have you tried the online generator? http://www.bobbyvandersluis.com/swfobject/generator/index.html
have you got a link so others can point out your errors in the mean time there is a great deal of information on the swfobject wiki - but being a noob this may not be to your taste. http://code.google.com/p/swfobject/wiki/documentation checkout http://learnswfobject.com/the-basics/ ---- I would compare your current markup with that created by the generation tool (first link) swf or *S*hock*W*ave *F*lash are the end results of exporting *FLA*sh projects. You don't change it but export the fla document to a swf (flash IDE can output to other formats too) you want the following in the <head> of you html document before it closes is a ideal <!-- for a script tag that *S*ou*RC*e's an external javascript file - then calls to setup you desired swfobject(s)--> <script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/swfobject/2.2/swfobject.js"; type="text/javascript"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> // what goes here depends on the type of swfobject you using in the page - see links 2 & 3 for to scoop on this </script> -- post back if you have any further questions. links would be helpful if you can or at least some sample code with an explanation of what your hoping to achieve hth - S On 31 July 2010 17:07, JayABee <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi > > Please excuse me but I am a complete amateur to Javascript.
