    Can I add power point docs to my site ?

  • admin

    Hi Dave,

    Unfortunately you cannot upload the file and have it play on your Webeden site.

    You can however use a free service called Scribd (type scribd into google to get to their site)

    This allows you to upload a document and it gives you a piece of HTML that you can place on your site using teh HTML Snippet which is located in your Library.

    I hope that helps.

    Kind regards

    Is there anyway to upload my own bespoke Flash Animation file for my intro page?

  • admin

    Hi Des,

    Yes you can do this no problem.

    All you need to do is save your animation as a .swf file. Then upload it to ‘My files’ just like you would upload a photo.

    Then all you do is insert it onto the page as though you were adding the photo. Go to File –>Insert –>My files.

    Any problems let us know. Or show us the final result!

    I was wondering how to insert a moving gif image onto the webpage, as i’ve tried a couple of different methods but none of the gifs seem to flick through their files when you view the website.

    If anyone can help i would be most grateful.

    Thanks.

    Hi Daniel,

    Unfortunately you cannot insert an animated gif onto your webeden site…..

    there is a work around…. you will need to convert the gif into a swf. You can get a free trial of Swish Max 3 now by searching google.

    All you have to to is open the gif in Swish and then click Export to SWF this will then be able to be uploaded to your webeden site.

    You can search the net for other options like “gif to swf converter” and see what you come up with…

    Hope that helps
