Adding flash video to Zen-cart

Hello everybody!

I have a question that is bugging for some time.

I created a new page in a sidebox. It is showing in mine Zen-Cart and working great.

Then I wanted to add a flash video tutorial into this page. I tried it like this:

Flash movie is test_movie.flv.

<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="400" height="400" id="FLVPlayer"> <param name="movie" value="FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf" /> <param name="salign" value="lt" /> <param name="quality" value="high" /> <param name="scale" value="noscale" /> <param name="FlashVars" value="&MM_ComponentVersion=1&skinName=Clear_Skin_3&streamName=test_movie_3&autoPlay=false&autoRewind=false" /> <embed src="FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf" flashvars="&MM_ComponentVersion=1&skinName=Clear_Skin_3&streamName=test_movie_3&autoPlay=false&autoRewind=false" quality="high" scale="noscale" width="460" height="345" name="FLVPlayer" salign="LT" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" /> </object>

If I include this in html file without the shop it works great, the movie is playing the controls are showing and everything works, but when I put in Zen-Cart it does not work.

I put it in Zen-Cart/includes/languages/english/test_page.php under:

define('TEXT_INFORMATION', '<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="400" height="400" id="FLVPlayer">

<param name="movie" value="FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf" /> <param name="salign" value="lt" /> <param name="quality" value="high" /> <param name="scale" value="noscale" /> <param name="FlashVars" value="&MM_ComponentVersion=1&skinName=Clear_Skin_3&streamName=test_movie_3&autoPlay=false&autoRewind=false" /> <br /> Some random text! ');

But it does not work, it shows flash movie not loaded, the text in this document is showing but no flash. All the paths are correct. I also put the FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf under Zen-Cart/includes/languages/english/ the test_movie.flv is also in this directory.

Did somebody try to this and how did you solve this problem!? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,

Dionidis

With a lot of trial and error I figured out the problem. The FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf file must be in a Zen-Cart\ folder, not where the file is or where the video is.

I have changed it correctly and now it works beautifully.

Hope this solution helps others.

Keep it Zened! :thumbsup:
