Hi all things I have tried.

I read a post about adding flash to main page using welcome tpl.

when I add the code as instructed all i get is a white page where featured products are
heres my code

<OBJECT classid="clsid27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,0,0"
WIDTH=264 HEIGHT=195>
<PARAM NAME=movie VALUE="3rdflash.swf">
<PARAM NAME=menu VALUE=false>
<PARAM NAME=quality VALUE=high>
<PARAM NAME=wmode VALUE=transparent>
<PARAM NAME=scale VALUE=noscale>
<EMBED src=3rdflash.swf menu=false quality=high wmode=transparent
scale=noscale WIDTH=264 HEIGHT=195 TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash"
PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash">
</EMBED>
</OBJECT>

I also tried adding it to the head ,its suppose to be a fade in and out slide show

<td class="HeadRightBox">
{*
{literal}

I Removed the {*

{/literal} *}
I Removed the *}

Ok now with these 2 removed I now have a scrollling slide show in the top right front left to right which is suppose to be a fader

and where my catergory boxes are I have a much bigger slide show that does fade in and out

Not to mention the space between the head and the rest of the webpage is Huge

Any ideas on how to get the fader either to the top right
or in the welcome message
thanks Bill
If I could I would just use the entire featured product box for a fader slideshow but have no idea how to get that in there
Noob!
thanks
Bill
