Title: Flash in webpage noobie help
Post by: neljan on February 08, 2008, 05:52:58 PM

Hello

I have an SWF file (a slideshow) which I would like to use in MySpace but it is slowing down my entire page load with the user not seeing anything for around 2 minutes (the file is only 2mb).

I would like the flash player to load the file AFTER the page has loaded, perhaps with a loading animation.

I think I need to use an xml playlist? if so, I'd really appreciate some direction...

Here's the code I am using at the moment in MySpace:

<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowScriptAccess="never" allowNetworking="internal" height="300" width="400" data="http://www.path_to/MySlide.swf">
  <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="never" />
  <param name="allowNetworking" value="internal" />
  <param name="movie" value="http://www.path_to/MySlide.swf" />
  <param name="menu" value="false" />
  <param name="quality" value="high" />
</object>

Thanks in advance for any help

As computer reads html code from top to bottom, maby try to put the code at the buttom of the page then you site will load first then your swf, well i think theres is another way but i am not sure

Thanks Elexir

I have actually had to give up on the idea as I got no replies for help on 6 different forums in over a week.

Thanks anyway.
