adding flash to my page header – it’s not loading

  • Hello Forum…

    I have created this site:
    https://66.147.242.83/~frienec5/

    I have added a flash element to the header.php template and it looks like this:

    <script type="text/javascript">
AC_FL_RunContent( 'codebase','https://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,28,0','width','960','height','166','src','flashbanner-11-23-09','quality','high','pluginspage','https://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash','movie','flashbanner-11-23-09' ); //end AC code
</script><noscript><object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="https://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,28,0" width="960" height="166">
  <param name="movie" value="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/flashbanner-11-23-09.swf" />
  <param name="quality" value="high" />
  <embed src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/flashbanner-11-23-09.swf" quality="high" pluginspage="https://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="960" height="166"></embed>
</object></noscript>

    The flash will not load and it is making me crazy – and I know it’s something easy. Please help.

  • look at your source. what do you see?

    I know what i see.

    why are you loading flash inside object and embed (embed is deprecated btw) tags inside javascript?

    so how can I fix it?

    <object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="https://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,28,0" width="960" height="166">
  <param name="movie" value="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/flashbanner-11-23-09.swf" />
  <param name="quality" value="high" />
  </object>

    thats proper code, assuming the path to the .swf is correct.

    notice I removed the js and the embed crap.

    Correct – it is working in IE, but not in FF

    any suggestions?
