Adding Flash Files

Here's how you can add Flash (Shockwave) files, like the one below, to your Homestead page.

You'll first have to uploaded your .swf file(s). Once you've done that, you'll need to add the following code to your page, following the directions outlined below.

To get the Flash/Shockwave code:

1. Highlight the entire code in the box above with your mouse and copy it by hitting 'Control' and 'C' at the same time.

2. Open your page in SiteBuilder and add an HTML Snippet Element.

3. Click the 'Edit' button. The Element Editor window should appear (it may already be open).

4. Click the 'Edit HTML' button.

5. Paste this code within the HTML window by pressing Control-V.

6. Edit this code according to the explanations below (The COLORS explained).

The COLORS explained:

your_file is the name of the flash or Shockwave file you want to use. For example, this page's Shockwave file is name "coyote.swf".

width_in_pixels and height_in_pixels are the dimensions you'd like your Flash or Shockwave file to have when displayed on your page. Please adjust your dimensions here, then adjust the actual HTML Snippet's dimension in the Element Editor to match these dimensions you've specified. For example, on this page, the code for my Flash file looks like this:

But, at the same time, in the Element Editor, I've made this HTML Snippet's dimesions to also have a height and width of 400.
