STSv4 Using Flash

[[email protected]]

Ok, I am making headway. I found the post on the flash movie, Bill Kellum post #4735. I copied the code box to a text file and named it "swfobject.js" I then created a flash folder and placed the file inside the flash folder. The path is mystore/includes/sts_templates/freeoscomm_061/flash/swfobject.js.

I then copied this line of code to the sts_template.html "<script type="text/javascript" src="$templatedir/flash/swfobject.js"></script>".

I then pasted this code in the index.php_0.html file inside the freeoscomm_061 folder where I want the movie to play.

<td class="styleFlash">

<script type="text/javascript" src="$templatedir/flash/swfobject.js"></script>

<div id="flashcontent">This text is replaced by the Flash movie.

</div>

<script type="text/javascript">

var so = new SWFObject("images/flash/your_flash_movie.swf", "movie", "763", "368", "8", "#ffffff");

so.write("flashcontent");

</script>

</td>

 

and finally I added a folder to my base images folder called flash and copied my flash movie to this folder..... I also renamed my flash movie to "your_flash_movie.swf" thinking that matched all the references.

 

Any ideas as to why all I see is the code text I added to my index.php_0.html file when I view the store in a browser?

 

Thanks for the help.

Remember, if you are adding stop end characters to your tags, you must do it for the $tempplatedir$ as well.
