Adding Flash To Main Page

[Globie]

Can someone please tell me how to insert flash (my .swf file) into define_main_page please???

There are some things on the forum, but not one set of instructions that tells you exactly what files you have to edit.

I've also read the Wiki http://www.zen-cart.com/wiki/index.php/Using_Flash, and tried that but nothing shows up.

PLEASE, can someone who knows about this give details, step by step instructions??

Add your flash code, via admin, to define_main page...
Previous thread below should help

Hi Misty. How do I get the code from my .swf file?

I tried inserting the code that the Zen Cart Wiki gave me with my file name and path into the main page, but it just shows up white.

Which folder did you place your flash file in?
Test in both IE7 and Firefox..

I put it in to includes/templates/mytemplate/images/myimage.swf

Did I do something wrong?

Can you post swf code you have placed in define main page?

[Globie]

Sure.

This is what I put:

<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="includes/templates/mytemplate3/images/coffee.swf" width="100%" height="100">
<param name="movie" value="includes/templates/mytemplate3/images/coffee.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high"><param name="BGCOLOR" value="#000000">
<param name="menu" value="false">
</object>

Thank you so much for looking at this with me! :)

Flash Banner added to define main page at
demo site below.

[silverspring]

take a look at my site www.winniesonline.co.uk. Now, would it be possible without disturbing the main page too much, to either a) add a banner wishing clients Merry Christmas etc above 'encourage learning - stimulate thinking etc'

or, b) could I edit the main logo down to show just Winnies then add it back and include the codes for the flash animation i.e., http://www.graphicsarcade.com/holida...lash_comments/

If so, where which path do I follow to add the banner codes ?

Your help and guidance will be appreciated.
