I know that there is a huge number of posts as to how to embed the flash banners but most of them (if not all) differ in the way they handle the subject to some extent and this is what makes me confused. In one of the earlier posts sillyboydarryl suggests the code below should be used and then he directs the lazy buddies to http://www.freddythunder.com/programs/codegen.php. The code generated here is different than what he suggests. I wonder if this makes any difference.
document.write('<OBJECT classid="clsid27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"');
document.write('codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,0,0"');
document.write('WIDTH="300" HEIGHT="156" id="paragone" ALIGN="">');
document.write('<PARAM NAME=movie VALUE="paragone.swf"> <PARAM NAME=loop VALUE=false> <PARAM NAME=menu VALUE=false> <PARAM NAME=quality VALUE=high> <PARAM NAME=bgcolor VALUE=#> <EMBED src="paragone.swf" loop=false menu=false quality=high bgcolor=# WIDTH="300" HEIGHT="156" NAME="paragone" ALIGN=""');
document.write('TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash" PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"></EMBED>');
document.write('</OBJECT>');
Secondly, I have no idea where to put this <script src src="includes/templates/blue_strip/jscript/paragone.js"></script>. I want to place the flash banner in the header so which files should I change - tpl_main or tpl_header? Is it possible to position the swf file in the header pixel by pixel? If yes how can I do that? Would anyone please be kind enough to let me know how to deal with all these matters, if possible, in a plain English?
