I'm creating a hand coded website. In it will be several pages which will contain a flash movie. The flash movie is simply a series of thumb nails along the bottom with a larger image above corresponding to the thumbnail.

I have created the swf file succesfully but am having problems getting it to work on the html page.

I have embedded it using :

<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000"
codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/
cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"
width="468" height="60"
id="mymoviename">
<param name="movie"
value="example.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff" />
<embed src="example.swf" quality="high" bgcolor="#ffffff"
width="468" height="60"
name="mymoviename" align="" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer">
</embed>
</object>

And I've tried other variations. I even opened the Flash movie in Flash and published it, copied the code from it and pasted it into my html document.

The problem is the thumbnails (slider) appear with all the images, but when I click on a thumbnail the larger image doesn't appear.

I have the swf file in the same folder as everything else so there's no confusion with locating anything.

I'm using divs to divide up my page as well.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks
