i designed a site in flash (www.dmahesq.com) and certain browsers seem not to be able to view it properly; any hints as to how the code should be (embed/object) - also do i need all that crap at the beginning of the html code which is automatically generated when i export (this file contains......[lots of things seemingly unnecessarily repeated]....?
in regards to the "text used in this movie" tags, i usually delete most if not all of it. it doesn't change the movie, but does increase the size of page to be loaded.
in regards to browser incompatability, not sure. i'm having my site reviewed at this time, and if i hear of folks having troubles i'll be sure to post it here.
Maybe the sites which do not display the swf file properly have not installed the Flash4/shockwave plugin. You have to download it somewhere at www.macromedia.com.
That would be the only reason the flash4 isn't displayed properly actually.
i know what you mean; however, other flash sites are viewed with ease...........any other suggestions - perhaps something to do with "embed" or "object" tags? If so, what?
what version of Flash are you using? and also, what Flash format have you set in your publish settings. I seem to recall that there were "backwards compatibility" problems with Flash.
you asked for it:<HTML>

This was what was produced when I exported from Flash- and it seems that if I remove all the repeated "garbage" in the beginning, the page doesn't work properly......help!

Ouch! Isn't this called spamming?
If I see this mess, I think that it can be done better, but it will take some time since I haven't worked with Flash for a long time...
what does spamming have to do with this? what do you mean "if" you see it - and why do you refer to my webpage -which you haven't seen- as a "mess"? The page works in many browsers, but not on some macs (which ARE able to see OTHER flash sites)---really i'm wondering if the embed/object tags are "ideal" the way they are --- and i'm also wondering if all that garble at the beginning is necessary....
just went through the tedious task of comparing all of your code to the code embedded on my flash pages, (which to my knowledge have received no problem reports), and our code is identical except for that long list of crap. it won't make any difference except in html file size, but you can erase all except "Answers Deitzer Moran & Hallett About Our Firm Our Attorneys HOW To Find Us this month ' s clue LEGAL Terms questions", and if you wish, you can even erase that!
as i said, other than that, i see no reason whatsoever why your embedding shouldn't work. sorry
