How do I add javascript to head with access to template methods?

JazzcatCB Total Posts: 24 Joined: 2008-02-06 Ignore user	I need to add some js to the head section. I also need to access relative paths in this js. The code looks like this: `<head> . . . <script type="text/javascript"> var flashvars = {}; var params = {}; var attributes = {}; attributes.id = "faculty-flash"; swfobject.embedSWF("faculty_sidebar.swf", "myAlternativeContent", "191", "320", "9.0.0", false, flashvars, params, attributes); </script> . . . </head>` faculty_sidebar.swf is located in the skin directory, so I need to supply the relative path to this file. Can anyone help me out? Thanks in advance.
