hi, thanks for all replies as i learn i am think of usage with the jeoring (sp?) flashplayer, once you embed the players on the page, the ID is used for playiing individual movies in each flashplayer. If they are all the same ID, i think they all play the same movie :D
can anyone confirm or deny that? cheers On Jan 20, 11:14 am, "Aran Rhee" <[email protected]> wrote: > Vincent is right in that the number of Flash files to load is not affected > by specifying a ID or not. > > You only need to change the ID if you are wanting to change the original ID > of the DIV for some reason.
