Okay, so this is what I did... I moved the swfobject.js file, menu.xml file and the menu.swf to the main file structure in the root directory... I had them in a separate file called flash.... Now they reside in the main root of the site. After replacing my code with your code, I now get a black box showing in FF, and IE... but it still will not play. At least I can see the area where the movie should reside and play. Progress. The 404 error code now displays /* SWFObject v2.1 <http://code.google.com/p/swfobject/> Copyright (c) 2007-2008 Geoff Stearns, Michael Williams, and Bobby van der Sluis This software is released under the MIT License <http:// www.opensource.org/licenses/mit-license.php> */ ......
