Thanks for the quick response and I have tried both your suggestions but still not working! I'm not the best at coding and my original code doesn't seem to reflect your suggestions so maybe I'm altering it incorrectly (I used the air swfObject2 generator)! Here is my HTML code before adding any of your stuff and maybe you can point me in the right direction as to where to place the new code.
