Thanks

Hi Ethan;


I use Netobjects 3 for all my projects and, when using Flash, I insert the

Aftershock code around the "plugin" element. This gives you the ability to

keep changing the Flash movie in a GUI  environment, whilst still have the

Aftershock code produced whenever you publish.


1) import your flash movie into Fusion 3 by clicking the "blue jigsaw

piece" icon, which imports the flash movie as a "plugin", and therefore

uses only the EMBED tag upon publishing. Netobjects made a huge oversight

when they gave Fusion3 an import "Shockwave" capability. If you import

flash movies into Fusion3 as a "shockwave" element you automatically get

the OBJECT and EMBED without anyway (within Fusion) to wrap the javascript

code around the EMBED tag.

2) You can now go to Page View, right-click on the "plugin" element on your

Fusion page and choose "Object HTML", then insert the aftershock code

BEFORE and AFTER the element, so that Fusion's auto-written EMBED tag ends

up being part of the javascript document.write statement.

3) Be sure to publish the page with Flash using "regular tables", not

"nested tables" so your users don't get the Netscape 2 and 3 javascript

written on their screens, due to the bug.


Hope this helps.


Andrew
