Adding flash to replace the image of lined up ipods on homepage

[robvr6]

Hi all,

Is it possible to add a flash file Ive created to the homepage atthe top. Where the ipods lined up are on the default template. If so how is this possible - Ive searched and searched without any success.

Thanks in advance

Edit category.tpl in your theme's directory and put the Flash code before line 17 (in PrestaShop v1.3.5):

{if $scenes}

Put the link to the Javascript in header.tpl before the </head> tag. Put the <object> code in category.tpl.

do I need to remove the image somehow as Ive tried what you said but the image is still there and no flash

It shouldn't make a difference. You can delete the image anyway by going to Catalog > Image mapping and deleting the image maps.

OK I'm totally lost now lol and I understand if you dont have time to help anymore but heres my set up if you can shed any light on this.

I have a swf named banners which loads images via xml into this from a folder banners when the swf is usually inserted in a page it adds

then the object code where its wanted

<object id="FlashID" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="590" height="300">




 <!-- This param tag prompts users with Flash Player 6.0 r65 and higher to download the latest version of Flash Player. Delete it if you don’t want users to see the prompt. -->

 <!-- Next object tag is for non-IE browsers. So hide it from IE using IECC. -->
 <!--[if !IE]>-->
 <object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="banner.swf" width="590" height="300">
   <!--    



   <!-- The browser displays the following alternative content for users with Flash Player 6.0 and older. -->

Content on this page requires a newer version of Adobe Flash Player.



   <!--[if !IE]>-->
 </object>
 <!--</object>

and then at the bottom of the page

swfobject.registerObject("FlashID");

but Im just totally baffled and confused now - is it a problem with pats or my calling the js code any helps is appreciated. If I do get this working - it will only show on the homepage wont it?

Thanks
