[TYPO3-english] Beginner Needs help getting his Flash Banner to work

Thu Apr 1 21:49:55 CEST 2010

Hi!

I am pretty new to website design and typo3 but have been working with 
it for a couple of weeks now.

I bought a pre-made template which has a flash banner at the top, and 
uploaded all the folders and files (js/images/html/css/swf) in the same 
directory order as they were given to me.

When I create a new site/template using templatevoila and preview the 
website template looks as expected. However when I finish the mapping 
process, and selecting the html headers to include (I include the 
scripts for the swf) the finished product doesn't include the flash banner.

Everything else displays as it should be, but the place where the flash 
banner should be is empty, no error message or anything.

Can anyone help me? Its probably a beginner mistake.

Here is the code of the html file I use for a template:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" 
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<title>DreamTemplate</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
<link href="style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/swfobject/swfobject.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
		var flashvars = {};
		flashvars.xml = "config.xml";
		flashvars.font = "font.swf";
		var attributes = {};
		attributes.wmode = "transparent";
		attributes.id = "slider";
		swfobject.embedSWF("cu3er.swf", "cu3er-container", "960", "400", "9", 
"expressInstall.swf", flashvars, attributes);
</script>
</head>
