1.1. Introduction

What does it do?

The Flash Page Header plugin adds the possibility to use dynamic SWF files, as page headers. It uses XML to communicate between Typo3 and Flash. The following tutorial will explain you how to use and parameter this extension, and how to build you own Flash files. A default header is included (available in both .swf and .fla formats). Feel free to use and modify those files for your projects.

Screenshots

Here's what you'll get with this plugin:

The first three screenshots are the default Flash header, included with this extension. It takes the title of the page, and animates it with some nice text effects. The last one is the default replacement picture, used if the Flash plugin is not installed. It's a GIFBuilder object, so you can also display dynamic informations on it, as you will see.
