Make sure you copy your "filename.swf" to the folder: images

 

and after that is quite simple just add the following code:

 

<iframe src="images/filename.swf" width=XXX height=XXX frameborder=0 marginheight=0 marginwidth=0 scrolling="no"></p></iframe>

 

 

Change the "XXX: to the real size of Width and height of the filename.swf

 

bye

This is the code to use to display flash movies. Make sure to set width and height to your .swf and replace the 2 instances of your_file_name_here with the name of your .swf. This also assume your .swf is in your images folder.

<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,0,0" width="" height="">
 <param name="movie" value="images/your_file_name_here.swf">
 <param name="quality" value="high">
 <embed src="images/your_file_name_here.swf" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="" height="" ></embed>
</object>

All depends where you want it, as you may notice the oscommerce shopping cart is structured in sections and each one depends also in the language that you have selected to show:

 

CATALOG\INCLUDES\

header.php

column_right.php

column_left.php

footer.php

 

or the main section depending on language:

 

CATALOG\INCLUDES\LANGUAGE\ENGLISH\

index.php

 

in any of the above files you could add a movie flash be carefull to backup your files always and the position of the movie will depend where you want it shown.

 

if you dont know about PHP CODES i suggest dont try.

For best compatibility:

 

See http://blog.deconcept.com/swfobject/ for more details on Flash and the SWFObject embed script.

SWFObject embed script.

Yes, swfObject is the best way... also makes it easy to pass variables to MovieClips...
