Snubby Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 I read this (http://www.w3schools.com/flash/flash_inhtml.asp) and I wasn't satisfied with how they 'explained' the taggs. Can some kind person please explain the taggs to me so that I can understand what they do better? Much thanks in advance. First Post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eguru Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 What part you did not understand in it,// used for IE <object width="550" height="400">// name and value of your flash file, and can be anything.<param name="movie" value="somefilename.swf">// source file of the movie and also the height and width of movie and is used for netscape.<embed src="somefilename.swf" width="550" height="400"></embed></object>The fact is that if u donot include<object> tag then IE would not able to understand your code and same thing for netscape in the case for <embed> tag.

holmedwa04 Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 Don't mean to be pinickety or anything, but I thought you were not allowed to use animated gifs in your signatures? I mean it doesn't bother me because I have broadband and it doesn't affect the load speed...It says here that you shouldn't? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eguru Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 since the forum loads from invisionize server, it does not matter coz the bandwidth is managed by them, but if it loads from w3schools it would eat enough, and also makes the forum pages to load slow if a user wants to read a thread at slower connection.donot use gif at all in your signature.

Snubby Posted October 3, 2006 Author Share Posted October 3, 2006 Sorry guys, I'm new here and am used to my forums so I didn't realize that I wasn't allowed to use animated gifs. What is IE? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

holmedwa04 Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 How? thats really cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reportingsjr Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 Its an extension called adblock, very nifty sometimes .Im guessing you've no clue what the object tag is used for?You use it to include certain types of files, like sound files, flash files, and java files. "params" are parameters that tells the browser what type of file it is and how to run it . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holmedwa04 Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 No, but I never asked what they were? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snubby Posted October 3, 2006 Author Share Posted October 3, 2006 one more quick question,<embed src="somefilename.swf" width="550" height="400"></embed>the emved tagg has nothing nested in it, so why not just...<embed src="somefilename.swf" width="550" height="400" /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snubby Posted October 3, 2006 Author Share Posted October 3, 2006 Also, what does the 'name' property in the param tagg do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reportingsjr Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 first question: I think that they meant for you to put something inbetween those originally, like params, but they never changed it back.. So if you tried <embed src="somefilename.swf" width="550" height="400" /> your web page qould mess up.. alot.second question: Defines a unique name for the object (to use in scripts)thats what I found.

The weird thing is, when I try doing <embed /> it works fine for me in both firefox and IE. proof.Much thanks for the top about second question, too.
