I wish I could link to the actual page but I can't have a broken page in our prod environment.
I went ahead and tried using the code generator and came back with the same results. The Flash just doesn't appear if I am making a call to the swfobject.js file. The only thing I can't do that is considered best practices would be to put the call to the JS file in the <head>. Now that I am not calling in the JS file, the SWF will show. It will also show static content to anyone who doesn't have FLash installed. But it will not detect Flash versions. If you want to see that page, here is the URL. (the guilty are no longer protected I suppose =/ ) http://www.guess.ca/CategoryLanding.aspx?browse=1&page=GRID&root_category|3322=Shoes&category|cat_740|3322=Shoes I've been playing around in Firebug trying to make changes to get this to work, but to no avail. Any help would be appreciated! Thank you.
