(HTML-Flash) Using a flash movie in a signature

Because the Object tag is blocked by ezboard in signatures and topics for security reasons, many people struggle making a flash movie work in signatures. This is how to do it.

<div align="center"><embed width="??" height="??" src="URL TO YOUR FLASH MOVIE!!!!!"></div>

Works for me....make sure the movie ends with '.swf'

Replace the ?? for the size of the movie in pixels.

The div align="center" aligns the movie centrally within your signature.

The above code works because the embed tag is still allowed within signatures.
However embed is blocked within a topic on a non HTML enabled board.

IMPORTANT - PLEASE NOTE

The above no longer works in signatures for Free user accounts since the upgrade to Version 7 of all Ezboards. Ezsupporter accounts were affected for a while, until Ezboard released a patch that allowed Flash within sigs for Ezsupporter accounts yet again.

Flash movies can still be used within the advanced area of all your boards.

Re: IMPORTANT - PLEASE NOTE

If you want to use a Flash movie for your main board page banner, but only display it on the main page and NOT within the forums use the following.

The following script goes in your custom header (3rd box from the top) within your custom html area.
Edit the red sections, your board url, your flash movie url and size.

 
<script language="JavaScript">

if ( self.location == "http://pXXX.ezboard.com/bforumname" ) {

document.write('<div align="center">' +
'<embed src="http://www.server.com/images/mainbannerimage.swf" width="X" height="Y">' +
'<\/embed>' +
'<\/div>');

}
</script>
