OK.. I finally got it all working - the only thing is that it seems to set the flash file down a bit on the page as if there is a paragraph return in the code at the top... and there is nothing... this code is placed in the post of the wordpress page.
here is the new code: <script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.xxx.com/js/ swfobject.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> var flashvars = {}; var params = {}; params.quality = "high"; params.scale = "noscale"; params.wmode = "transparent"; var attributes = {}; swfobject.embedSWF("http://www.xxx.com/flash/contact-header.swf";, "myAlternativeContent", "642", "286", "9.0.0", false, flashvars, params, attributes); </script> </head> <body> <div id="myAlternativeContent"> <a href="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer";> <img src="http://www.adobe.com/images/shared/download_buttons/ get_flash_player.gif" alt="Get Adobe Flash player" /> </a> </div> On Apr 27, 3:56 pm, Vincent Polite <[email protected]> wrote: > http://www.bobbyvandersluis.com/swfobject/generator/index.htmlis the proper > link I believe? > > On Mon, Apr 27, 2009 at 12:54 PM, Vincent Polite < > > [email protected]> wrote: > > Well the tip I gave you re: the conditionals is just that.
