Hi

 

The whole of my homepage is a flash movie, with the catergory buttons running along the top in the header. However in IE the flash movie will not load until it has been activated by the user. :'(

 

Does anyone know how to stop this from happening.

 

I've been reading about how to fix it in a HTML page but can't find any about php.

 

Thanks

Dave

there is no difference between php en html for as far a a webbroser is concerned. Valid php generates valid html.

eh, valid php can just as easily generate crappy html.

if make it do so yeah, but then you probably can't code html either.

but that was not my point, lol.

if you go to here http://www.gumproductions.co.uk/cocoshop a flash movie should load into the main area. It works fine in slimbrowser but just doesn't work in IE.

 

do you know how i can fix this.

 

I have found details about fixing this for HTML pages and have put those changes into my index.php but it doesn't work. if i create a html file for my homepage will it cause any problems with the site..

 

thanks

<param name="movie" value="file:///H|/My Documents/Gum Productions/Web Site/public_html/cocoshop/images/homepage.swf" />

<embed src="file:///H|/My Documents/Gum Productions/Web Site/public_html/cocoshop/images/homepage.swf" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="835" height="490"></embed>
