Hey guys. Can anyone help please?
I'm trying to use a flash menu for my website. Below is the XHTML code for the main page. I'm trying to make the flash menu appear in the #flashcontent div (that is in the navigation bar). It won't work. All I see when I open it in my browser is, well, nothing. Not even the alternative text that is supposed to have been there if my flash player wasn't working. Nothing. I checked the links. None broken. I don't understand. All code validates with XHTML 1.0 Strict.

Any ideas?
Thanks

Try getting rid of the colour code in your flash code. If it's a background colour or something it will already be coded in your flash file.
"#01519e" should not be there. If you need to add other Param things, you can do it after that part of the code, like this:

so.addParam("loop", "false");
so.addParam("autostart", "true");

so, without your colour code, it will look like this:

<script type="text/javascript">
// <![CDATA[
var so = new SWFObject("Flash_Menu_Labs_open_source.swf", "menu", "200", "300", "8");
so.write("flashcontent");
// ]]>

www.mainsites.ca is my website, and yes, some of it is crappy.

Have something to add? We’d love to hear it!
