Need some expertise: I am having a problem that I cannot seem to fix.

While redesigning my site I created a flash header for my top navigation. It works great offline but on the live server it simply will not show up.

Here is the site: www arcionwebdesign com (left the .'s out so not to link on forum)

I tried to trouble shoot to see if our hosting server was having a problem but the file itself shows up:

www arcionwebdesign com/arcion-web-design-navigation-hdr.swf (left the .'s out)

I also tried to just load some flash buttons and text on a test page but it will not display either:

www arcionwebdesign com/test01.htm

All of the pages listed and .swf files are in the root. I have not had a problem with this before and I am using the same code I always use to embed the flash. Perhaps since it is a Linux server I need to do something out of the ordinary (at least for me) on the html page.

Can someone help?

You have <script src="Scripts/AC_RunActiveContent.js" type="text/javascript"></script>is this needed to make this flash work? When I tried to download it, it would not download. Keep in mind that on *NIX, file names are case sensitive

This may be a problem I will check into it and post if it helps.

Adobe's solution to the EOLAS suit is the result of poor programming which is inside AC_RunActiveContent. Use this solution instead:

Yes! Thanks for the input!

Adobe Dreamweaver inserts a js cod reference and file to work around the "click to activate" problem with Flash in IE.

I did not realize the code was inserted in reference to my flash object. So all I had to do was upload the file it created:

Scripts/AC_RunActiveContent.js

Automated coding is a blessing and a curse!
