Okay see........

[John]

I just put up a flash right?  For my site that is that is currently hosted by another server it's just forwarding right now to an swf file that let's you know it's being built.  (LINK IS IN MY PROFILE SO THAT I DON'T ADVERTISE)


But since the frickin thing maximizes in the page the banners look all fuzzy and pixelated.  How do I make it say, 450x200 and put it in a frame on the page so that it will just play in that small frame like a real flash site works?


Thanks,
John

And you are...?

[John]

A complete and total stranger who stumbled across your boards.

Give that a try. And welcome to the boards.

[John]

I'm sorry was I supposed to introduce myself?  It's totally understandable if you'd like me to leave or if I did something incredulous by posting this here.......

[Halbarad]

It's a little unusual to just come onto the boards and pose a question, yes. There's no rule about introductions, but having some idea of who you are would be nice, yes.

[John]

Okay, here goes nothing then....*deep inhale*

I was born in Sacramento, CA in the late summer of 1984.  I was then transported to Germany.  Then to Alaska.  Then to Tennessee.  Then to Texas.  And then to Arkansas before joining the military.  I have one mother.  One father.  Two siblings.  One older sister, and a baby brother who is going to be 2 next July.  I joined the United States Army at the age of 18.  I am now currently stationed at Ft.Bragg, North Carolina under the 82nd Airborne Division.  I'm a paratrooper.  The few, the elite, the airborne......
*Exhale*

Anyways, I'm sure that's not enough depth at this time to cover me completely so I shalst further elaborate.


I'm not a huge fan of anime yet you ask why am I here?  I stumbled across the site honestly by pure accident when searching for a domain name.  One of the names was animeriders.com which was still unreserved.  So I decided to google search and see if it was ever previously owned.  When doing so I found the homepage to this site.  I was intrigued and said,"You know.  If you go to the boards.  There's most likely people there. " *paints L on forehead*  But anyways.  I wanted to come check out what the place was about because of all the bright pretty graphics on the front.  And me being a gamer you know every now and then we test things.  

<Scenario: Halo 2>

Dan: "Come close to me reallly quick I want to see something."
John: "Moving."
Dan: "Okay stop.  Look up just a little bit."
<Dan crouches and sneaks forward.>
John: "Okay?"
Dan: "Now aim down just a little bit so you can barely see the top of my head."
John: "What now?"
<Dan continuously depresses the joystick and releases it resulting in a sexually explicit looking movement done unto 1st player.>
John: "Wicked..."


So inevitably you're going to have a gamer test things just like this.  See how the environment is.  If it's friendly.  If it's active.  If it's not, how can it be contributed to, etc........ What the place is about.  Thoroughly enjoying first perusal at your everso dusty rules/and or regulations you may have set forth.....  Just things a new member usually does right?

Damn my self-imposed hammer restraint. I . . . wanna . . . must . . . resist . . . urge . . .

And that was when it happened.

Sure, we all thought the 'rebellion' was just a bunch of street punks looking for an excuse to loot, riot, and cause mayhem across the country.

But that was before they busted down the door, armed with whatever odd collection of fully automated weaponry they could get their grubby paws on, shot us a look, and then one of them said, "I hear one of you is a doctor.  We've got a man who's been shot.  Can you help?"

Damn my oath....

[Rezantis]

Sometimes, we're compelled by our obligations to do things we'd rather not, or omit things we'd rather not.  It's the price we pay for the road we all choose to walk, I suppose, whatever road that may be.

So the question is : is that "crazy" flash of yours working now?

And also...  since when do they use guns to shoot people? This isn't the 18th century.

Since before your time, Jeram.  Since before your time.
