I've been playing with the PHP file to add a flash banner to the bottom of my products pages. I got the flash banner to work sort of. I've got a few problems:

1. When the categories list drops down it is covered by the flash banner.

2. The flash banner doesn't work in Google Chrome.

Here's a product page:

If anyone has been playing with adding a flash banner and knows how to fix these problems, I'd be REALLY glad to hear from you.

To display menus on top of flash add the following paremeters to the code:

<object ...>
<param name="wmode" value="transparent">
<embed ... wmode="transparent" ...>
</object>


I have not had trouble with Flash objects in Chrome.

I have a slightly different problem with embedded flash.

I have used the CC Webplayer to convert a video and have placed this into a product description.

The problem I am having is that when you view the product pictures, the video is ontop of the product pics ?

the one I have done is here

I am sure it will be a simple line of code.. but I am lost as to what it may be.

Hmmmm... I've looked at it with Firefox 3.6 and Internet Explorer 8.0. Don't see any evidence of the video overlaying any static pictures. Maybe I'm missing something?

As a side note -- looks like you'd be a good candidate for Shopping Card Designer Pro. Squeezing your logo into that tiny square box really does a number on it!

Hi Chuck

Firstly.. thanks for having a look !

I, like many of us are awaiting the Pro Version before I start tarting things up properly !

I have attached a couple of screen shots to try and demonstrate my problem. You will see from the top image that the video is overlying the product images within IE8 (Win 7)

In the second image the video is behind the images allowing the visitor to see the product images satisfactorily when viewed in Firefox 3.6

Thanks

Duncan

Ooops --- not seeing your screen shots!

I don't think that Shopping Cart Creator Pro, which a lot of us are waiting for, will let you fix up the logo size. The header can be customized in Shopping Card Designer Pro. But that's a separate issue...

The page looks the same as Chuck B screen shots. This in on Vista x32 and Vista x64. With Firefox and IE8.

Have something to add? We’d love to hear it!
