    Movie not loaded?

    I followed the directions for the IE update, but it doesn't seem to be working for me. When I go to my webpage nothing but the background loads. When I right-click the page it says "movie not loaded". So obviously it is not loading my SWF file.

    Does anyone know what I am missing or how to fix this problem?

    You closed off the div tag before adding the new flash object, change it to this;

    Code:
    <div id="movie">
    You are not running JavaScript.  In order to view this site you need to be running Javascript. 
          <script language="JavaScript">
       var fo = new FlashObject("harvest2.swf", "movie", "1000", "900", "6", "#000000");
       fo.addParam("quality", "high");
       fo.write("movie");
          </script></div>

    I'm out of ideas. I never had any trouble with it myself. Are you using the one from Macromedia?

    Try the one from Macromedia. I never had any trouble with either though.

    could you copy and paste a copy of the one that you are using? I can't find the macromedia file.

    Put your working movie page back up so I can get the source.

    Make a new folder in root named scripts. Download the attachment, put the two js files in it and change your harvest page to what is in the txt file.

    WOW! That fixed it!

    What was I doing wrong? I don't understand why it wouldn't work the other way.

    Thanks so much! I am thankful for all of your help!

    Not sure what you were doing with the other one, but this one always works.

    I got a letter from him this morning...he has been out of town and will return home on Wednesday. He does have a verified account at PayPal. So far, I'm not too worried, especially since it's only 5 bucks.

    I got the same mail.

    I've also gotten the old Nigerian mail too.

    Wish I had kept one of those, for laughs.

    Hi...

    Is there a solution for running multiple swf's on a page? I'm having trouble with this.

    Thanks..
