positioning flash slideshow add-on

Hi I'm using the flash slide show add-on
http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?main_page=product_contrib_info&cPath=40_44&products_id=779
so basically all i did was make my own .swf file and renamed it to the pg_hyperlink.swf filename.

the instructions say to drop the flashscript text into any page so using the define pages editor i dropped the code right into the define main page.php

my problem is i want to align text to the right of slideshow i tried the align tag and it didnt work.

I got to thinking if I hacked into the main page php file could i put the flashscript text into a div tag and solve both my align text problem and possibly keep the code hidden when using the define page editor?
and if so, the obligatory how?

thanks in advanced,
scott

Scotty, beam me up..

Hey, dude, need a link to the site so I can use Firefox Moxilla with the add on called Firebug to control her in your_template/ stylesheet.css

Re: positioning flash slideshow add-on

Sc,
Please place some text in the define_main_page.php, so I can see where the text shows up??? Top, left, right, bottom of the picture.

Or are you talking about the Welcome Guest ????

Re: positioning flash slideshow add-on

<p class="flashText"> sample text preferred being aligned to the right of slideshow sample text preferred being aligned to the right of slideshow sample text preferred being aligned to the right of slideshow</p>

Re: positioning flash slideshow add-on

Sc,
I don't know if this is the correct way and most efficient way but check it out.. Hopefully the Queen of Flash "Misty" will read this and maybe correct me..

Find this:
includes/templates/ocean_front/css/stylesheet.css

Add this to the bottom of the sheet.

.flashText {margin-bottom:25em;
margin-left:35em;
margin-right:0;
margin-top:-33em;
}

Re: positioning flash slideshow add-on

ill see if i could get it for you, i was only sent the .gif already flattened.
if you still have a minute do you have any suggestions getting that text tweaked i tried the inherent and auto values instead of numbers i thought for sure that would work

Re: positioning flash slideshow add-on

Sc,
Please add this to the stylesheet.css so I can view in Firefox, I can't see it in IE until you add it to the sheet..

.flashText {margin-bottom:25em;
margin-left:35em;
margin-right:0;
margin-top:-33em;
}
