i know how to write the tags for flash that's not the problem. It's the location of the flash file that is giving me problems i think.
Can you use relative paths to .swf files from within Zope?
Plone is going to resolve paths according to the skin search order.
In one example I looked at they had something like this src="/swf/logo.swf" - i added this file in my file system relative to the zope_home but i still cannot see it.
I just tested this with uploading the dot-swf file into /portal_skins/custom/ (you could also embed with an absolute URL.) Then I modified the /portal_skins/global_logo by pasting the embed code between these tags <h1 id="portal-logo" metal:define-macro="portal_logo"> </h1>
Can anyone bring me up to speed on using file system objects in Zope?
You can add filesystem directories by adding LocalFS objects in portal_skins and then adding those as layers in the properties tab of portal_skins. btw, you should direct your Plone questions on the Plone list. -- David
