Hi Phil, Is my face red!
I went back to the actionscript in flash to see if the path was correct, because it tested okay meant it was looking for it in the .fla folder. I found the path was incorrect and fixed it and now the file finally works. Thank you for your help! cheers, Nancy On Mar 23, 10:30 pm, Philip Hutchison <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi N > > Your code mixes swfobject 1.x syntax with swfobject 2.x syntax. they're > incompatible. > > Assuming your link to "/js/swfobject.js" is pointing to the swfobject 2.1 > file, you should replace the 1.x syntax with updated 2.x syntax. > > Three other observations: > > 1.
