Okay,

I will be the first to admit, I have NO IDEA what I am doing! I am fine with making superficial changes, but this one has got me STUMPED!

Here's what I want to do...
I want to display a slideshow / flash (i'm getting a bit confused and don't know if i just reffered to the samething or diffferent thing) in the middle of the home page, where the text would be had i used the define pages editor.

I have read pages upon pages of forums and have tried all sorts of freaky stuff, and still it does't seem to work.

I have however, had the success of making it show up if I used the define pages editor in the preview section, but when i press okay and upload the file it comes up with that little annoying red "X"

Can anyone help me, in plain old english or am I way over my head?
