hi,

just joined your forum today after finding a thread about another issue, seems like you offer a great service.

i recently taught myself flash and have a basic understanding of it. i searched online and figured out how to embed it into iweb and published the site. on mac firefox everything works and looks great. on safari the links don't turn to hands when you mouse over but they work and you can click through the site also part of the 2nd page gets clipped at the top and i can't seem to move it into a place where it won't do that. then this morning i triedit on a couple of pc's and none of the links work and you can't navigate past hte landing page. i am fairly web savy but out of my depth writing code (unless it's a cut and paste jobby) i prefer to use iweb for the ease of use but i also have dreamweaver cs3 but haven't been getting along particularly well with it. please advise.

thanks in advance,

sam

You probably didn't fully implement the embed flash code in your html. Can you post a link to the page so I can look at it?

here's a link bloodredcolt.com

i made the links in iweb as invisible boxes over top of the flash links that aren't actually links. (if you get what i mean)

thanks

You have a lot of unecessary style code but not the correct flash embed code, as I suspected. Go here to retrieve the embed code:
http://www.w3schools.com/flash/flash_inhtml.asp

This code should make your flash button functionality appear. Right now it's rendering your flash without this functionality on teh pc I'm testing with (running XP; using FF2 and IE 7)

I suggest you create an html version of your site for those folks who have flash turned off, and create an html link to that version of your site.
