I notice that I forgot to include a link to the page with the problem. My apologies - here it is:

Bob, I didn't put in the code you suggested yet. I did try it locally. IE6 STUBBORNLY refuses to show the Flash. The above link will take you to the page with code for the container movie which calls the flash. Works great in FF and Opera. IE6 never seems to load it. It goes and goes and goes, but never gets there. I got the same result testing your solution locally.

I'm determined to find a good, standards compliant way to serve Flash clips in IE as well as other browsers, and I know some of the population who will view the site may have Javascript turned off, so that's the reason for wanting a Javascript-less solution.

hi Leslie,

Bert Doorn recently suggested to me that I try:

<object data="whatever.swf"  width="x" height="y"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash">
             <param name="movie" value="whatever.swf" />
             <param name="quality" value="high" />
             <p>No Flash?</p>
           </object>

and so far I haven't found anywhere that it doesn't work!  I've tested it in
IE5.5, 6, FF1, Opera8 and with Flash file sizes up to 90K.  I haven't found
any evidence of streaming problems at all. I haven't reported back to Bert
about this, as I was going to test on bigger Flash files first, so if you're
reading this Bert, Thank you!

Incidentally, it validates as xhtml 1.0 strict!

This seems like a revelation to me, and I'd be interested if anyone else
knows of any problems?
