Howdy and Welcome... :)

Go check out the SWFObject... That should solve your problem...

Newbie to this problem. So I import the script into my root then point to it in page ?

[CyanBlue]

No, you basically need to change a way you are embedding the SWF onto the page...
Read the 'SWFObject Examples' section and I think it will be abit clearer... ;)

Took code into FP and tried to manipulate it to make it work. Keep getting java error ? :o

[CyanBlue]

Um... My crystal ball is in the repair shop and I cannot see your browser... You will have to let us know what you have done to manipulate the code and what sorts of error message you are getting so that we can help you better... ;)

This is original code

<script type="text/javascript">
var so = new SWFObject("movie.swf", "mymovie", "400", "100%", "8", "#336699");
so.addParam("quality", "low");
so.addParam("wmode", "transparent");
so.addParam("salign", "t");
so.write("flashcontent");
</script>

My code

<script type="text/javascript">
var so = new SWFObject("http://www.nyoutdoorsunlimited.com/menu2.swf", "mymovie", "400", "100%", "8", "#336699");
so.addParam("quality", "high");
so.addParam("wmode", "transparent");
so.addParam("salign", "t");
so.write("flashcontent");
</script>

I get nothing in preview. [java error was something else]

Try embedding the local SWF rather than the one from other domain... If you are loading it from the same domain, there is no need to specify the full URL...

What's the URL where I can see it???

I did just plug in my swf file from my server and still nothing. This is for the menu.

Thankx

Um... I see no line that contains SWFObject???

I don't think you have heard what I have said... You do need to use SWFObject to embed the SWF not the regular OBJECT/EMBED tag to get away with that IE issue... ;)

I can't seem to avoid it using frontpage. I really appreciate your time and patients. I can usually figure his stuff out. I read the page you sent me to a couple of times but go figure I can't bust the code. I will try again today.

[CyanBlue]

Well... Know nothing about the FrontPage, so here is a way to edit by 'hand'... ;)

Fine a code block that says...
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11CF-96B8-444553540000" id="obj2" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0" border="0" width="882" height="30">
<param name="movie" value="menu2.swf">
<param name="quality" value="High">
<embed src="menu2.swf" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" name="obj2" width="882" height="30"></object>
Replace that code block with this, and test to see if this works...
<script type="text/javascript" src="swfobject.js"></script>

<div id="flashcontent">
This text is replaced by the Flash movie.
</div>

<script type="text/javascript">
var so = new SWFObject("menu2.swf", "mymovie", "882", "30", "8", "#FFFFFF");
so.write("flashcontent");
</script>

<div id="flashcontent">

</div>

<script type="text/javascript">
var so = new SWFObject("menu2.swf", "mymovie", "882", "30", "8", "#FFFFFF");
so.write("flashcontent");
</script>[/html][/QUOTE]

Replace text with flash movie but it ends up with text in menu area ? In other words no movie just text. This is the dumbest I've felt in a long time...:mad:

[CyanBlue]

Um... Create a dummy page so that I can actually see that... ;)

[CyanBlue]

First of all, you have not download the ZIP file from that site... Download the file, unzip the swfobject.js file from it, and upload it to the root directory of your domain... and test again... ;)

[Wheels59]

That did it when I uploaded into root. It's the simple things, it was in a folder in root not in root.

Thank you very much Cyan Blue

Bottom menu won't work. Java should see it ?
