flash as header

[koenvandamme]

My colleageu who is by no means a flash or Zencart expert, told me to copy the flash embedding code from an other source.

I just replaced the whole thing with:

<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000"
codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,0,0"
width="865" height="175" id="Untitled-1" align="middle">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
<param name="movie" value="includes/templates/theme079/jscript/logo.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="loop" value="true" />
<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
<param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff" />
<embed src="includes/templates/theme079/jscript/logo.swf" quality="high" wmode="transparent"
bgcolor="#ffffff" width="865" height="175" name="Untitled-1" align="middle"
allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" />
</embed >
</object>

And it works just fine in FF as well as in IE.

Some of the text on your site is very hard to read, unless its my eyes.

You already have SwfObject loaded, why not just keep it simple.....

<script type="text/javascript">swfobject.embedSWF("includes/templates/theme079/jscript/logo.swf", "main_w", "865", "175", "7.0.0");</script>

<div class="main_w"><p>Alternative content</p></div>

Also, so it degrades nice, you should replace 'Alternative content' with an image.
