Problem with Flash Header

[nacidoporfe]

Hi:
I wonder if someone can help me. I have changed my header logo into a flash on but the flash.swf doesn´t load. I mean, it seems that it loads but theres is no image and the page doesn´t finish loading.
When I roll the mouse over the flash image there is a message that says: "click to activate and use the control".
I don´t know what to do.

Please help me!!!

Maybe it could be important: I´m using 1.3.5 ZenCart version. How many files do I have to change in this version in order to change to a flas header?

You are more than likely using IE to view your site and therefore you are caught in the problem with IE and Macromedia legal disputes.

See this post for information on getting flash to display properly in IE :

Hi Tina, thanks a lot for answering me. I have some more questions. I understand that I have to create a javascript file but:
1. I´m using a customized template, Do I have to create a directory name jscript" or I have to put the java script in Template_default/jscript?
2. After de java script I have to write this :"<script src="includes/templates/blue_strip/jscript/paragone.js"></script>". Where do I write it? I mean; What subdirectory or file?

Thanks a lot for your time.

You would want to place the javascript portion in the folder includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/javascript

The code to call it will go where you would normally put you <embed....... > code so in your case it would be in includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/common/tpl_header.php since you are using a flash header.


Hope that helps clarify it a little more for you !

did you get your problem resolved?

the first and more important symptom, that the page doesn't finish loading, is indicative of your site not finding the .swf file where it's pointed to.

the second symptom will be there whether the flash file loads or not, if you don't have the [script] embedded properly. i'm suprised by how many sites out there do not remedy the click to activate issue for their visitors (including major corporate sites that represent big $).

Hi
I found just use a gif file in flash so easy not swf file. Deam weaver CS3 and the new MSN 2008 front page web design both seem harder to use, so gone back to front page 2003 Jocar

Can anyone please help with a flash problem.

I'm trying to add a flash slideshow to my "define_main_page.php"
area of my zen cart site. I'm not sure how, what or where I'm supposed to place code. Can someone please direct me in the right direction. Right now I have an embedded youtube video.

The site is www.childlocatorsystems.com

Thanks in advance.

I installed the fine fckeditor contribution and this allows you to simply embed your flash movie straight into the page using the define page editor function in admin.

Example: www dot fingertipcrafts dot net

Hope this helps.
