Problem with Flash Header

I installed the fine fckeditor contribution and this allows you to simply embed your flash movie straight into the page using the define page editor function in admin.

Example: www dot fingertipcrafts dot net

Hope this helps.

Re: Problem with Flash Header

Hi

Zencart comes with an HTML editor called HTMLarea which for most main uses is fine. If you go to the Free Software Add Ons area (link at top of this page) you will see a contribution called FCKEditor which in my opinion is an improvement on the stock editor. Amongst other things it allows simple placement of flash movies and also (one of my favs) allows you to insert images directly from your pc/mac (HTMLarea only lets you insert images that are already uploaded to the server - ftp).

Go to http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?main_page=product_contrib_info&products_id=268 to download FCKEditor, unzip the files and follow the instructions to install. It is a very simple install!

Hope this answers your quesions.

Re: Problem with Flash Header

What version of swfobject.js are you using?

You may want to put your swf in your root.

Re: Problem with Flash Header

If you want the swf on your main page you would place the code found in my post #121 in **includes/languages/english/html_includes/YOUR_TEMPLATE/define_main_page.php **I used that code for swfobject.js ver 2.1 but I believe it will work for ver 2.2 as well.

Re: Problem with Flash Header

Jeet Kune Do,

 Normally, I would neither place your flash movie (swf) nor would I place the swfobject.js (java script) in their current locations.  But, let us keep them were they are and try to get your movie working on your home page.

What I need is the width and height (in pixels) of your swf movie.

Re: Problem with Flash Header

width 468, height 60

The flash movie should be in that location because I need that, each time you change the language, the banner change to configure the selected language.

As I understand I need to put that code in the source:

/public_html/basicinstinctlingerie/includes/templates/1228/buttons/<?php echo $_SESSION['language']; ?>/slogan.swf"

For the swfobject.js i can move it. Please, thell me where.

I would like to put the flash in tpl_header.php at the slogan div.

I dont' know how to write the source.... with http:www, just basicinstinctlingerie/includes.....

I really appreciate your help!

:yes:

Re: Problem with Flash Header

I am unaware of language issues. I have never put the swf in tpl_header.php but if you know you need to put it here then so be it. I believe the code you need to use is as follows: ```php

<script type="text/javascript" src="basicinstinctlingerie/swfobject.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
if (swfobject.hasFlashPlayerVersion("6.0.0")) {
  var fn = function() {
    var att = { data:"includes/templates/1228/buttons/slovensko/slogan.swf", width:"468", height:"60"};
    var par = { flashvars:"foo=bar" };
    var id = "replaceMe";
    var myObject = swfobject.createSWF(att, par, id);
  };
  swfobject.addDomLoadEvent(fn);
}
</script>
<div id="replaceMe">Alternative content</div>

Re: Problem with Flash Header

My entire code looks like this. Is in tpl_header.php
It works for all the browser exept firefox.

What is intresting is that when I put the code with "firebug" wich inspect element on the page and show you the changes without save it, it works.

When I edit the tpl_header work's only in other browser. In F F i have the gif picture to get flash player.

<div id="slogan">


	<head>
		<title></title>
		<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
		<script type="text/javascript" src="swfobject.js"></script>
		<script type="text/javascript">
			var flashvars = {};
			var params = {};
			var attributes = {};
			swfobject.embedSWF("slogan.swf", "flash player required", "468", "60", "6.0.0.0", "expressInstall.swf", flashvars, params, attributes);
		</script>
	</head>
	<body>
		<div id="flash player required">
			<a href="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer">
				<img src="http://www.adobe.com/images/shared/download_buttons/get_flash_player.gif" alt="Get Adobe Flash player" />
			</a>
		</div>
	</body>
</html>


      </div>

Re: Problem with Flash Header

I get the same thing you do.

Check your php code. The one you show is not the same as the one I gave you.

Re: Problem with Flash Header

It is as if swfobject.js can't be found. Where is it currently located?
