I guess the Front Page is writing the object wrong. I replaced Front Page's
object code with this code from Dream Weaver and your menu displays
correctly without the Flash 7 install window popping up too...

<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.ca
b#version=6,0,29,0" width="747" height="40">
<param name="movie" value="Menu_Bars.swf">
<param name="quality" value="high">
<embed src="Menu_Bars.swf" quality="high"
pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="747"
height="40"></embed></object>

Many thanks to Kevin L. Bowling and "trafalz" for prompt replies to original
post.

Herewith responses:

KEVIN L. BOWLING: Have no idea where the window stating that FLASH PLAYER 7
was required for the Web Page being accessed, and asking if download was
required, came from. It appeared the very first time I checked the page on
the web, and has continued showing up at every access since.

Do you think it may have something to do with the run problem? My publish
settings call for the Flash 6 Template, so its appearance is really
inexplicable.

Beyond that glitch, any ideas on the movie run failure?

TRAFALZ: Correction of filename errors in html has had no effect.

Movie still wil not run..

I find that the file is on the site after checking as you suggested. It
displays in my browser and reacts to "rollovers" and "on releases" the way
it should. The movie is actually still in progress and only the first Main
Menu item "PRODUCTS" has been completed-as you may have noticed-as I wanted
to check out my work before I went further.


Do either of you two worthy gentlemen have any further advice to offer? I
am really curious about that weird Flash Player 7 window appearing for no
reason, not to mention how PO'ing the failure of my movie to run is getting
to be.

Thanks so very much for your efforts so far. Greatly appreciated.

[quoted text, click to view]

This is the code as it is on your page Bert:
<OBJECT CLASSID="CLSID:D27CDB6E-AW6D-11cf-9688-445535400000" width="747"
height="40"

CODEBASE="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.ca
b#version=6,0,0,0">
<PARA NAME="MOVIE" VALUE="Menu_Bars.swf">
<PARA NAME="PLAY" VALUE="true">
<PARA NAME="QUALITY" VALUE="best">
<PARA NAME="LOOP" VALUE="false">
<EMBED SOURCE="Menu_Bars.swf" WIDTH="747" HEIGHT="40" PLAY="true"
QUALITY="best" "LOOP"="false"
PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer">
</EMBED></OBJECT>

See the difference? Easiest to let flash publish as .html and copy and paste
that code.

Kevin
