<object classid=”clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000″ codebase=”http:\/\/download.macromedia.com\/pub\/shockwave\/cabs\/flash\/swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0″ width=”880″ height=”800″>\r\n\r\n<param name=”movie” value=” flash\/header.swf?par=skip<\/span>“>\r\n\r\n<param name=”quality” value=”high”>\r\n\r\n<param name=”menu” value=”false”>\r\n\r\n<embed src=” flash\/header.swf?par=skip<\/span>” quality=”high” pluginspage=”http:\/\/www.macromedia.com\/go\/getflashplayer” type=”application\/x-shockwave-flash” width=”880″ height=”800″><\/embed>\r\n\r\n<\/object>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\nIn the second case update it in this way:\r\n

It means that you can use conditions like this:\r\n
if(_root.par == “skip”){\r\n\r\n\/\/your code here\r\n\r\n\/\/you usually use gotoAndStop(); or gotoAndPlay(); functions to skip a certain number of frames\r\n\r\n}\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\nIn real situations you will usually incorporate this condition into the code for the preloader. The code for the preloader can look like this one:\r\n
onClipEvent (load)\r\n{\r\n\r\ntotal = _root.getBytesTotal();\r\n\r\n}\r\n\r\nonClipEvent (enterFrame)\r\n{\r\n\r\nloaded = _root.getBytesLoaded();\r\n\r\npercent = int(loaded\/total*100);\r\n\r\ntext = percent+”%”;\r\n\r\ngotoAndStop(percent);\r\n\r\nif ((loaded == total) && (_root.par == “skip”))\r\n{\r\n\r\n_root.gotoAndStop(200); \/\/ usually the frame number where animation finishes\r\n\r\n} else if (loaded == total) {\r\n\r\n_root.gotoAndPlay(2);\r\n}\r\n\r\n}\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/a>\r\nSee also:<\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Q: How can I make a flash header play full animation on certain pages only but skip it on the rest of the pages? A: In the HTML code of our templates you’ll find one of the following two blocks of code: The 1st one (you’ll find in our earlier templates): <object classid=”clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000″ codebase=”http:\/\/download.macromedia.com\/pub\/shockwave\/cabs\/flash\/swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0″ width=”880″ […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":13,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[355,279],"tags":[523,486,524],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.templatemonster.com\/help\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1871"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.templatemonster.com\/help\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.templatemonster.com\/help\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.templatemonster.com\/help\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/13"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.templatemonster.com\/help\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1871"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.templatemonster.com\/help\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1871\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.templatemonster.com\/help\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1871"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.templatemonster.com\/help\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1871"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.templatemonster.com\/help\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1871"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
