What version of 68 Classifieds are you running?
Example: V4.11.10 Developer

What template are you using? Default template

Please describe in detail the issue you are having:

I want to include a swf file in a 68classifieds web page (home_page_banner.swf)

It works fine in a Dreamweaver created page but not when I include the code in the home.tpl page.

As well as the .swf file (put in the images folder) I have copied the flash scripts used to run the movie into a new Scripts folder within the Defaut template folder. (/swfobject_modified.js and /expressInstall.swf

I have put {literal} {/literal} around the inserted code.

Please can anybody help?

Here is the code:
<script src="Scripts/swfobject_modified.js" type="text/javascript"> </script>
<object id="FlashID" classid="clsid

27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="625" height="60">
<param name="movie" value="images/home_page_header.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="wmode" value="opaque" />
<param name="swfversion" value="6.0.65.0" />



<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="images/home_page_header.swf" width="625" height="60">

<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="wmode" value="opaque" />
<param name="swfversion" value="6.0.65.0" />
<param name="expressinstall" value="Scripts/expressInstall.swf" />

Usually problems with embeded code from other places is due to incorrect paths to the data. For example you have...

script src="Scripts/swfobject_modified.js"

is that the correct path to where the file is??

I assume you mean that you are running v4.1.10. LOL

It looks like the issue is most likely that you don't have the full path to your script. You're using a relative link instead. In addition, any script link should be in the head element of the html page. With that in mind, I would recommend doing it like this.

In your layout.tpl file between the <head> and </head> elements:
(recommend right after the last script call that is already there)
<script src="{$smarty.const.URL}/templates/templates/{$smarty.const.MAIN_TEMPLATE}/Scripts/swfobject_modified.js" type="text/javascript"> </script>

thank you both so much for your comments - it was indeed the path name, now corrected and running fine in IE, Firefox and Google.

thanks again, your help very much appreciated.
