Hi thanks for your response, i tried putting the files in the mentioned location but i couldn`t get it to work so i put the files back in there original location which is my root directory (public_html) for the swf file and the location for the flash code was placed in /public_html/includes/templates/RI_TEMPLATE_07/templates/tpl_index_default.php. Below is a copy of my tpl_index_default.php file so you can see the code in situ. (the flash code has been put in bold on here only to help identify the location of the flash code.) Are there any alterations i need to make in here to get the flash inside the banner thanks.
