   Ok if this has been answered somewhere then just point me there but I couldn't find this in the forum. Lots of flash stuff but not a case like this necessarily. Sooooo. here are the links. http://www.plantnj.com/diary The navigation bar on the right works great other then the fact that none of the buttons will really link to anywhere. It should work like the nav on http://www.plantnj.com I have this code

   <object codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,28,0" title="navigation" width="167" height="680">
   <param name="movie" value="http://www.plantnj.com/assets/navigation.swf"/>
   <param name="quality" value="high" />
   <embed src="http://www.plantnj.com/assets/navigation.swf" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="167" height="680" >
   </embed></object>

   in the sidebar.php file. People have said the embed tags are not necessary but last time I checked it was necessary for Firefox. If I am wrong correct me. I am dying here. Someone let me know what comma I am missing please. PS Also I couldnt use java for some reason. Normally I would post it by putting this 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','167','height','680','src','../assets/navigation','quality','high','pluginspage','http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash','movie','assets/navigation' ); //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="167" height="680">
   <param name="movie" value="assets/navigation.swf" />
   <param name="quality" value="high" />
   <embed src="../assets/navigation.swf" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="167" height="680"></embed>
   </object>
   </noscript>

   But I cant use that code because of java. Soooo I am wonderin if it is not working because the AC_runblah blah file isnt included?

   Had embedded wrong. here is the right way.

   <object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" id="someID" width="167" height="680">
   <param name="movie" value="http://www.plantnj.com/assets/navigation.swf">
   <param name="bgcolor" value="#000000">
   <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always">
   <param name="allowFullScreen" value="true">
   <param name="name" value="someValue">
   <param name="wmode" value="transparent">
   <!--[if !IE]>-->
   <object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://www.plantnj.com/assets/navigation.swf" width="167" height="680">
   <!--<![endif]-->
   <img src="preview.gif" alt="Preview">
   <p>Download the flash player</p>
   <!--[if !IE]>-->
   <param name="bgcolor" value="#000000">
   <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always">
   <param name="allowFullScreen" value="true">
   <param name="name" value="someValue">

   <!--<![endif]-->
   </object>

   I followed this example and finally got Flash working in my sidebar at http://guntherportfolio.com

   However, it works with Firefox but not IE7 or Chrome. I tried a number of WordPress plugins but none worked. Here is my code:

   <object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" id="someID" width="125" height="125">
   <param name="movie" value="http://guntherportfolio.com/wp-content/themes/gunther/img/EUbanner_small_linked.swf ">
   <param name="bgcolor" value="#000000">
   <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always">
   <param name="allowFullScreen" value="false">
   <param name="name" value="someValue">
   <param name="wmode" value="transparent">
   <!--[if !IE]>-->

   <object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://guntherportfolio.com/wp-content/themes/gunther/img/EuPDbanner_small.swf " width="125" height="125">
   <!--<![endif]-->
   <img src="preview.gif" alt="Preview">
   <p>Download the flash player</p>
   <!--[if !IE]>-->
   <param name="bgcolor" value="#000000">
   <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always">
   <param name="allowFullScreen" value="false">
   <param name="name" value="someValue">
   </object>
   <!--<![endif]-->
   </object>

   I'm guessing you have the actionscript for the navigation set to "_self". I'm looking everywhere to fix the same problem... When I change the banners I made to open in "_blank" it works perfectly in any browser, change it to anything other than "_blank" and they dont respond to clicks at all. :(
