I am having the same problem except I get "swfobect" is undefind error

All I have done is to follow the below url

and then I get that "swfobect" is undefind

Its so simple to install, what have I done wrong

Re: Add flash in a .tpl

Thanks Victor

But it still gives the same error

I don't understand why you took the flash folder out of that string surely xcart wont know where the 3 files are located

Re: Add flash in a .tpl
 

swfobject.js is located directly in skin1 folder for default x-cart skin after installation. Just look into skin1
I have missed $SkinDir... sad but true. :(

check spelling for swfobject in your previous post "j" is missing

Re: Add flash in a .tpl
 

Victor sorry about the spelling

Still giving me the same error I do have the swfobject in both flash and skin1 directorys, so what the file read to start with was

<script type="text/javascript" src="{$SkinDir}/flash/swfobject.js"></script>

then you changed it to

Re: Add flash in a .tpl
 

Thanks guys for your help

I got it to work by taking out {$SkinDir}/ and replaced it by skin1/

What I would like to know is why wont it work using {$SkinDir}/ on the code





<script type="text/javascript" src="{$SkinDir}/flash/swfobject.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
swfobject.registerObject("myId", "9.0.0", "{$SkinDir}/flash/expressInstall.swf");
</script>
<div style="text-align:center;">
<object id="myId" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="200" height="200">
<param name="movie" value="{$SkinDir}/flash/xcart.swf" />
<!--[if !IE]>-->
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="{$SkinDir}/flash/xcart.swf" width="200" height="200">
<!--<![endif]-->
<div>
<h1>Please Install Flash</h1>

Petebots, are you making this too hard? why do you need all that smarty stuff in there for your flash player? (excuse my ignorance)

Re: Add flash in a .tpl
 

Its not me, I just took it from here
http://www.xcartmods.co.uk/adding-flash-x-cart-mods-pg-8.html

All I want to know is why did it not work using {$SkinDir}/ and worked when I replaced it by skin1/

Re: Add flash in a .tpl
 

I've no idea. I just put the Flash code into the tpl file wrapped in html and off it goes. Why not just use one of the two suggestions here that work?
