The bold items should be the important bits. The code above is looking for a file names xar26AD.swf in the same directory as the page/script. You should be able to add a relative path to that (or failing that, an absolute path), such as "images/xar26AD.swf" (or "../images/xar26AD.swf", if the page/script is in a directory that is the same level as the images directory).

If you are using Xara for your site building, just drag'n'drop the .swf file onto your Xara page and the code will be created for you when published.
Remember to size the created placeholder to the size of the banner as Xara will only create a 192x192pixel placeholder.

Hey Ben,
Thanks for the reply i will try this and see what happens....
Thanks again

Hey Sledge,
