    I am a beginner in DotNetNuke, and I have a question for people who are more familiar with the system.

    I was playing around with adding Flash games to DNN through the text module, as outlined in the How To Display Flash Games in DotNetNuke tutorial (http://www.dnncreative.com/Tutorial...ult.aspx), and I came across a few games on MiniClip Games (http://www.miniclip.com/games/en/we...games.php) which would not load past the Miniclip games advertisment, and showed a color border on the left and right sides of the game. I fixed this by changing <param value="False" name="PLAY"/> to <param value="True" name="PLAY"/>. The game works now, but I was wondering if there was another (maybe 'better') way to do this.

    Hello and welcome to the forum!

    For some games you have to change the settings for the game to play correctly.  Just make sure that your settings work in the various browsers and as long as they do you should be ok.

    Thanks,

    Hi Lee,
    Thanks! The games do work in both Firefox and IE, which are the only two I have access to here, so it looks like it worked fine.

    Ok, well it isn't working in Firefox now. It works ok in IE, though.

    OK, you have to set the second Play parameter to True as well for the game to work in Firefox... It looks like my first fix was just an IE cheat, because it doesn't read code very well... heh.
