Help with Flash problem please

Hi all,

 

I have read through several threads about Flash but couldn't figure out what's wrong with my page.

 

I wanted a Flash menu, so I downloaded a package that came with editable xml file (to change colours etc). I was looking around the forums and found some suggestions, such as

<iframe src="images/menu.swf" width=150 height=130 frameborder=0 marginheight=0 marginwidth=0 scrolling="no"></p></iframe>

and

<object classid = "clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase= "http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0" width="150" height="130">
	  <param name="movie" value="images/menu.swf">
	  <param name="quality" value="high">
	  <embed src="images/menu.swf" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="150" height="130"></embed>
	  </object>

 

When I used the "iframe" code, it worked (displayed properly and the links worked), but unstable. Sometimes Firefox wouldn't load it, sometimes it would. IE seemed to have no problem showing it.

So I tried the "object" code. It displayed on both Firefox and IE correctly, but the links didn't work.

 

I've put both the swf and xml files in catalog/images.

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks in advance :)

Bump.. I still need help with this.

 

Basically, what is the best way to embed flash that will work on all (or most) browsers?

 

Everywhere I read, the way to do it is to do the <object> code, or implement swfobject script (I tried that as well with no luck). But it could be I didn't do it properly. Any help is greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks :)
