1) don't see why you need - check if you actually need what your page is referancing get rid of what you don't <script src="Scripts/AC_ActiveX.js" type="text/javascript"></script> 2) don't have the swfobject code twice. 3) Make sure the container with the correct id IS in the page mark up 4) you have freedom to put files where ever the page can source them - your using a Scripts/ dir (I keep dirs lowercase) 5) moving style upwards in source code, and script down is also a good idea these last two points are wandering OT but might help you longer term and might not be causing your troubles now but it clouds your situation ~ but point 3 may solve the issue - S 2009/3/22 kip <[email protected]> > > 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...
