Category image getting cut off on the right and bottom

I'm on ZenCart 1.38
I've added a flash banner to one of my category descriptions and it looks nice, but it cuts off a little on the right and the bottom of the banner making the image in the banner look not quite positioned like its supposed to be. I've tried re-sizing the banner, resizing images in admin, but still can't figure out why it's doing this.

Here is the page: http://expressmetabolics.com/store/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=5

Can someone please help me out on where to fix this?

thanks!

Rl,
Your image size is 700 x 864

1. Try 500px x 864px
2. the 500 is width

I'm not sure how/where to change the image size. I created the banner in BannerZest Pro and it says that it's 650 wide by 250 tall. I've tried making it as small as 200 x 50 and it still cuts of the right side and the bottom.. but it only does this in ZenCart. I put the same banner on any other web page and it doesn't do that to the image.

I'm thinking it's some kind of padding on the stylesheet maybe? But I don't know which one it would be...

Rl,
I am looking at this page:

1. http://expressmetabolics.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=5&products_id=92
2. here is the image I am refering to:
3. http://www.expressmetabolics.com/store/images/Shirataki_1.jpg
4. the red font above is the image name for the fix

Oh, I see what you're talking about - didn't realize it was doing that. I'll fix that. Thanks!

But what I was referring to was the flash banner that shows up when you select the "Shirataki Pasta" category. It shows up at the top of the list of products. I entered it in the admin - catalog - categories/product - edit category - categories description area for that category...

Rl,
Misty is the master of flash with Zen Cart in my opinion.
If she does not read this post create another post and rephrase your question to this:

Will do - thanks!

Well I think I got it. I took out some of the margin padding on the style_jscroller CSS stylesheet and it looks a little better. It's still not perfect but at least it's not as noticeable now.

Thanks!

Im using BannerZest but have no idea what code to use or where to put it. Ive tried a few variations of the flash tutorials here without success, the best I can get is a black box so far.

rleepac, where did you place all the files and what code did you use for embedding the banner?

In BannerZest I published my file to a folder within my ZenCart - In the images I think - it doesn't really matter as long as it's on your server.

Then from Bannerzest I clicked on "show html". I copied the html code and pasted it into the description box for the category.

I had to refresh the store page 2 or 3 times before it showed up - but once it showed up it worked like a charm!

If you're using BannerZest to make your flash then you don't need to worry about anything else you've read about in the flash tutorials - BannerZest puts it all in the code for you. I was so confused thinking I had to do more but it turns out that BannerZest takes care of all that!

Good luck...

Tried it and still nothing, best I can get is a blank area when I use the blog code instead. Im trying to do this on the main page if it makes any difference.

It shouldn't make any difference which page you're using it on. Are you using the Plain Text or the HTMLarea editor? I think I used the HTMLarea editor to put the code in... don't know if that makes a difference or not.
