how to get path for specific flash file

Monday 30 July 2007 3:25:05 pm

Hello
I have a banner that i will be showing in the top of the website.
I uploaded the flash file in the media section as a a flash file

I used the following code to show the file

{def $n=fetch(content,node,hash(node_id,181))}
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11CF-96B8-444553540000" id="obj1" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0" border="0" width="730" height="168">
						<param name="movie" value={$n.data_map.file.content.filepath|ezroot}>
						<param name="quality" value="High">
						<embed src={$n.data_map.file.content.filepath|ezroot} pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" name="obj1" width="730" height="168"></object>


	{/def}

NOTE THE PART : {$n.data_map.file.content.filepath|ezroot}

This returns the path to the file that is stored in the var folder. but the file is still not shown

how would i help it ?

NOTE: i am trying to build using version 3.9.2

Thanks
