The cart uses the asp:Image to display images on the product list and product details page and the asp:Image does not support flash. You can however display flash on the product details page. To add flash on the product details page go to the product setup page and in the produuct description rich text editor click the html button and add the following code. In the code below, make sure you replace the "swfFileName" with the name of your flash file you have uploaded to your server:

<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,19,0"
width="200" height="100">
<param name="movie" value="<% =swfFileName%>" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<embed src="<path of file>" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="200" height="100"></embed>
</object>

When you embed flash into the description HTML, it should function as it is designed to. The rotate and zoom functions are a part of the actual swf file if that is how the flash object was created. For example, if you embed a YouTube video in the description it will function with the control buttons because it is part of the flash object.

You can embed the swf for that however because of external files it would require some modifications. The swf for the YOFLA 3D rotate references an external XML file and external images. In their sample the swf is looking for the xml and images starting in the same folder level as the swf. DNN will require you to use a path that has the portal/[portal ID]/files... The best way would be to use the full path to the files. The only way to change this is to edit the swf source file which is an fla file. If you can get that from them and you have Adobe Flash, then you should be able to get it to work. Otherwise perhaps they will customize it for you when you purchase.

This is really an issue of DNN and not SmithCart. It can be tricky if you are not familiar with the steps, but it is possible.
