Using Flash in your HTML


  • Edit your Publish settings for Flash SWFs and HTML to reflect how you want your Flash SWF to appear in your web page.
  • Export your Flash movie as HTML.
  • Locate your HTML file on your computer, right-click, and select "Open With".
  • Choose either NotePad or another text editor.
  • Copy the source code from the HTML file.
  • Paste it into your web page's source code in the appropriate location where you want your SWF file to display.
  • Edit the file path to reflect the location of the SWF file on your web server, and upload both your HTML and SWF file to the appropriate directories on your server. (Note: this also applies if you're using PHP, JSP, ASP, CGI, or other web page extensions.)
Your code should look something like this:
<OBJECT classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,0,0" WIDTH="320" HEIGHT="240" id="Yourfilename" ALIGN="">
<PARAM NAME=movie VALUE="Yourfilename.swf"> <PARAM NAME=quality VALUE=high> <PARAM NAME=bgcolor VALUE=#333399> <EMBED src="Yourfilename.swf" quality=high bgcolor=#333399 WIDTH="320" HEIGHT="240" NAME="Yourfilename" ALIGN="" TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash" PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"></EMBED> </OBJECT>
Most of this you don't need to touch, so don't worry about making sense of that. The italicized section sets the codebase for the version of Flash used, to check against to see if your user has that version. The rest has taglines to download the Flash player (if the user doesn't have it) and the parameters that you would need to edit--mainly, the line labeledEMBED src="Yourfilename.swf".
By default only the file name would be there, because Flash publishes the SWF and the HTML file in the same folder together with your FLA file. However, you may want to put your SWF files in a separate subfolder on your server, perhaps a folder labeled "flash"--in which instance you would edit the code to read EMBED src="flash/Yourfilename.swf".
Trust me, it's much simpler than it sounds. Give it a try and find out for yourself.

Hubot and Hipchat

Many of us have struggle with concept of L1, and L2 support and maintenance which can be very expensive and transitioning is a living hell. What we wish is the ability for both of them to work together and make a smooth transition. So I have started to think it would be cool to make this happen for a organization which runs 1200+ servers and have teams to support product and infra both. The Idea was to start with collaboration between teams which can be extended to request and support basis. To extend it further we discovered  that product team works for 24x7 and infra team is 18x7. Now it is important to design it in a way that product team can manage it 24x7 with minimum and no help from infra team(L2).  Solution: Solution was to use a collaboration tool which supports API for our tools to maintain alert level. For that please refer my previous blog describing configuration of Icinga and Hipchat. Next logical step is to configure hipchat to support robot system ...

Read a File line by line in Shell

I've used a few techniques for this kind of reading but gets failed until I've read this fine blog . http://www.bashguru.com/2010/05/how-to-read-file-line-by-line-in-shell.html this helps a lot and i have developed a trick for me. Refer to the following example to examine the script : #!/bin/bash #SCRIPT: method2.sh #PURPOSE: Process a file line by line with redirected while-read loop . FILENAME=$1 count=0 while read LINE do let count++ echo "$count $LINE" done < $FILENAME echo -e "\nTotal $count Lines read" I have passed the file in the end of the loop so i didn't need  to use pipe that is why i process the file in fastest manner and gives  the required output in a quick manner. However i can use one more thing the File Descriptors. The File Descriptors are similar to the normal file pointers however in  more analogue way.If you have used C then you will have familier with the  the default file openers in C "st...
