I'm sticking this post in the newbies section as it should be......well.......easy.
Here's my problem...I created a site in flash, published it in flash 5. On the index page of this particular site (which is a straight html page), I have and intro that says hello and also includes a component with an swf file in it that is supposed to detect flash 4 or 5 (incidentally, i got the 'detect flash swf' from the tutorials section of actionscript). If you have the flash 4 plugin, it will prompt you to go get 5....if you have 5 it welcomes you and you can click the "enter" button at the bottom of the page.
1st problem...I have the flash 5 plugin (IE,Nestcape) but my index page indicates that I only have flash 4. If I click on the 'enter' button, the pop-up window will show up as it should but no movie will load. If I bypass the links and go directly to the html page that was generated when I published the site, same thing....nothing...just a black screen.
When I published in flash 4, everything worked fine but I can't get it working in flash 5.
Granted, it was late when I finished and I know I probably just did something stupid, it would be nice to have some opinions on this. here is the site....http://www.bluescasters.net/index.html
Thanks
ps...has anyone had as much difficulty as me locating a download for the flash 5 plugin on macromedia's site? I can't find it anywhere since they added flash 6 (which is incompatable with most operating systems over 4-5 years old)
