Hi Sebastian,
The first thing is to upload your .swf file. You can do this from the Site menu -> Manage Files.
Next, drop an HTML widget where you would like to see your Flash presentation, and paste the following HTML inside it (without the <!-- and --> lines - I just added those because GetSatisfaction tries to interpret the code):
<!--
<object width="200" height="400">
<param name="movie" value="resources/myswffile.swf">
<embed src="resources/myswffile.swf" width="200" height="400">
</embed>
</object>
-->
Then you just need to substitute "myswffile.swf" in the code above (in both places) with the name of the file you uploaded and you should see the Flash movie appear when you close the HTML widget editor. You'll need to play around with the width and height values in the text above to suit your movie's size.
Regards,
Wayne

Thanks Wayne! I just answered the same question in support by linking to this post :-) I think this is going to help a number of our users! -
It worked. Wonderful! One small issue, it came in with a large White background that not part of the flash page. Changing the size and height also changes that unwanted white background. Any thoughts?
See http://www.keyehcom.synthasite.com/ view the "card-free international call" page.

hi joey, i tried it out and, yes you can change the height, but you have to make sure you change both heights, the one in front and the one in the back. i tried it on my test site. you can see it in action here: http://test-site.synthasite.com/test-.... make sure you adjust the dimensions to around: width=400 height=273. good luck

Inappropriate?I thinks this is one of the better ways to embed presentations 'cause free online services have a lot of Banners.
I’m thankful
-
Inappropriate?i am sry but this doen't work ..this adds the flash pahe on the home page .but i am looking for the code which attach the flash intro page before the home page nd on clicking the skip button on flash intro page the user is dirested to the home page ..help me out
I’m sad

Inappropriate?Hi apj,
The page labelled index in your site manager is the one that your readers will land on when they arrive at your site. So you may wish to put your flash onto that and then you can direct them to where you wish them to go.
Have I misunderstood your question?
I’m unsure
-
Inappropriate?yeah i think u have misunderstood the question . u must have senn websites which opens with the flash intro page nd den redirects to the home page .
but in this case when i am putting the flash intro page on the index page then menu alsoo apeers with that nd behind which there is the site template but i want when i open my website a completely flash intro page opens which redirects the user to the home page
I’m sad

Inappropriate?Hi apj432,
I'm not sure this is possible with our site builder, but I'd be happy to be corrected if there are any SynthaSite users out there who have managed to do this and would be happy to share how they did it.
I’m hopeful
-
Inappropriate?Ruth is correct. It is possible to embed a flash file on your page. But it is not possible to have a flash page created with SynthaSite that opens prior to your index page that does not use one of our templates.
I will pass on your request to our developers so that they can decide whether we can develop such an option in future.
Thank you for your request. We like to hear what our customers would like that is not presently available, as this helps us with our planning.
Best wishes

I was also thinking this great feautre before publishing my website. We are waiting

Inappropriate?I love the FREE service / product that synthasite offers. It would be awesome if there were an option to have a flash intro page before having visitors be directed to the "home" / index" page.
So basically it would amount to having a blank first page for the synthasite user to use however they want, and whether this should display the menu or not... that might be the easiest way to implement it.
Keep up the good work though guys!
(still being tweaked: http://techtreepc.synthasite.com)
I’m thinking it would be nice to have this feature

Hi djknight - your code should look something like:
<!-- <object width="200" height="400">
<param name="movie" value="resources/myswffile.swf">
<embed src="resources/myswffile.swf" width="200" height="400">
</embed>
</object> -->
You can change the size by editing the width and height numbers so that it's your required size. Hope that helps! -
Inappropriate?I can't place the html code in the banner section of the site.
Is it possible to have a flash banner?
Anyone?
Thanks
