HTML5 and Flash on same page

Hi there,
I've searched through the manual but can't find what I do here;

I use a website builder which lets me copy html code and paste it onto my website. When I publish a flash tour embedded into my page I do this;

1 - Publish the tour in tourweaver
2 - upload files to my server
3 - copy the html code from the published files
4 - paste into my website
5 - republish my website
6 - the flash tour works

I don't know what I do with a TW7 tour published in both html5 and flash.

When I publish this I get a folder which has _auto, inside this it has three things - a flash folder, an html5 folder and an html page.

What do I have to do to get a tour on my page which can run html5 or flash? What code do I put in and where do I get this which will let my end-user access the tour on this page on flash or html5?

Many thanks,
Forrest

You use the .html file that is in the _auto folder.

This is the html that loads and detects what viewer is being used (if) iDevice it loads the HTML5 if Flash Player is installed it will delivery the html file within the Flash folder.

So, you must add the _auto html code to your web page and upload both the HTML5 and Flash folders and all contents.

Thanks as ever Smooth. I think I'm still doing something wrong and would appreciate any pointers from anyone.

Here's what I'm doing now...
1/ Publish tour
2/ Open the _auto file and upload the contents to the server
(as the contents - not as the _auto file folder itself).
3/ Open the html as notepad and copy the text - it looks like this

<html>
    <head>
         <META NAME="GENERATOR" Content="Tourweaver">
      <title>Virtual Tour Created By Easypano</title>
    </head>
    <body>
      <script type="text/javascript">
                    var _url="";
                    var _bi=window.navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase();
                    if(_bi.indexOf("iphone")>0 || _bi.indexOf("ipad")>0 || _bi.indexOf("ipod")>0) _url="html5/Sciennes%20Primary%20School%20Virtual%20Tour%20with%20text.html";
                    else _url="flash/sciennes_Sciennes%20Primary%20School%20Virtual%20Tour%20with%20text.html";
                    window.location.href=_url;
      </script>
    </body>
</html>

4/ I paste this into the html code box on my website BUT it comes up with this message;

The <tag number doesn't correspond to the >tag number. Do you want to proceed anyway?

5/ When I try to get the webpage, all that happens is that I get the tour published by easypano (which works in both ipad and on flash PC) BUT none of the webpage I made using my website appears. All I get is the skin and tour I made in EP.

Any suggestions as to what I have to do to get this embbedded into my webpage rather than replacing it?
Many thanks as always.
Forrest

You ONLY place this code within your web page (between your web page's existing body tags):

Unless you are doing it via an iFrame.

As another point:

You should NEVER leave spaces in file names. These spaces when naming should always be replace with an underscore or dash.

This Is Bad.html

this_is_better.html

Otherwise you end up with %20 being added and potentially breaking your links.

Hi again,
Still no joy with this - spoke to one of my technical friends and it seems that the html code is changing to suit html5 or flash but changes the whole page to one of the two different urls that the tour created
hence why the rest of the webpage is being forgotten about

See this link and hopefully it will make it clear what you need to do
Flash & HTML5
Hope this helps
Generally I rename the Html FIle that opens the tour to INDEX as seen in the abve link

As I don't know the program you use as a HTML editor/compiler.

An iframe is the answer. The iframe will carry all the external pano pages via a window (iframe) within your current web page. An iframe is basically a hole within your current web page that is filled with another web page of your choice. (In this case, your Tourweaver web pages)
