Ok http://www.specialistmotorsales.com/

It works in my FF, Chrome and IE... can anyone else see the flash?

Yes, the whole site is flash, again. I changed it to a static banner, no flash... but bossman liked all flash and wanted it back the way it was.

I keep reading something about an swobject.js Supposedly using that will let any brower view it with no problems?

Is there some way to set it up so that those with flash willv iew flash and those who don't have flash can view a static image?

Yes that's absolutely possible. And yeah swobject.js is a good way to go, but it requires some JS glue to get it working.

You could put the "non-flash" static top in that area where it currently says "Fail...blah blah flash" Remove the fail message, put in the static banner...bob's yer uncle.

You know where to find me if you're having any specific problems.

so instead of this...

<div id="header">
<div class="center">
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,24" width="780" height="382">
<param name="movie" value="flash/header_v8.swf?button=1" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="menu" value="false" />

<object data="flash/header_v8.swf?button=1"
width="780" height="382" type="application/x-shockwave-flash">
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="menu" value="false" />
<param name="pluginurl" value="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" />
FAIL (the browser should render some flash content, not this).
</object>

</object></div>
</div>

it would go like this?

Yeah, assuming that images/header.jpg is going to be all you want there. You can put fairly much any HTML there and it'll work, so you could do divs and spans and what-not.

That flash header has the navigation menu as well. If I can add more html to that, then I guess I can also add a normal/non flash navigation menu as well. Interesting.

Part of it, but it doesn't look right. To see for yourself, you can open Chrome, go to "about:plugins" and disable Flash, then reload the page.

By The Way...

I can't keep my mouth shut anymore. You gotta do something about that facebook thing. I'm sorry, I know you got king-tut 20 years in auto sales (But I'll point out, not 20 years in social media) telling you to do it...fine...but don't make it SO huge and in your face. It looks like content, and it's not.

I would make it smaller so it's about the same height as the text, and then center the slide-show image below both of them. Something. But you've got too many faces, and it's too big. It screams "I AM TRYING TI DISTRACT YOU FROM CARS"

AtlantaSteve · « **Reply #57 on:** August, 31, 2011, 02:34:44 PM »

Por Ejemplo, here's something I tossed together. I moved the <center>...</center> for the slider down to the bottom (BTW, <center> is deprecated.), right under the "clear:both" div, and changed the height on the facebook likeBox iFrame to 200px (Both in the iFrame definition, and in the src tag for the iFrame)

If you need me to explain anything let me know.

I'm only putting it together how the boss wants it. I like just the single Facebook icon

I had originally at the bottom of the page in the footer, but he liked it with the faces and stuff. I'll ask him if he'll be ok with something smaller like you posted.

I have a boss, too...I know how that goes :P
