kp1kp1 - osobiscie nigdy nie probowalam zamieszczac flasha w miejscu bannera, ale spotkalam sie juz z takimi tematami na forum, wiec moze sprobuj poszukac. Upewnij sie tez, ze pliki do ktorych sie odwolujesz znajduja sie we wlasciwym miejscu. Nie mam innych pomyslow dlaczego mogloby to nie dzialac. Mozesz tez podeslac link do strony, moze ulatwi to znalezienie problemu.

kp1kp1 - of course, sorry :) I wrote that I have never try to add swf files, but remember that topics connected with adding flash banners were on forum, so try to search. Secondly, make sure that path to files is correct and all needed files are in proper directory as I think that it can be problem. I mean that I think you should add path: templates/img/file.swf not just img/file.swf

qwerious,

if you go to the forum and do a search for 'flash overlay' you will find a lot of posts relating to this problem
