I see the problem in the code that's being called but i don't know how to change it.

<script type="text/javascript">embedFlash("/my_cart/includes/templates/template_default/nnez_com/flash/header","800","144","");</script><noscript><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0" width="800" height="144" id="nnez_com" align="middle">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
<param name="movie" value="/my_cart/includes/templates/template_default/nnez_com/flash/header.swf" /><param name="quality" value="high" /><param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff" /><embed src="/studiostyles_0905/store/zen-cart-090706/includes/templates/nnez_com/header.swf" quality="high" bgcolor="#ffffff" width="800" height="144" name="nnez_com" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" />
</object></noscript>
</div

When it first looks for the .swf it's not seeing it because the ".swf" extension is missing. where do i add this .swf?

Here is what my nnez_flo_output.php looks like:

lawbird, nnez_flo_output.php makes a call to jscript_nnez_flash.js :: embedFlash() which appends the .swf extension (you can see the function in the code you posted).

if you call get_flashed() with a filename that includes the .swf extension, it will definitely not work... unless you wanna try naming your flash file myflashfile.swf.swf then it might, never tried it.

cheers ^.^

[Lawbird123]

Tried that... doesn't work. What am I doing wrong?

[neunetllc.com]

if you have more than 1 user-defined template in your zc installation, try copying jscript_nnez_flash.js from template_default/ to {YOUR_TEMPLATE}/

our over rides have been buggy with zc 1.3.5 /jscipt/ file over rides. although the 'click to activate' flash issue should be resolved for any zc template, it's better to have it fixed for at least 1 active template than none, n'est-ce pas?

hope this helps.

if not, will you please include a url we could look at (or pm/email me)?

rockin! that did it!

thanks a lot.

New problem:

It's throwing off my center-alignment....

Here's my URL:

http://www.studiostyles.net/studiost...n-cart-090706/

I had everything center-aligned before. Is there anything I need to change in this code to get it back?

[neunetllc.com]

not sure exactly what you mean, but nnez flo does nothing but embed .swf, flash objects while handling the 'click to activate' issue and still embeds the .swf file if scripts are disabled.

no style formatting of any kind is included. if you want it centered, with padding, a border, etc, nnez flo will not do that and with good reason.

...but glad to know it fulfilled its purpose!

Hi neu net llc

the download link returns a "product not found"
Is the mod still available for download?
