flash (macromedia): [quoted text, click to view]

overtop of the movie and the "play" is not checked. The other 4 it shows up
checked. where have I gone wrong?

you "<param name="" has no size for the file and you publishing in flash 4 version ?
That's rather old.
Use the flash build in Publish feature to generate complete object and embed tags.

Hi,
Try to use the sample code you used with the other 4 SWFs and replace the name of the SWF, ID and dimentions with the new 5th name and see what is happening.

Hope this solves the problem

<classid=".... is wrong

it should be

2nd thing,

width & height parameters missing..

you need width & height for both <object> tag and <embed> tag...

check it out...

Made the change recommended, still will not play when loaded.

I am attaching the HTML code the Flash 8 produces. All other was html code that
was produced by MX2004. The move will only run if I select play from the right
click menu. All other movies run without this step.

Perhaps there is a stop(); action on first frame which prevents it from running.
You don't have any Pause At Start parameter in your current object embed tags
so it should not be related to it.
Is that problem by any chance happens in IE browser only ?

If "paused at start" would be set on, the parameter in HTML would be
<param name="play" value="false"
and
play="false"
but the above code doesn't show it.
There is something else, as in my previous reply.

<urami>
If you want to mail me - DO NOT LAUGH AT MY ADDRESS

may be either one below:

- you have a stop() script in your movie;
- you have "Paused at start" option selected in publish settings HTML tab.

if not above, please show your whole html page souce.

I am unable to find any settings that would account for this issue. I can run
the HTML code by it's self and all is well but when I include this on the page
the issue arises. I am including the complete page code.

oh well, you have a stop() in the 1st frame of your Introduction.swf

ok i see a big mistake in your html code

<body>
</body><table ....

all content should be inside body tag!!!
well, this might not related to your issue

line 78
<param name="movie" value="/Lower%20Left.swf">
remove the slash, change to
<param name="movie" value="Lower%20Left.swf">

you have 9 swf,
3 of it have loop param set to false,
8 with version 6,
only 1 with version=8,0,0,0 (Introduction.swf)

are you purposely set it like that?

First, thanks for all of the time taken...
Moved the </body>
Removed the value="(/)Lower...
Corrected the loop is true statement.
After all of the corrections there still seems to be no change.

The swf file that fails to start is the "Introduction.swf"
I am including the amended code...

the page is located at:

Interesting but there is no indication of a stop anywhere in the swf file. In
fact when I run the html code generated by Flash 8, by it's self, all works
correctly but when I copy it over to the "index" page it fails to work.

but when i decompile your swf file, I see a stop(); in the 1st keyframe..
that means it is nothing about your html.
