Yep, I got that and the standalone version as well...although I am
using the online ATM.
Thank you both!
I now have another question. I use Dreamweaver currently...I am
wondering if I am doing this right. I seem to be missing something
drastic here. With the new code form the generator:
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/swfobject.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var flashvars = {};
var params = {};
params.menu = "false";
params.wmode = "transparent";
var attributes = {};
swfobject.embedSWF("menu.swf", "nav_cont", "500",
"300", "8.0.0",
"expressInstall.swf", flashvars, params, attributes);
</script>
Do I still insert the .swf file like I normally would, because that
generates new code:
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/
swflash.cab#version=9,0,28,0" width="500" height="300">
<param name="movie" value="menu.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<embed src="menu.swf" quality="high" pluginspage="http://
www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="500" height="300"></embed>
</object>
I can now get the movie to play in the design window, but still zero
success on the uploaded page. It still fails to appear. Do I need to
enter code in the .FLA file Actionscript layer somewhere?
Am I doing this wrong?
Thanks in advance.
