $filename)) {
return “$ja_template_path/images/header/” . $filename;
}
}
return “”;

and in the same file(ja_templatetools.php) add somewhere the following functions (that corrects the witdh of the template if the user changes from wide to narrow and vica versa):

function detectWide(){
global $screenWide, $ja_width;
if ($ja_width==’wide’){
$screenWide=832;
}else if($ja_width==’narrow’){
$screenWide=612;
}
echo $screenWide;
}

Now place your flash animations in the header directory and enjoy nice animated flash headers! 😎

P.S. the smiley in the code was put automatically again, for the : D (without space)!

Hello,

For anyone intersted I slightly edited the above code in order to make functional the drop down menu over the flash animation.

edited: If you want to avoid having this box around your flash animation in the latest versions of internet explorer study this page:

and you can adjust your code easily. If you have any questions post them here. I will gladly help.

Best regards,
