Well - that's jsut for netscape - IE needs the Object tag - These other classid tags and code base tags are important because they will allow the browsers to fetch player updates or the plugins if a viewer doesn't have them.
<object classid= "clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" <clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000> codebase= "http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#ver sion=4,0,2,0" <http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#ver sion=4,0,2,0> width="400" height="250"> <param name=movie value="../charts/#adids[7]#.swf"> <param name=quality value=high> <embed src="../charts/#adids[7]#.swf" quality=high pluginspage= "http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version= ShockwaveFlash" <http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version= ShockwaveFlash> type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="250"> </embed> </object> A few things to note - 1) NS doesn't need a closing </embed> tag - those html code validation softwares will pick that up . I usually leave it there. 2) Shockwave being so much larger - You do have quality-"high" which could make a difference - but for the most part - it is either the way the file is built OR the export compression selected. If cf is producing the charting - no doubt there is alot of component baggage with it . You also mentioned drill down click through information on the bar graph itself which no doubt will add to file size. Try if you have the option - export movie jpg compression at 60 or 70 - you'll notice sometimes a big file size difference while not much quality degradation hope this helps, jay miller Joe Eugene wrote: Thanks..I think i got straight <embed src="../charts/#adids[7]#.swf" quality="high" pluginspage= "http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"; <http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer> type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="250"></embed> Is the right way to do this? why is the shockwave file 3 times bigger than *.png? Takes soo much time to load. Any ideas?

If you post the code that outputs the object / embed tags - I'll be happy to look at it and check it out. You'll need both object and embedd tags to display in IE and NN. jay miller Joe Eugene wrote: Does anybody know what is required to display shockwave (*.swf) files, generated from a cfchart. The advantange over png/jpg files is the mouse over and stuff.. but i cant get it to display. CFMX/WINK2k box.
