Hey man!

As always, great work! Another awesome template! I love it. Tim is very helpful. Order his stuff! You'll be glad you did.

I recently figured something out that works well in modifying the logo.swf's parameters. Especially for a template like "Karina" (optimized for 6.005) - because it doesn't make use of the flash animation banner. Instead it has an image code for the left hand column1. That's great, but I wanted both an animation and a banner, so I inserted __promo_code__ (after on page_1.html), and I did not remove the __images__index_image.jpg" code. I kept it there. But what happened when I did that was the swf played BEHIND the image and right columns. So, that didn't work.

So, then I selected the "use custom HTML block" option in the basic settings of my admin panel and clicked on the HTML icon. In that pop-up, I pasted the object/embed HTML code for the swf file.

The cool thing about accessing and displaying the promo swf that way is that you can change the parameters of how your animation looks - like the welcome text or how long the images appear on screen in the rotation (by changing the "interval=" value to a higher number). Doing it this way also allowed me to keep the code for my image file in column 1 and also have a rotating banner animation. Worked great!

Note: I posted the code I used in the forum under mods. Just thought y'all might think this helpful!

Thanks again for a great template Tim! Keep up the great work!
