Default Editing Flash player from another app - 08-20-2008 , 01:30 PM






I know I just posted a question, but I'm having an entirely separate issue.
(the joys of web design!)

As I said in my other post, I have a crossword site and am using Crossword
Forge to make the puzzles.

Inside the .app when you export the crossword for the web it makes a folder
containing different files.
1. cwf_live.swf
2. index.html
3. puzzle.xml
4. .jpg (for the background image)
5. .pdf (for the answer key)

To edit anything on the crossword page you have to open the index.html file.
I have been trying to edit these pages so they fit in with the home page and
so on. It's fine if I just put in text.
When I insert my navigation bar, logo and all the other stuff the flash player
for the crossword disappears when I publish it. It's all still there when I
open it in Dreamweaver.

I found this in their FAQ's, but I know nothing about parameters etc.:
When exporting to the web, I need to separate the html file from the rest
of the puzzle content (flash file (.swf), backdrop, and xml file). How do I do
this?
Alter the html in the generated index.html file. Add a parameter called 'base'
to the object and embed tags. This parameter needs to point to the folder which
holds the .swf file. Your other files must be grouped with the .swf. For more
information about the 'base' parameter, read this

I read this tech note and now I'm even more confused.

Here is a link to a crossword page I tried to edit:
http://crosswordbonanza.com/arts-and...rds/index.html
(The images don't work, but I'm getting to that)

Here is a link to a crossword that hasn't been edited much: (of course as
stated in my previous post the background images don't work)
http://crosswordbonanza.com/arts-and...hl2/index.html

any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Rebecca

Well , thanks so much for the help. I actually figured this out on my own. I'll
briefly describe it just in case in the unlikely event some one else has this
problem.
I found that my navigation bar was making the crossword puzzle disappear. The
nav bar's code was being thrown right in the middle of the flash player code
inserted by Crossword Forge. I had to copy and paste pieces of code here and
there and retype parts. But ti works now.

P.S. Thanks again for everyone's help!!
