Flash in header banner help please

Hi

I am trying to setup a flash banner in the header banner area.

I have placed the code in the html area of the banner setup, but it only shows a white box in the header. I searched the forum, and there was only reference to the path being correct when this happens. As you can see I have placed the full path in and still it does not display.

Anyone help me with what could be wrong.

Here is the code I have placed in the html section. I have also checked that the flash file is present in the banners directory.

<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="<http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0>" width="728" height="90"> <param name="movie" value="<http://www.lozer.co.uk/shop/images/banners/leaderboard.swf>" /> <param name="quality" value="high" /> <embed src="<http://www.lozer.co.uk/shop/images/banners/leaderboard.swf>" quality="high" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="728" height="90" pluginspage="<http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer>" /> </object>

Regards
Laurie

Hi

my test site is below. I have broken the link with a space to stop it being picked up by the search engines.

Laurie,

In FireFox your flash is displaying...in IE it is not and ths should lead you to a fix for flash in IE.

As your code appears to be fine in FF you should look at reasons that flash does not display in IE

Here is the code I have placed in the html section
I could not ferret out where you stated you placed the code as you did not state the file name and there is no "html section" that Zen uses described as such

When you go into banner setup there is a html section.

That is where I placed the code.
