Hi there,

I've completed a few recent websites where the basic Flash effects as far as .swf files go are simply not showing up on certain work networks.

At first I assumed it was because of security settings ( the main network I'm having probs with is my own work network which is Government/Local Authority based - I'm a firefighter and trying to view the websites through our brigades network ).

But then, i looked back at a website I did ages ago and the Flash anims within that all load up and display perfectly well?.

The recent ones I have done all just show the auld Red "X" in the box where the file is supposed to be.

Just wondering on why that could be?.

This latest one I'm working on has a fairly simple .swf file as a header on a page and I have now got to the point where I'm wondering if it's something to do with the way I am embedding them into web pages that is causing this hassle?.

I've heard about different ways to embed an .swf Flash animation, some are supposed to be better than others?.

I'll post my coding up here as to how I've done it thus far, if someone could take a look and point out anything wrong with it or any way I could improve the coding, that would be tip-top!!!

Here's the coding of the latest one I'm working on:-

Code:
<script type="text/javascript">
AC_FL_RunContent( 'codebase','http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,28,0','width','728','height','90','vspace','30','src','Images/Flash/header2','quality','high','pluginspage','http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash','movie','Images/Flash/header2' ); //end AC code
      </script>
      <noscript>
      <object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,28,0" width="728" height="90" vspace="30">
        <param name="movie" value="Images/Flash/header2.swf" />
        <param name="quality" value="high" />
        <embed src="Images/Flash/header2.swf" width="728" height="90" vspace="30" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></embed>
      </object>
      </noscript>

I will upload the index.html page that the above is placed on to a spare active domain I have if that is any help.

Thanks in advance for any advice!!! :D

using <noscript> tags means it will only show in browsers that have javascript disabled/don't support javascript.....

not sure if that's related to your problem though???
