I am trying to use a flash menu in a theme, however, when I clcik on the flash menu to link me to another page, it goes to the page but the menu disappears, even though the space for it is left.

heres my code, the menu links may have some mistakes in them but the rest is fine!

Well, just in case you're still looking for the answer: Your relative path breaks when you navigate away from the site root and into module directories. Try "/menu.swf". Or you reference the site root with smarty tag:

"<{$xoops_url}>/menu.swf"
on the assumption that the file is in XOOPS root.

BUT: With the last "security patch"/copyright infringement avoidance/whatever patch Microsoft has rolled out, you'd actually have to use another method to integrated your flash object, so that IE people don't have to click on it once to bleedin "activate this control" every time they load a new page. Here's the one I'm using:

Edit: Well, I see you've figured it out already, and the swf isn't in the root anyway, so you'd use a different smarty tag. The thing with the object embedding is still relevant, though. If you care at all about people who want to look at it with IE, that is
