Well I finally got it working after a bit of fiddling around. Thanks to those who offered suggestions!!

So what fixed it?

Might be nice for the list archives if you were to tell us what in your fiddling fixed the problem.

Heres what I changed to make it work:
* reloaded the .swf and .fla files just to make sure they were working properly
* in head.tpl I changed
- the version number from 6,0,0,0 to 6,0,29,0
- added /> at the end of each PARAM NAME, and made the VALUE & EMBED src ="/xcart/skin1/images/xlogo.swf" instead of ="{$ImagesDir}/xlogo.swf

Code:

<TABLE border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%">

<TR> 

<TD>

<OBJECT classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0" WIDTH="1000" HEIGHT="184" id="xlogo" ALIGN="">

 <PARAM NAME="movie" VALUE="/xcart/skin1/images/xlogo.swf" /> 

 <PARAM NAME="quality" VALUE="high" />

 <EMBED src="/xcart/skin1/images/xlogo.swf" quality=high WIDTH="1000" HEIGHT="184" ALIGN="left"

 TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash" PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"></EMBED>

</OBJECT>

There might have been some other things aswell but these are the main things I remember. Goodluck!

Hey JB1013,

Well as I mentioned to you that I would soon be implementing a flash into our Xcart pages and the day arrived. I used all your suggestions and all worked acording to plan. My code was modified very slightly only on sizes etc, but everthing worked and I wanted to thank you for taking the time to add your expertise to this thread. Thanks again. :D
