Flash header help please

[biggy]

Hi everyone

Ive been updating my site and have been trying to add a flash header, ive followed instructions on
http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showth...ight=swfobject
and have looked at other threads but cant seem to get it to work, infact I cant even get it to show anything but my normal header

be gratefull for any help that you can offer

my site is www.inkandcables.co.uk

header is here http://www.inkandcables.co.uk/includ...ash/header.swf


part of the code here ……

<div id="navMainSearch"><?php require(DIR_WS_MODULES . 'sideboxes/search_header.php'); ?></div>
<br class="clearBoth" />
</div>
<!--eof-navigation display-->

<!--bof-branding display-->
<div id="logoWrapper">
<script type="text/javascript" src="includes/templates/Series_12_Camera/jscript/swfobject.js"></script>
<div id="flashcontent">
This text is replaced by the Flash movie.
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
var so = new SWFObject("includes/templates/Series_12_Camera/images/flash/header.swf", "header", "750", "160", "7", "#000000");
so.write("flashcontent");
</script>

<?php
if (HEADER_SALES_TEXT != '') {

getting worse, i thought it may have been that the site had been put down for maintenance so i took it out and now i get this error on main page

Warning: main(includes/languages/english/html_includes/define_main_page.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/biggy/public_html/includes/templates/template_default/templates/tpl_index_default.php on line 39

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required 'includes/languages/english/html_includes/define_main_page.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/biggy/public_html/includes/templates/template_default/templates/tpl_index_default.php on line 39


any ideas??

in particular reason for using java to place the flash file?

particular reason for using java to place the flash file?

Re: problem with IE and Macromedia legal disputes.
Currently, IE does not display Flash correctly,
hence need to call via java script

[biggy]

i dont have a great understanding of the java/flash thing i was just following the instructions on the thread on my first post, have also tried using another way of doing it and thats the same, so im not sure what im doing wrong

This text is replaced by the Flash movie.

This is incorrect, should be your flash movie code

[biggy]

ahhhhhhhh thanks misty, i know it sounds a daft question where do i get the flash code from, a friend of mine did the header and sent me the swf file

thanks for the reply

a friend of mine did the header and sent me the swf file

Your friend should have supplied you with EXACT width and height of swf file.
Without both, not possible to configure movie code...

hi misty, he has just emailed me back the height and width of the swf file do i need anything else from him to create the swf code

790 x 153
