Create your “yourbanner.swf” banner Copy to “http://YOURDOMAIN.COM/skin/frontend/YOUR_INTERFACE/YOUR_THEME/images/media/YOUR_BANNER.swf”. 2. Create a Static block via admin panel CMS>>Static Blocks Block Title~ Flash Banner Identifier~ myflashbanner Store View~ All Store Views Status~ Enabled Content~ <div class="flashban" style="position:relative; width:XXX; height:XXX; margin-left:XXXpx;" > <object classid="clsid:YOUR_CLASS_ID" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,0,0" width="XXX" height="XXX" id="fader" align="middle"> <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" /> <param name="allowFullScreen" value="false" /> <param name="movie" value="http://YOURDOMAIN.COM/skin/frontend/YOUR_INTERFACE/YOUR_THEME/images/media/YOUR_BANNER.swf" /><param name="menu" value="false" /> <param name="quality" value="high" /><param name="wmode" value="transparent" /> <param name="bgcolor" value="#000000" /> <embed src="http://YOURDOMAIN.COM/skin/frontend/YOUR_INTERFACE/YOUR_THEME/images/media/YOUR_BANNER.swf" menu="false" quality="high" wmode="transparent" bgcolor="#000000" width="XXX" height="XXX" name="YOUR_BANNER" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" allowFullScreen="false" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" /> </object> </div> 3. Create a new page or modify existing one(s) via CMS>>Manage Pages Page Title~ MY_PAGE SEF URL Identifier ~ mypage Store View ~ All Store Views Status ~ Enabled Content ~ `{{block type="cms/block" block_id="myflashbanner" template="cms/content.phtml"}}` and youre done ! You can add a Static block to Category Pages via admin panel CMS>>Catalog>>Manage Categories>Display Settings>CMS Block I have also tested a page which nests Blocks ie A Block (main-block) which contains `{{block type="cms/block" block_id="myflashbanner" template="cms/content.phtml"}} {{block type="cms/block" block_id="anothotherblock" template="cms/footer.phtml"}}` You can then call the main-block in a CMS Page with `{{block type="cms/block" block_id="main-block" template="cms/content.phtml"}}` OR from a Category page via Catalog>>Manage Categories>Display Settings>CMS Block>Add Static Block~ main-block I’m not sure if nested blocks are ‘kosher’ - maybe more experienced Mage’s can ellaborate as I am but a (very tired)1 week old n00b Signature Regards G An undefined problem has an infinite number of solutions.*
