Adding Flash Timer to Forum Widgets

by Mr Gamer July 10th 2011, 4:18 pm

Need some help if possible... I made a Countdown timer using Flash, and everytime I add it to my Forum Widgets, (specifcally the portal widgets) it 'breaks' the page... =/ What am I doing wrong?? Thanks in advance Smile

Hi, your title not being specific and therefore not facilitating research via the search option, I'm not answering (nor is any other member ) until you change your title to a more specific one, related to your problem

Why do we ask you to use explicit titles

Code:: The forum's search engine bases its research on keywords found in [b]topic titles[/b]. When you do a research, do you use "help", "urgent", "problem", "SOS" or "question" as keywords to look for topics about your problem/question? Certainly not! So this is why it is important to use titles [b]related to your problem/question[/b]. Doing this makes the researches much easier for visitors who use the search engine to get an answer to their question. Thanks for your understanding. Cordially Forumotion Staff

Maybe your code is wrong. What's your forum url?

by Mr Gamer July 11th 2011, 5:33 pm

Page is fixed, yet the widget appears as a white box.

url is, www.mrgamer.forumotion.co.uk

its on the Portal page, under the heading of Timer

Thanks.

my guess is you have the code without the uploaded flash link added?
Did you upload the flash file and add the link to it?

Other then that i would have to see your code.. and the flash file if Yoruba have it.
Or it may be you just have to modify the flash link? not sure? hard to know without seeing it.

Do you mean a countdown timer like the mw3 release countdown in my portal page?

Excuse me? Are you just advertising here? Please don't do it nextime or else you will get a warning.

Im not advertising,I was just trying to help by asking if he wanted a countdown like the one on my site.
my link is in my profile but it was easier just to post a link.
If he wants one like that I can provide him with the code if he gives me the time and dates.
I was just trying to help,sorry for any mis-understanding.

It may be that you do not have the flash link added or the link is not correct?
I would need to see the code and the flash file if you have it.The flash file would have to be uploaded to a flash host then the link added to the code.

But it might be you just do not have the link modified the correct way? it's hard to tell without seeing the code?

Its a countdown timer for Mass Effect 3...I made using Flash CS5.....I saved the file as an swf and html. I used an embed clde for the swf file, and if I put in the html file code, it stops the page loading properly...
