Adding a Flash Menu

Trying to add the following code to make a Flash Accordian type menu for the top of the dialog on the home page.

I added this to the service_head.tpl file but I get a smarty error for the line
var flashvars = {};

Code:

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

<script type="text/javascript">

var stageW = 565;

var stageH = 200; 

var cacheBuster = Date.parse(new Date());

var flashvars = {};

var params = {};

params.bgcolor = "#efefef";

params.allowfullscreen = "true";

flashvars.stageW = stageW;

flashvars.stageH = stageH;

flashvars.xmlPath = "accordion.xml";

flashvars.keepSelected = "t";

flashvars.selectedWindow = "4";

flashvars.slideshow = "t";

flashvars.imageWidth = "300";

flashvars.imageHeight = "200";

swfobject.embedSWF("preview.swf?t="+cacheBuster, "myContent", stageW, stageH, "9.0.124", "js/expressInstall.swf", flashvars, params);

</script>

It loads fine in a basic html file but for some reason I am struggling to get this working in X-cart.

Can anyone suggest anything?

Try some {literal} tags {/literal} around it.

Its not so much for a menu system as a rotating product banner running via XML

You can see it working on the home page at www.jobananas.com

Hi "01bodyjewellery"

I would really appreciate if you can tell how did you do the image hover work ?
Did you buy any module for that ? if yes than please let me know which.
I tried doing it with some other technique but for only the first image appears on mouseover throughout the category list.

Please reply!
