FLASH in the AVATAR

[SK15]

To a legal Mod it would be also for files " *.swf " in the avarts...  
but I am without idea of as to begin to do one

I've actually had users do this with a SP1 board.  Don't quite remember how, but play around with it.

OK thank you very much for the restored...  
I will continue heavy why he has to differentiate what is image than flash to place the correct codes

if you wnat to find a files extension, use:

Code Select Expand

substr($avatar, -3);
That will give you the file extension. Then check it off an array.
Not sure how YaBB does it, but I'm sure it should be easy. Make sure you change $avatar to the given var.

For flash, you can't just put something like <img src like you can an image and just put a .swf, flash is an embeded object, it requires extra code.

Actually all it takes is one line of info!
What I did makes all *.swf files in your Avatars Directory Register with the other JPG,GIF,PNG in that dir.

I'm just starting the Advanced Avatar Section now, and this and more will be included.

Oh I see, so it's visable, gotcha
Still doesn't make it work though

Advanced Avatar Section? Feel free to let me beta test it when ready

[Big P]

Does on my localhost! Its like linking to a *.swf file, doesn't that work? If not I'll have another looksee!

The avatar mod wont be done for a while though! It's very big, and quite tricky!

By "linking" do you mean <img src="blah.swf"> ?
If so, it shouldn't..
Here's the code for using swf (already coded for php):

Code Select Expand

<object classid=\"clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000\" width=\\1 height=\\2><param name=movie value=\\3><param name=play value=true><param name=loop value=true><param name=quality value=high><embed src=\\3 width=\\1 height=\\2 play=true loop=true quality=high></embed></object>
