All right, I need more help. Once again I've included my practice page for the flash movie header includeing a bit of the coding that you gave me (in blue) I've tried changing it abit and also downloaded that swfobject provided in the link however, I really don't know what to do with it?
If you can give a bit more time to me that would be nice but I understand it may be too much to explain to this beginner.
I certainly appreciate your help.
