Hi K, 3 things.
1) Your using swfobject 1.5 - your syntax is 1.5 2) Your missing a div with the id of flashContent <div id="flashContent"></div> 3) Your swf is in the page using object / embed - this is why you have the swf displaying - it does not need embed using swf object at all 4) </noscript> has no beginning tag you can remove this. correcting point two will get you page using swfobject 1.5 to embed, you may ve better off using swfobject 2.x - S 2009/3/26 kip <[email protected]> > > Hi, > > Okay, I finally have major success with getting my menu to finally > play in FF and IE...now for the down side: I am getting an error in > Firebug that states > "n is null > SWFObject()("flashContent")swfobject.js (line 8) > www.jackpinewebdesign.com()()" > > I ended up contacting the creator of the menu to help me with this as > I was getting nowhere with the swfObject on my own...not sure why that > is...
