How/Where do I add Flash Script to Zen-Cart?..

[kevinw]

What is the trick to make it work? What do I place where?

I have just created a Flash file with graphics, links and such - for an ez-page and another for the home page...
I have the script and html from Flash CS4.
What is the trick to make it work? What do I place where?
I don't see any comments these past 3 years - so I must be looking in the wrong place... Or it is too easy and I can't see it...
I know how to add the code for animated .gifs, just not .swf

When these work I will also make a new dropdown menu also -


Thanks..

well for the home page why don't u add it to the index.php page in your public_html folder for the ezpages maybe you just add the script normally but don't quote me on that part

I got this to work - through lots of looking and trials...

<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="images/banners/home090622b.swf" width="515" height="535">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" />
<param name="movie" value="images/banners/home090622b.swf">
<param name="quality" value="high"><param name="BGCOLOR" value="#ffffff">
<param name="menu" value="false">
<param name="wmode" value="opaque">
<embed src="images/banners/home090622b.swf" quality="high" bgcolor="#ffffff" width="515" height="535" name="home090622" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="always" allowFullScreen="false" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer" wmode="opaque"/>
</object>


========================
Changes from the code generated in Flash...

To stop "sandbox errors" as I linked from flash to website.
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" />
allowScriptAccess="always"

To allow css drop-down menu to show over the flash movie
<param name="wmode" value="opaque">
wmode="opaque"

Find file with relative addressing - no initial "/"
<param name="movie" value="images/banners/home090622b.swf">
data="images/banners/home090622b.swf"
src="images/banners/home090622b.swf"

This also works with direct addressing "http://www...etc" but
then it needs to be changed from test to production environment. Same for the flash files...

I did not use the general solutions (swobject) as it didn't seem to be necessary.

Works on Firefox, IE, Safari all tested on a pc.
