Problem with flash on main page (not header)

[sartor]

Ok everyone, check out www.shoppingitonline.com as you can see there is a big grey box there, and thats where i want my flash to go. I have tried everything to make it work. Right now i'm using the code:

<object classid="clsid27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0" width="475"
height="250">
<param name="movie" value="includes/templates/template_default/flash/banner.swf">
<param name="quality" value="high">
<embed src="includes/templates/template_default/flash/banner.swf" quality="high"
pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="475"
height="250"></embed>
</object>

i have tried using the javascript method, and it did the same thing this is doing. You can find the actual flash movie at

http://www.shoppingitonline.com/incl...ash/banner.swf

This is an XML flash banner slideshow script and it for some reason refuses to work. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to make this work?

seeing that you have nice custom template . have you done template override in zencart ?

Im not flash anything . just shooting in the dark here . looking at param src .. its referring to template_default folder .. if you created you own template folder, you may wan to move flash there and see if that would do the job .

[sartor]

no, thats actually the folder we use for the template. I started doing graphic design for this company after they already rebuilt a template. so the template_defualt folder is the only template folder we have.

reading through wiki , was also suggested to put the flash in root domain .. however, that was for audio files with flash player ..

you may wan to do that and see if that solves your problem

[tony_sar]

at the footer of your site, i see one warning and one fatal error ..
you may want to have a look at those ..

[sartor]

naw, this site is a direct port of another site. We are keeping our other site live until we are done reskinning the new template, then we will put it live. the errors are there because we have a responder on the actual site.

fixed it. It seems to be a problem with putting the flash file in a sub directory. I put it in the root directory of my zen cart and it worked fine.

do you mean the text in header ( sales message goes here ) ?

if there are text that you need to change .. most of those changes are in tutorial and faq section .. also you can use your Developers tool kit in admin to find almost everything in zencart.
