    Problem with Flash

    Sorry about submitting another dumb Flash question, but I am Dazed and Confused, PLEASE HELP! If you can.

    I've spent the last 2 days reading post and trying everything I could find, but to no avail.

    THE PROBLEM:
    I have several locations, including the header, and cat-tree menu, were I am using flash.

    For some reason when I paste the flash code, in its entirety, into my store it does not display anything.
    example of non-working code for cat tree...
    HTML Code:
    <script type="text/javascript">
    AC_FL_RunContent( 'codebase','http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,28,0','width','150','height','700','src','../Merchant5/Cattree','quality','high','pluginspage','http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash','movie','../Merchant5/Cattree' ); //end AC code
    </script><noscript><object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,28,0" width="150" height="700">
      <param name="movie" value="../Merchant5/Cattree.swf">
      <param name="quality" value="high"> 
      <embed src="../Merchant5/Cattree.swf" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="150" height="700"></embed>
    </object></noscript>


    However, if I remove everything from the code except the following line it works fine.
    example of working code for cat tree...
    HTML Code:
    <embed src="../Merchant5/Cattree.swf" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="150" height="700"></embed>


    Now this would be just fine with me if the cat tree menu were working properly. I don’t know if the problem has anything to do with the shortened code or not.

    For some reason when you first enter the site, none of the Links in the category tree work. However, if you click on ANY link in the store other than the category tree, and then go back to the cat tree, it works fine.
    (It's like it needs a kick-start or something)

    I am thinking that the problem may be;
    1) The missing code, or
    2) The location of my flash file in the root directory.

    So to sum it all up, my questions are…

    1) Why does only the shorter version of the code work?
    2) Why is my cat tree not working when first entering the store?


    PLEASE HELP BEFORE I TEAR OUT THE LITTLE HAIR I HAVE LEFT!

    It may or may not be related, but take a peak at the source of your code - your
    HTML Code:
    <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
    <html>
    is not at the top, it's farther down.

    FWIW - the flash cat tree worked the first time for me.

        how were you able to create a custom look for your store? did you put the pages together in dreamweaver?
