squirrelhost 10-21-2009, 06:17 PM 2) is simply a little image file called: favicon.ico
e.g. http://www.webhostingtalk.com/favicon.ico
make one yourself, or search for an online tool to create one.
Outlaw Web Master 10-21-2009, 06:22 PM "The requested URL /html/aboutus.html"
1/ you need to edit the fla menu file and make sure the directory paths are correct.
i.e remove the "html" from the links in the fla file and make sure all html files are in the root directory folder.
2/ also the small icon is a fav icon...

zomex 10-21-2009, 06:25 PM 1. Not sure sorry
2. If you are referring to the favicon you must first create the 16px by 16px image either in Photoshop or you can use a free online tool to make it. (Search Google for "favicon maker") The file should be saved as favicon.ico (May not have to be but it's easier)
Once you have your 16px by 16px icon upload it to your public_html folder. Make sure you don't put the file inside any folder other than public_html
Next you need to add the following code inside the <head></head> tags on all of your websites pages.
<link rel="Shortcut Icon" href="/favicon.ico" />
It may take a while to show the icon once you have re-uploaded your website files.
rigliz 10-21-2009, 07:26 PM concering the second question i just asked,i'v made a try & generated 32x32 favicon.ico & upload it directly to the root directory (public_html) & used the link that "Sequecehosting" mentioned ,but nothing appears at the url bar,

squirrelhost 10-21-2009, 07:29 PM the file name should be: favicon.ico
you can check it by loading http://yourdomainname/favicon.ico
in your browser

squirrelhost 10-21-2009, 07:45 PM On each page, I usually have:
<head>
<link rel="icon" href="http://domainname.com/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://domainname.com/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />
</head>

To my knowledge the image size has to be 16 by 16.
squirrelhost 10-21-2009, 08:03 PM I use 32x32 icons. WHT's favicon is 48x48.
Use 16x16 if you wish, but it's no longer necessary.
BH-Greg 10-21-2009, 08:30 PM Make your Icon and save it as favicon
Then put <link rel="Shortcut Icon" href="/favicon.ico" />
The pages you want it to show.
rigliz 10-22-2009, 10:14 AM favicon.ico is not shown in address bar, by the way i'm using IE 8 , u think tis can'b an issue !
rigliz 10-22-2009, 08:50 PM On each page, I usually have:
<head>
<link rel="icon" href="http://domainname.com/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://domainname.com/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />
</head>
your code is working 100% , i recomment eveyone to use the above code for faveicon.ico , i'm happy with it ,
thnx for you & for all the members that tried to help me.
good luck everyone!
MDwebdev85 10-26-2009, 09:46 AM For the flash link, you need to put the right url in there... so in the actionscript for the url put this:
on (release) {
getURL("http:/yoursite.com/whateverpage.html","_self","GET");
}
Now, you need 2 things... the .fla file & flash to edit the .fla file....
