Ok, so a few things: 1) You swfoject code should be in the <head> tag. This is so it can execute on the domready event before the page has rendered. 2) The loading issue is to do with relative paths.
The preloader is trying to load the banner from: http://www.cdcorthomobility.com/CDC_Ortho_Banner.swf Try setting the BASE param on your swfobject code to something like "/templates/cdc_ortho/images". (or where ever the files actually live). Read more on the base param here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/127/tn_12701.html Your other option is to set absolute paths to your child swfs.
