WP-SWFObject loaded but swf not working (7 posts)

    I've looked all over but cannot find a solution for this problem.

    I believe the WP-SWFObject is working HOWEVER the swf loads up with (i know because I changed the settings for the WP-SWFObject to display background as black and it loads up the area with black background as opposed to the normal current background) However the swf movie doesnt load up!

    The movie by itself works just fine and I even tried loading up the swf in a sample html file and it works however it just doesn't load up on the main index.php. I replaced the flash file with an image instead and it works.

    So I'm stuck and have no idea what the issue is... any help would be deeply appreciated! :(

    Here's my current code looks like (this is the top of the main INDEX.php file):

    <?php get_header(); ?>
    
    <!-- INSERT FLASH HEADER -->
    <?php wp_swfobject_echo("http://dapstar.com/dapstarpublic/wp-content/themes/epsilon/slideshow/slideshow.swf", "900", "250"); ?>
    <!-- END FLASH HEADER -->
    
    <?php get_sidebar(); ?>
    
    <div id="content">
