If you have the code for your flash try using the 'source' function in fckeditor to paste your code.

Also your Latest Products alignment is messy. Try this fix:

In the includes/content/index.inc.php find this line:

for($i=0;$i<count($latestProducts);$i++){

Replace with this code

$across=4;

$index->assign("TW",100/$across);

for($i=0;$i<count($latestProducts);$i++){

if (!(($i+1) % $across)) {

$index->assign("TXT_TR","</tr><tr>");

} else {

$index->assign("TXT_TR","");

}

in skins/{insert skin name}/styleTemplates/content/index.tpl replace all code

between

<!-- BEGIN: repeat_prods -->

and

CODE

<!-- END: repeat_prods -->

including those two lines above with this code

CODE

<table width="100%" border="0"><tr>

<!-- BEGIN: repeat_prods -->

<td width="{TW}%">

<div style="float: center; text-align: center;">

<a href="index.php?act=viewProd&amp;productId={VAL_PRODUCT_ID}"><img src="{VAL_IMG_SRC}" alt="{VAL_PRODUCT_NAME}" border="0" /></a>

<br />

<a href="index.php?act=viewProd&amp;productId={VAL_PRODUCT_ID}" class="txtDefault">{VAL_PRODUCT_NAME}</a>

<br />

{TXT_PRICE} <span class="txtSale">{TXT_SALE_PRICE}</span>

</div>

</td>

{TXT_TR}

<!-- END: repeat_prods -->

</tr></table>

The $across variable is used to specify number products across.

Have you tried clicking view source in the corner as using the code as below

		<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0" width="748" height="136" align="middle">

		  <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />

		  <param name="movie" value="location/file.swf" />

		  <param name="quality" value="high" />

		  <param name="bgcolor" value="#000000" />

		  <embed src="location/file.swf" quality="high" bgcolor="#000000" width="748" height="136" align="middle" allowscriptaccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" /></embed>

		</object>

just change location/file.swf to the location and name of your file

Seems that everyone has missed the obvious?

There have been problems all along adding flash to source code in fckeditor with CubeCart, I have seen many posts about it, and IIRC, member "sound" found that it worked in the later versions of fckeditor. Upgrading the fckeditor in your CubeCart is a great idea for many reasons other than flash, too. 2.0 of the editor sucks, JMNSHO

OK, weighing in here: I agree, it's R-O-B-A-N :)

Thanks MorksCarts,Roban and Scorpion for the reply Still working at it.

I used you above info "Products alignment is messy"

It did clean it up, but there is only 1 product across

How can I get 2 or more product across I tried changing the $across=4; to various number. Nothing happens.Can you advise me? Thanks

Hey, just to say that i've managed to get flash to work in my welcome box.

Check out my site http://www.globalbully.com

I'm using an image rotator flash swf, thats very customisable and free, you can get from:

http://www.jeroenwijering.com/?item=Flash_Image_Rotator

It simply rotates .jpgs, not everyones cup of tea, but perfect for me as I have no flash knowledge.

this is the code that i have used:

<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="485" height="285" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab">

<param name="movie" value="/imagerotator/jpgrotator.swf" />

<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />

<param name="flashvars" value="file=/imagerotator/jpgrotator.xml" />

<embed width="485" height="285" src="/imagerotator/jpgrotator.swf" flashvars="file=/imagerotator/jpgrotator.xml" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" wmode="transparent" />

</object>

If that helps at all....

Rosco :(
