I am trying to modify my file:

/customer/main/welcome.tpl

How do I use a simple javascript file or even embed a flash file. I have tried using both, both with the JS, I get an error. With the Flash, nothing shows up.

Is there a trick or can these just not be used?
Or, is there an easier way to use rotating images that are hyperlinked?

Thanks

Version 4.1.9

Have you tried encasing your script in {literal} {/literal} tags?

[tommyneel]

where exactly are these tags to be used? when i use them, anything after the opening literal tag does not show up on my page. does it go right before the <script> tag? where?

also, what should the path be for flash files? if i have the file in the folder /images, can i still point to it like i do with actual images using the

{$ImagesDir}

?

thanks and if anyone is using flash out there, please let me know how you're doing it.

much thanks.

It should be...

{literal}
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
content of script goes here
</script>

The {$ImagesDir} will call a file from the skin1/images directory, not the images directory in the x-cart root folder.

I don't use flash, but here is how x-cart does it....

<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="{$ImagesDir}/custom/flash_logo.swf" width="341" height="206" id="flash_logo" align="top">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
<param name="movie" value="{$ImagesDir}/custom/flash_logo.swf" />
<param name="menu" value="false" />
<param name="loop" value="false" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff" />
<param name="FlashVars" value="not_home_page={if $main eq "catalog" && $current_category.category eq ""}0{else}1{/if}&amp;final_image={#FinalImage#}&amp;company_name_path={$ImagesDir}/custom/company_name.swf&amp;home_path={$current_location}/customer/home.php" />
<param name="pluginspage" value="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" />
<param name="swLiveConnect" value="true" />
</object>
