looks ok in firefox but wont run on ie

first thing i would do is add a preloader since its over bout 64k in size

second i wouldnt use the tradition method of <embed> as thats a depriciated tag and will throw errors for activex

u need to add the movie to validate with your xhtml page see my way on this thread http://forums.hostmysite.com/viewtopic.php?t=497
that should help a ton

the other thing is what r u using for flash version detection? cause it doesnt work in ie but did in ff

Funny you should ask ... I pulled the detection script for you past post. No good?

I used your complian code to insert the swf in my main page, but it gave me warning messages & I changed it back. Odd that MX2004 would be giving old code! I'll try it again.

Code:

Oops ... operator error, imagine that! Does it look better?

I'll go back and try to better optimize my back grounds. The slides are loading dynamically, each slide about 30K.

Follow up question: Here is the default code dwMX2004 creates for a basic html web page I've been using. Does it meet the "validation" specs OK?

Code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<title>Untitled Document</title>
</head>

<body>
</body>
</html>

This is one (of many) ways to validate your HTML code...

Neon... hint hint... your doctype determines what standards you're going to comply to. Search google for "W3C Doctype"

Thanks ...
Looks like I'm set for "XHTML Transitional DTD".
