This looks wrong. You might want to use an absolute path here, as in http://www.y.z/catalog/images/header.swf

At the very least make this and the next line that is highlighted THE SAME. This line is missing the .swf extension

<param name="movie" value="../images/header.swf">

This looks wrong. You might want to use an absolute path here, as in http://www.y.z/catalog/includes/header.swf

<embed src="../images/header.swf" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="426" height="199"></embed>

This looks wrong. You might want to use an absolute path here, as in http://www.y.z/catalog/includes/header.swf

Also have a look at:

The flash is definitely working right,

http://www.arab-broker.com/carparts/carpar...ages/header.swf

So your linking is wrong.

Read through the links I sent you and you should be OK as the movie plays just fine in my browser (above)

g.

My flash banner doesn't work !
