Hello,
I know that people don’t generally like expanding flash banners, but my motive is simply to provide additional details for the sponsors of my forum, www.hawaiitalks.net
As you can see, in the upper right hand corner, I have a very simple rotating flash banner that shows the local companies that keep it going. I’d like to provide an additional service for people that are interested in using them, where each sponsor gets a drop-down menu that has a map, address, directions and contact information IF the user clicks on it, and wants to see the information for that sponsor.
Now I know enough about flash on how to create the actual banner itself, but for the life of me, I simply cannot make it extend over the rest of the page. It always ends up displaying the entire .swf file, no mater whether I make half of it transparent or not.
I’ve tried using several banners, including the Double-Click Ad Kit and some other expample flashes, but for the life of me, and through very extensive googl searching I can’t find any clear cut instructions on how to make it extend OVER the rest of the body. I’ve found some pages that sorta mention how to do it, but I really have had no luck in duplicating it.
The ad kit banner uses DART to post the banners, so there’s no example code for me to follow to see how it’s done.
Can anyone point me to a tutorial that shows how to complete the ENTIRE process, including what I’m supposed to put in the header portion of the HTML where my banner would reside?
I sincerely appreciate the help and thank you. And yes, I’ve searched Kirupa, but haven’t found anything that talks specifically about what I’m asking.
Mahalo! (Thanks!)
