How to use it?

Just for demo purpose upload all the files (and ’script’ folder as well!) to the root of your theme, it doesn’t matter which one. Now you need to call ‘WP_flash_holder.php’ in Browser but full path to this file must be used because we are currently out of WP ‘native environment’:
http://yourdomain.com/wp-content/themes/your_theme_name/WP_flash_holder.php.
For a case you are about to include WP_flash.swf in any existing template file of your theme (for example sidebar.php), things will work normally.

NOTE:

Open WP_flash_holder.php and change path to match your domain and theme name otherwise it’ll not work. For example the line reading:

<script src="http://your_domain.com/wp-content/themes/your_theme_name/script/swfobject.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

As well as:

var so = new SWFObject( "http://your_domain.com/wp-content/themes/your_theme_name/WP_flash.swf", "wpflash", "550", "400", "8" );

…must be replaced with your own data!

Files in package…

• slidestyle.css
  Flash Player supports a subset of properties in the original CSS1 specification only so basic text formatting can be done here. Not much but enough for this tutorial.
• WP_flash_holder.php
  This file is here just to properly include/embed Flash file into HTML page. In source code you can read how to include Flash in native WordPress environment (for example sidebar.php).
• script > swfobject.js
  As already mentioned, swf must be properly embed so this is nothing but a piece of javascript code required to avoid page errors and Browser warnings.
• WP_flash.fla and WP_flash.swf
  Source and rendered file used for demonstration purpose.

It’s good to know

I guess some of you already plan to make a first Flash theme so it’s good to know that each and every WP theme must fulfill minimum requirements. Theme folder MUST contain the following files: index.php, style.css and functions.php (screenshot.png). In that case you can keep all of your Flash styles in style.css and embed Flash into index.php. Remember, it’s a long way to develop Flash theme and this tutorial is just a little tiny foot step on the long path up to the hill. Enjoy!
