Websites use animated images as a header. You don't need to be an experienced programmer or web designer to place such a flash cap on your resource, you just need to know the basics. There are several ways to perform this operation.
Instructions
Step 1
Select the animation image that you want to place in the header of the site. It should be approximately 150 pixels high and 900 pixels wide. The parameters may vary depending on the width of the site and its design.
Step 2
If you have not found a suitable flash image, but have a general idea, you can try to create the animation yourself. To do this, you can use one of the special programs, for example, the Sothink SWF Easy application, which is easy to use and understandable even for beginners. As a result, you should get a file with a picture with the swf extension.
Step 3
Create an alternative static image with the extension jpg, gif or.
Step 4
Open the code for the index.php file. Create a block and insert links to the created images into it to create a flash header. Create DIV parameters in the stylesheet file template.css, specifying the width and height of the image. As a result, the flash image will be displayed in the site header on all pages, and if flash is disabled in the browser, a static image will be displayed.
Step 5
Use the Joomla extension The Flash Module to create a flash site header. This module allows you to easily and easily embed flash images on the site and create alternative images. Install The Flash Module and run it in edit mode.
Step 6
Open the "File Path" line and specify a link to the folder where the animation is saved. Mark the name of the picture in the line "Filename" and specify its dimensions. Open advanced options and specify the location of the alternate image. For custom styling, you can use the CSS module tables. Save your edits and publish the flash header to your site.
