Created a flash navbar and referenced it as following in my HTML:


<td height="96">
<OBJECT classid="clsid: D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=5,0,0,0"
width="127" height="107">
<PARAM name="movie" value="Vector.swf">
<PARAM name="quality" value="high">
<PARAM name="menu" value="true">
<EMBED src="flash/Vector.swf"
width="127"
height="107"
quality="high"
menu="true"
pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash" swLiveConnect="true">
</EMBED>
</OBJECT>
</td>


I've uploaded the .swf as binary into the correct directory (with correct case referencing). The page loads (well, the bulk of it) but doesn't show the navbar. I'm using IE6 and it looks like it's still trying to download 1 item from the server but never acomplishes the task. The .swf is only 37K. I've also checked the plugin download link, it's active and responds quickly.

Help... please...

Could you please give us a URL to check it out?.
Sounds like your .swf is the problem.

Yep, url is http://cbamford.temp.powweb.com/inwork.php

Please excuse the crudity of the page, it's currently under development.

Cheers for any help.

shows your Flash menu works and is where you specified.

Oh, your poll is not working correctly, so your page hangs up on that and won't load the Flash menu.

So, it's the poll stuff then. Cheers for looking into it Yvette but I'm even more confused now.

If you click Vote to vote on your poll, you are redirected to http://cbamford.temp.powweb.com/poll/process_vote.php and see this error:

ERROR: Couldn't process vote: no option id submitted.

<form action="/poll/process_vote.php" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="id" value="2">

This code is located outside the TABLE tag and should be within the td where the other hidden value appears.

Sorted this out about a week ago but haven't got round to getting back here and posting as to why it was failing.

<PARAM name="movie" value="Vector.swf">
<EMBED src="flash/Vector.swf"

The first PARAM line is the reason it was failing, not referencing the directory for the flash. Put in the flash/ and all worked perfectly.

Cheers for all the help.
