depends on what you want to do but on one of my sites that uses flash as it's navigation (http://www.hom.gb.com/shop/
i just made a php file with the code that usually occurs when you insert flash into a page with dreamweaver, saved that and then used {include_php file="topnav.php"} to insert it into the head.tpl other than that there is a module on http://www.cart-lab.com for using flash in x-cart

Yeah, I use some flash in the product detailed descriptions on my 3.4.14 cart. If you can detail exactly what you need to do, we can provide some better answers I am sure.

That's because swf files are not treated the same as image files.
You need B00MER's mod. Visit http://www.cart-lab.com. |

You do not need to pay for a mod to do this. I have it done on a customers website and is really easy. Visit www.smilecamusa.com to see an example of the flash in the top. All you do is do it as you would in a regualr website. Then copy that piece of the html and put it into the correct .tpl file you need.

I think the benefit of using the boomers mod though is that it can be uploaded via the admin of x-cart (i don't know this as i havent purchased it yet so im just guessing here) rather than if the site is to be updated by a client who has no knowledge of ftp, html etc. but i suppose then the question is that if they don't know how to ftp then they arent going to know how to make a flash banner
So it think lildawgs answer is fine for doing things like banners but if you were going to use flash in a product item (i.e say you wanted 360 rotation of a product which loaded the jpgs externally) then the mod would be the way to go.

The flash integration mod of mine, basically adds support for .swf files along with .jpgs,.gifs,etc. It adds support in both the basic thumbnail, and the detailed images module. They are simply treated differently when it comes to time to display them to the user. Its good for those who don't want to fiddle around with multiple .tpl's for some flash movies on a product. I.e. those who have movieclips or audioclips and want a simple way to have people preview them.
Anyhow, I'm all ears for questions regarding it.
