No problems at all, getting some where believe me. Some clarification is needed though. First message first
1. Because I'm such a novice, I'm not sure what you mean by > swfobject.js is not found. > swfobject.js is a javascript file which must be available to the page within a script tag (point 2) its not in the page. Without it calls to swfobject code won't work and very little will happen, with dynamic syntax nothing (might get swf working with static - this method uses less javascript - this is not the syntax I use) > I did generate the code and pasted it into my html snippet on iWeb... > it also worked on all browsers except IE. I don't know iWeb - aint IE a pain! 2. adding the following (depending on where 'I' have the swfobject) > <script src="/Waxlander_Gallery/Home_files/swfobject.js" > type="text/javascript"></script> > also upload the swfobject.js file to your server - put it the Waxlander_Gallery/Home_files/ directory - assuming you have not changed the folder names to have lowercase letters (changing this may, depending on your server, affect other files sorry I should have said that) the above tag goes in the head of HTML doc If you are using Firefox get the firebug extension. Enable the console and net tabs (safari has profiler) (If your not using Firefox you should - bit of FF evangelishism, actually you can do without it but it really helps because of the firebug plugin its a real help) - if you use firebug you'll better see whats going on. It will help you Xray your page next email: Where in the previous code do I post the > Alternative Content code that was generated....?

You choose which syntax your using - always use dynamic which replaces the content of a target div with the object required to display the swf. The Static syntax works quite differently (I know much less about this as don't use) it is already in the page and uses two objects IE conditional comments and does not require as much Javascript to display - more people will see flash using this method - but some will see nothing (consult the docs for exact info on this). With dynamic you get the alt content in cases where flash is no available or version is not correct. So if you target a div with an id of mythumbDisplay you'll have this in your page <div id="mythumbDisplay"> <a href="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer";> <img src="http://www.adobe.com/images/shared/download_buttons/<http://www.adobe.com/images/shared/download_buttons/get_flash_player.gif> get_flash_player.gif<http://www.adobe.com/images/shared/download_buttons/get_flash_player.gif>" alt="Get Adobe Flash player" /> </a> </div> with this script to trigger it notice I have changed the ticker bit to mythumbDisplay var flashvars = {}; var params = {}; params.bgcolor = "#333333"; params.base = "./"; var attributes = {}; swfobject.embedSWF("Waxlander Thumbnails 100pixels.swf", "mythumbDisplay", "2700", "400", "7.0.0", false, flashvars, params, attributes); - S 2009/3/26 Adobevision <adobevis...@gmail.com> > > Also, > Where in the previous code do I post the > Alternative Content code that was generated....?
