Hello all. I am currently wanting to put two swf movies in my top header – one on the right where the newsflashes are normally shown (I have removed this) and one on the right where the random images are shown (I have removed this too.) I have successfully put the swf on the right in by hardcoding it directly into the index.php but everytime I try to do the same with the other swf, they don’t want to sit next to eachother and one or the other either shifts to a new line or it creates a lot of space underneath. How do I do this? It’s probably a really stupid question I know. I could have just made one but long swf to go across the top but won’t that make it incompatible for smaller screen resolutions? Ta!

I would set the template to one width and make the swf file that width. Then you dont need to think about others screen resolutions.

Okay, thanks! Sorry if I seem a bit stupid, but what do I need to do to make it one width – and if I do that, won’t that be too large for some screens (say for instance 800×600)? Isn’t that why putting 2 seperate files is better because the gap between them can close?

Then i would make them lets say 300 to 350 px wide each, and make one float left and on right side of it have white color(or any color you like), and the other one float right and on left side have white color. so you can use a plain background color in the gap between them.If you gonna show thoose flash files on all pages its ok to hard code them into the template, if not i would use two module positions there.
