I want to have multiple forms on my...

Both forms open up correctly per your request. I went a step further to the Repair option on Form Builder and it removed some extra files. Still there is a glitch in what I'm trying to achieve. Would looking at the 2 html codes be of help?


1. richland_memories.xml is located in the default folder "My Forms" under Form Builder.


2. photo_submit_form.xml is located in a personal folder with my other photo .xml. It hasn't mattered where I put for different tests (removing all others each time of course)

I ran into this same problem when trying to embed three videos on the same page using a software similar to Coffee Cup, the fix was simple, and I might be able to figure out how to do this using form builder as well, but I would need to see the code.

I can, however, tell you that the first thing I would try if I were to experiment with this, would be to upload two "swfobject" files. The first one would be called "swfobject.js" and the second would be "swfobject2.js". Obviously the file names would have to correspond in the embed code inside the .xml file.

I'm not saying this is for sure fix, I'm just saying it's what I would TRY if I were troubleshooting this. If I actually had the code I would have tried it for you. I think this might be the same thing Bruzer was saying you should do, so sorry if its redundant, but this was how I solved the problem with my videos, although it wasn't a SWF file it was a different type of file.

Good luck with this.

LE,

If both forms open correctly using the generated photo_submit_form.html and richland_memories.html, that proves you have the correct items uploaded and that the forms work.

The issue is likely to be the specific locations of the files. Try providing a link to each form so we can see where the form is located and where it expects all the supporting files to be located.

Hmmm, say that just a little more simple. I'm quite a novice.

Html codes:

1. <script type="text/javascript" src="swfobject.js"></script><div id="CC5537016">Form Object</div><script type="text/javascript">var so = new SWFObject("richland_memories.swf", "richland_memories.xml", "500", "431", "7,0,0,0", "#ffffff");so.addParam("classid", "clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000");so.addParam("quality", "high");so.addParam("scale", "noscale");so.addParam("salign", "lt");so.addParam("wmode", "transparent");so.addParam("FlashVars", "xmlfile=richland_memories.xml&w=500&h=431");so.write("CC5537016");</script>

2. <script type="text/javascript" src="swfobject.js"></script><div id="CC9486214">Form Object</div><script type="text/javascript">var so = new SWFObject("photo_submit_form.swf", "photo_submit_form.xml", "650", "542", "7,0,0,0", "#ffffff");so.addParam("classid", "clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000");so.addParam("quality", "high");so.addParam("scale", "noscale");so.addParam("salign", "lt");so.addParam("FlashVars", "xmlfile=photo_submit_form.xml&w=650&h=542");so.write("CC9486214");</script>

L E,

The code is different from one form to the other. One has
so.addParam("wmode", "transparent");
and the other does not. While that may not be the cause, that is all I can tell by looking at the code.

Are both forms in the same folder? I think you said they were in different folders.

If you provide a link to the forms it is likely that someone can visit the site, locate the problem, and point to a solution.

They're in different folders. The links are behind a member's login page.

LE,

If you want more help, attach the photo_submit_form.xml and richland_memories.xml files and a list of the files in each folder where these xml files are located. With that we may be able to see the problem.

After working around, through and over the issue for sometime, I removed the original page with the first (working) form, and added the 2nd form to my other page which had turned out the distorted duplication of the first (see attachments above). That form is now in working order and all is well. May never know the conflict, but the site is working now. Thanks.
