language switch on splash page 2 Weeks, 1 Day ago
Hi all,

I'm fighting with the language management system. It works great for sure but I was wondering if there was a way to allow language switch before entering the site ? From a splash page like that :

www.mywebsite.com/index.html
//where users select their language

www.mywebsite.com/mycontent.html
// contains my .swf with flashblocks in it, etc

Any idea ?

Thanks!

You you can do that. Is your splash page HTML or Flash?

The splash page is just plain html with css. Ideally I'll have : one link to the language 1 and one link to the language 2.
thanks!

You will need a way to pass the choice to the mycontent page. I would use php to retrieve the choice at mycontent.php. And then pass the choice to the flash movie via swfobject's variables. So you html/php would look something like this on the receiving end.
Code: :

 
var vars = {language:'>?php echo $_GET["p"]; ?>'};
var params = {};
var attributes = {id:'flashObject', name:'flashObject'};
        
swfobject.embedSWF("movie.swf", "flashcontent", "100%", "100%", "8.0.0", null,vars, params, attributes );

thanks a lot for the direction, I'm back to the flash help for a better understanding of the whole process. I'll post the result of my research soon.

The key is learning how to pass and receive variables with php via 'get' and learning how to pass variables into flash with swfobject. A google search on each subject will bring up many tutorials. It is easier then it may sound.

Re:language switch on splash page 3 Days, 14 Hours ago
hey,

I can't find any working solution after a few hours spent on that problem so I'm back to an old school solution.

I'm still curious to understand how it works and if anybody has an idea that could be great!

Many thanks!

hi,

Thanx for the example it's way better to have to check at only one file, instead of tutorials everywhere! I have a better understanding of the process now...and the problem is solved as my client is satisfied with another solution.

Thanks a lot
