hi guys,
I'm currently trying to upload a new website. It works if I put in the complete URL www.rainermarialatzke.com/main.swf
however, it won't appear when i type in www.rainermarialatzke.com.
Does anyone know why?? my source code is as follows. I just can't see why it wouldn't work.....

Why did you put that in noscript tags? It works fine if you remove the script and noscript tags and just leave the embed code.

Perhpas someone else could give you insight on how to make this code valid (http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.rainermarialatzke.com%2F) XHTML transitional.

You realize that anyone using assistive programs (screen readers for instance), and search engine spiders will see abolutely nothing on the site ?

because it's flash? Is there anything I can do to prevent that?

I did come across this program once, but am not exactly sure if i want to try it, what do you think?

Another option is to use SWFObject and create alternate content. People without Flash would see the jpeg (not sure about the assistive readers though). Spiders could see and read your alternate text content. In your case that content would be a jpeg image of the first (or last) frame of the .swf. Use an <alt> tag to give some description of the page and map out a hotspot or two to make it clickable. At least that may be better than a blank page.
