So I created the top of my website in flash. On my computer(PC), and several
other PCs (approx. 10 different), it shows up no problem. But when I try to
view it on a mac, regardless if its Internet Explorer or Safari, it doesn't
load. I don't realy understand why this is happening. Does anyone have any
suggestions how to fix this? :frown;

I don't know if they fixed it in safari but Internet Explorer on the mac can't work with FS-commands.

The problem is simple. In your HTML your object tag references TAS.swf
where your embed tag references tas.swf (lowercase). If your site is
running on a linux server then filenames are case-sensitive and so your
server cannot locate tas.swf because the file is named with upper-case
as referenced in the object tag.

Since object is for ActiveX (Windows IE on PC) and embed is for Mac and
non IE browsers you cannot load the file on those platforms becasue the
file does not exist. Just change your embed to reference the
capitalized filename and it'll be fine.

It seems that your swf is fine.

I would double check your HTML.

Check on eMac running 10.2.3 in Safari.

Hope this helps.
