    Browser Problems

    Hi there...I've been using Firefox for years and rarely use IE myself. However, I've recently upgraded my website (using Flash8) and I got an MSN from a buddy of mine saying he's having trouble loading the pages. I've checked it on my PC and I see the same problem. I've updated my flash players but the site still continues to be a pain!

    Can someone check my source code to make sure I've not done something stupid!?

    I've looked at it and can't figure it out myself. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

    The site is The TequilaTown

    Okay, here's what you have done.

    <object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0" width="750" height="400" id="home_main" align="middle">
    <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
    <param name="movie" value="home_main.swf" /><param name="quality" value="high" /><param name="bgcolor" value="#000000" /><embed src="swf/home_main.swf" quality="high" bgcolor="#000000" width="740" height="400" name="home_main" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" />
    </object>

    Here's what this particular movie should be:

    <object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0" width="750" height="400" id="home_main" align="middle">
    <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
    <param name="movie" value="swf/home_main.swf" /><param name="quality" value="high" /><param name="bgcolor" value="#000000" /><embed src="swf/home_main.swf" quality="high" bgcolor="#000000" width="740" height="400" name="home_main" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" />
    </object>

    You didn't reference the source path in the movie src parameter like you did in the embed src parameter. This seems to be the problem in all the tags I see.

    Try sourcing them all the same (swf/moviename.swf), and let me know if that fixes your problem.

    Now, do I ever feel like a noob! All that thinking from a basic typo!

    Cheers jweeks123, I changed the 'value' to incorporate the /swf and all is well!

    *hangs head in shame*
