hi
to display swf files in my site, i'm using this basic html tag :

<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="400" height="100">
                <param name="movie" value="banner.swf" />
                <param name="quality" value="high" />
                <embed src="banner.swf" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"  type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="100"></embed>
    </object>

it works for basic html file or asp.net app, but when i add this tag within page.ascx it only display the white area!

Unless banner.swf is located in the root folder of the DotNetNuke installation, you will need to include its root folder relative path when setting the movie and src parameters. Where is banner.swf located in the file system?

Thanks wiliam
i've tested out this via relative path. for example, i copied my swf to the same folder which page.ascx exists, but also it does not works.

Make sure you can reach your swf file using http://whathever.com/somefolder/yourfile.swf and just use that full url (including http://).

You code up there looks fine, I am almost sure it's just a problem of giving it the right url. If that file was uploaded in a portal then it must be in "/Portals/PortalID/SomeFolder/YourFlash.swf or semething along those lines. A relative path in DotNetNuke refers to the root folder and not the Portal folder.

On a sidenote, I would add if that flash gets anywhere close to some popup menu or anything using z-index to prevent them from being hidden by the flash. I only tell you that because I have spent countless hours trying to find the reason for it back then ;) If you flash is not set to transparent, then it is always on top of everything, regardless of z-index.
