    Had embedded wrong. here is the right way.

    <object classid=”clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000″ id=”someID” width=”167″ height=”680″>
    <param name=”movie” value=”https://www.plantnj.com/assets/navigation.swf”&gt;
    <param name=”bgcolor” value=”#000000″>
    <param name=”allowScriptAccess” value=”always”>
    <param name=”allowFullScreen” value=”true”>
    <param name=”name” value=”someValue”>
    <param name=”wmode” value=”transparent”>
    <!–[if !IE]>–>
    <object type=”application/x-shockwave-flash” data=”https://www.plantnj.com/assets/navigation.swf&#8221; width=”167″ height=”680″>
    <!–<![endif]–>
    <img src=”preview.gif” alt=”Preview”>
    <p>    Download the flash player</p>
    <!–[if !IE]>–>
    <param name=”bgcolor” value=”#000000″>
    <param name=”allowScriptAccess” value=”always”>
    <param name=”allowFullScreen” value=”true”>
    <param name=”name” value=”someValue”>
    </object>
    <!–<![endif]–>
    </object>

    I followed this example and finally got Flash working in my sidebar at https://guntherportfolio.com

    However, it works with Firefox but not IE7 or Chrome. I tried a number of WordPress plugins but none worked. Here is my code:

    <object classid=”clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000″ id=”someID” width=”125″ height=”125″>
    <param name=”movie” value=”https://guntherportfolio.com/wp-content/themes/gunther/img/EUbanner_small_linked.swf “>
    <param name=”bgcolor” value=”#000000″>
    <param name=”allowScriptAccess” value=”always”>
    <param name=”allowFullScreen” value=”false”>
    <param name=”name” value=”someValue”>
    <param name=”wmode” value=”transparent”>
    <!–[if !IE]>–>

    <object type=”application/x-shockwave-flash” data=”https://guntherportfolio.com/wp-content/themes/gunther/img/EuPDbanner_small.swf ” width=”125″ height=”125″>
    <!–<![endif]–>
    <img src=”preview.gif” alt=”Preview”>
    <p>Download the flash player</p>
    <!–[if !IE]>–>
    <param name=”bgcolor” value=”#000000″>
    <param name=”allowScriptAccess” value=”always”>
    <param name=”allowFullScreen” value=”false”>
    <param name=”name” value=”someValue”>
    </object>
    <!–<![endif]–>
    </object>

    I’m guessing you have the actionscript for the navigation set to “_self”. I’m looking everywhere to fix the same problem… When I change the banners I made to open in “_blank” it works perfectly in any browser, change it to anything other than “_blank” and they dont respond to clicks at all. ??
