Thanks, Monte, for your reply. No insult to Smarty intended. Just
frustration coming out, after countless experiments and variations!

The problem, here, is that the SWF menubar in question is already
working in a number of my websites. For an example, go to:
"http://www.westerncardinal.com/wci_pages/WCI_SalesMain.php".
It's not a question of whether the SWF in question works - it does.

This is the exact, same menubar I'm attempting to run within my simple
Smarty application. The Smarty application, by the way, is the one from
Chapter 2 of the PACKT book, "Smarty, PHP Template Programming and
Applications", by Gheorghe, Hayder and Maia. Except for this menubar
issue, the application runs perfectly, and as designed.

Interestingly, if I substitute a reference to a simple JPEG image, in place
of the SWF reference, the image is visible. One sidenote, however. When
I reference the JPEG within my "images" subdirectory from the TPL file in
the "templates"subdirectory (both subdirectories are at the same level),
DreamWeaver CS3, as I would expect it to, makes the following reference: "../images/my_image.jpg". In order to make it work, though,
I have to manually change the reference to "images/my_image.jpg",
because it appears that the compiled TPL file is "promoted" up one level,
to the level ABOVE the "templates_c" subdirectory and, from there, it
expects to find my JPEG at "images/my_image.jpg", and not at
"../images/my_image.jpg".

Still stumped, still frustrated! Yikes!

Just to be shure...

All references to javascript sources like
<script src="../Scripts/AC_RunActiveContent.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

images, CSS files etc. are loaded by the browser and not by smarty. For that reasion the path specifications must be relative to the URL of the page and not relative to the template folder.

As Dreamweaver does not know that smarty will pick up the template from another location as the page root it does insert wrong references.

Eureka! The lost is found! It works!

Thinking about my last post, and the two replies from our trusty
administrators, I realized that I was forgetting to correct BOTH
required references for a SWF to work correctly. Through all my
testing, I had changed only the references to the SWF, itself, and
was not correcting the reference to "Scripts/AC_RunActiveContent.js".
In my TPL file, Dreamweaver CS3 was making the references to
"../images" and "../Scripts", and I was fixing only ONE of them, the
one to the SWF.

Thanks, everyone! My disease has been cured!

To make paths easy, use absolute paths from the doc root. Then no matter where you call them from, they should work.

Ok, got it.

For anyone else out there who's looking for a working example, here's a tpl running a SWF generated by Flex:

Hello. This is my first post so I cant include URLs. Can someone help me figure this out please?

I saw this thread and I am having the same issue. I included the following and a blank area displays where my flash file should appear. Here is the information in the home.tpl :

{* BEGIN MIDDLE COLUMN *}
div style='float: left; width: 480px; padding: 0px 10px 0px 10px;'>

There is more information here but this system will not allow me URLs
{literal}pwapn.swf{/literal}

Thank you in advance for any help!

Regards,

Carlos

Dear Sirs,

Please help me.

I have Smarty template and I need to integrate my flash swf in it.

My code in html (from Macromedia Flash Cool

:

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=koi8-r" />
<title>flash/flash5</title>
</head>
<body bgcolor="#000000">




<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0" width="960" height="600" id="flash/flash5" align="top">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
<param name="movie" value="flash.swf" /><param name="quality" value="high" /><param name="scale" value="exactfit" /><param name="salign" value="lt" /><param name="bgcolor" value="#000000" /><embed src="flash.swf" quality="high" scale="exactfit" salign="lt" bgcolor="#000000" width="960" height="600" name="flash/flash5" align="top" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" />
</object>
</body>
</html>

So you can see that I need strict (fixed) dimensions: width="960" height="600".

I've done in my tpl file:

{include file='header.tpl' p="general"}

<noscript>

<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
id="FlexPHP_Contacts" width="960" height="600"
codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/swflash.cab">
<param name="movie" value="flash.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff" />
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
<embed src="flash.swf" quality="high" bgcolor="#ffffff"
width="960" height="600" name="FlexPHP_Contacts" align="middle"
play="true"
loop="false"
quality="high"
allowScriptAccess="sameDomain"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
pluginspage="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer">
</embed>
</object>
</noscript>

{include file='footer.tpl'}

But... In result height is width is correct (960px) but height is 340px always (not full).

I tried to use {literal} - same problem.

In any html file this code is ok always.

What to do?

Thanx in advance.
