Installation with default settings

This is a short tutorial showing how to install FameID Menu on your hosting server.

The whole installation procedure using default settings and images for menu items can be formulated with the following steps:

Extract the files from the FameID Menu distribution archive (fameid_menu_0_4.zip, for instance) that you downloaded from our website
Upload extracted files to your hosting into the desired folder. You can upload it anywhere on your server, however you can not change the structure of the subfolders extracted from the distribution archive
Add html code to your web documents that would load the menu. You can use example code in index.html from our distribution archive (everything between <object> and </object> inclusive the <object> tag)
Test that the menu works

Calling the menu from a web document

Below is the example of how to call FameID Menu from a web document (index.html, for instance). The most important parts of the code below are bold for your convinience. Please read the explanations (below the source code) of what each bold part of the code means.

Explanation of the highlighted parts of the source code

width="1000" height="245" -> defines the dimenstions of your menu on teh webpage
<param name="movie" value="fameid_menu.swf" /> -> defines the filename of the main FameID Menu movieclip
<param name="scale" value="noscale" /> -> make sure that the movie is no scaled with the change of its dimensions
<param name="salign" value="LT" /> -> this parameter is neccesary for proper positioning of the menu on the webpage

The same parameters are duplicated in the <EMBED> tag to make sure that the code is supported by all the browsers.
