How to include flash in header?

[Dooku]

Hello,

 

I am a newbie with oscommerce and am working on a site at the moment, changing layout as I go and most of the questions have been answered by searching the post's.

 

But I have not been able to figure out how to include a flash file in the header to replace the oscommerce.gif and preferably also center the flash file.

 

Any help is much appreciated.

 

Regards

use the STS contribution and it makes things 1000% easier...

Thank's but that is not an option. Have tried out STS already and it puts too much load on the site.

Keep in mind that customers without flash extensions loaded (There are many) will not see your logo.

The way I added flash to my header for a client at Aragorn Computers was to make the flash and position it absolute over your existing image.

Then put the code in the footer. This way it wont load until the last thing on the page.

 

Hope this helps. :)

this is how I used flash in terms and conditions, similar could be done for header

 

define('TEXT_INFORMATION', '<div align="center"><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="562" height="380">
               <param name="movie" value="../html/terms.swf" />
               <param name="quality" value="high" />
               <embed src="../html/terms.swf" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="562" height="380"></embed></object></div>');
