    Flash Banner slide show problem !!

     

    Hi Blackbaud community,
     
    We are experiencing a problem with the Flash slide show that we want to put on our home page. Flash show contains two SWF files. The first one shows the images and rotates through them and other one plays YouTube videos if you click on the slide image. I successfully created a flash part and it looked great and whenever I updated the xml file (that controls the show) it worked fine. Only part that didn't work is playing the YouTube video. Somehow the first SWF slide show doesn't seem to connect to the second SWF file. 
     
    Someone suggested that I should implement the show through a formatted text and images part, so I pasted the following code into one, using swfobject.js to make it work:
     
    <script language="javascript"
    src="http://www.foundation.fsu.edu/main/Scripts/swfobject.js"
    type="text/javascript">        </script>
    <div id="TableHomeFlash"><strong>You need to upgrade your
    Flash Player</strong> This is replaced by the Flash content.
    Place your alternate content here and users without the Flash plugin or
    with Javascript turned off will see this. Content here allows you to
    leave out <code>noscript</code> tags. Include a link to
    <a href="swfobject.html?detectflash=false">bypass the
    detection</a> if you wish. </div>
    <script type="text/javascript">
    /* <![CDATA[ */
    var so = new
    SWFObject("http://www.mydomain.org/slideshow/HomePageImageRotation.swf",
    "TableHomeFlash", "908", "345", "6", "#336699");
    so.addParam("wmode", "transparent");
    so.write("TableHomeFlash");
    /* ]]>*/
    </script>
     
    The primary SWF works well enough, but I am still having the same problem where the linked YouTube video does not work.
     
    The third thing I tried was to put it all into a frame part.  Everything works great except that the menu part drops its menus beneath the frame!
     
    I have two questions:
    1 - What is the best method to put up a multiple SWF flash project?
     
    2 - How can I make the menus drop-down on top of the Frame part instead of under it?
     
    Thanks,
    Suly
