Flash on Pages

[gl3ny]

Zen Cart 1.3.8a
Server OS: Linux 2.6.33mtv1
PHP Version 5.2.6

I have successfully got flash embedded on my product category pages but somewhat less successfully working on the home page and it won't work at all on the product page.

This code has been placed in the html_header.php:

<script type="text/javascript" src="includes/templates/MYTEMPLATE/jscript/swfobject.js"></script>

If put www.mySite.com in the browser, the flash does not load.

If I click on the home page link or the logo, the flash loads. However, the browser address shows www.mySite.com/index.php?main_page=index

Anyone know how I can fix this?

Try doing this correctly
Remove what you edited

Rename swfobject.js to jscript_swfobject.js and load it to your template jscript folder
Now it will be loaded automatically when needed
Tutorial outlines a specific page but also the same for any jscript

I did exactly what you said by removing the js from html_header.php and renaming the file swfobject.js in includes/templates/MYTEMPLATE/jscript to jscript_swfobject.js. Still getting the same results:

www.mysite.com - no flash loaded
www.mysite.com/index.php?main_page=index - flash loaded

Have to click on either my logo or my home link to load the flash.
