First off Ms. sharonjackson embedding Flash in this way will cause the "Flash bug in IE 5.5 and 6 9at least). There was a big hoopla, I can't believe you missed it. Microsoft got sued because they allegedly stole someone else work in developing the Flash activeX component. They had to have something new, and what they came up with was something to discourage web developers from using flash. It made a outline appear around the flash object and then you had to click this box over the object before the flash would run.

Perhaps you're not seeing it because your not testing with IE5.5 or IE6? I'm not even sure if this has been fixed in IE7. Hang on a sec I'll experiment:

Yup, IE 7 has this fixed. But there's still alot of users out there w/ IE 5.5 and IE6.0 isn't there? (I'm not checking this one, it's someone elses turn).


The fix is to use script to document.write the flash object to the page. That's what the Dreamweaver code does. Or you can use soemone elses javascript or you could write your own javascript.
