Hello all,

I am in a bind here…

I have an image uploader on my site which stores one image for a  
specific page (within an admin). So, within the admin, I would go to  
“Pages”, then find the page I want to edit, browse to that page and then  
use the image uploader to upload a single image for THAT page.

The image then gets called and printed using this code in the view:  
\<%= image\_tag(url\_for\_file\_column(“page”, “image”)) %\>

Thats all fine and good, however…

Now I need to use that same process, but have the image called into a  
flash.

The flash movie will be on EVERY page (in the header layout), and will  
need to call the specific page image that we uploaded through the admin.

I am totally confused and don’t know where to start… I am a newb at  
rails, so please be descriptive if you have a solution!

Thanks in advance.
