    First time SWFObject User

    I can't get SWFObject to work for the life of me. I'm ready to dump myself into a van down by the river. Help.

    Here is my html, followed by a thought or two...


    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
    <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
    <head>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="swfobject.js"></script>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
    <title>Fixed Width CSS Layouts - 3 Column - fw-35-3-col</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="main.css" />
    </head>

    <body>

    <!-- Begin Wrapper -->
    <div id="wrapper">

    <!-- Begin Header -->
    <div id="header">

    <div id="flashcontent">

    This text is replaced by the Flash movie.

    </div>

    <script type="text/javascript">
    var so = new SWFObject("NavBarHome.swf", "NavBarHome", "982", "111", "9", "#003366");
    so.write("flashcontent");
    </script>




    Arrrgghhh... I don't know if the problem is in the "NavBarHome" ID. I don't know how to officially set this. I am just using the file name in leiu of any more official sounding way. My FLA has several movie clips in it, so I'm not sure how I would set an overall parameter, if that is indeed the problem....

    I've fllushed away hours- please help!!!

    Is that ALL of your HTML? Because you are missing alot of your closing tags which may have something to do with it.
    Code:
    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
    <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
    <head>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="swfobject.js"></script>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
    <title>Fixed Width CSS Layouts - 3 Column - fw-35-3-col</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="main.css" />
    </head>
    
    <body>
    
    <!-- Begin Wrapper -->
    <div id="wrapper">
    
    <!-- Begin Header -->
    <div id="header">
    
    <div id="flashcontent">
    
    This text is replaced by the Flash movie.
    
    </div>
    
    <script type="text/javascript">
    var so = new SWFObject("NavBarHome.swf", "NavBarHome", "982", "111", "9", "#003366"); 
    so.write("flashcontent"); 
    </script>
    
    </div>
    </div>
    </body>
    </html>
