Probably here: "followed the instructions" - if you can post a link to the page that you are testing, we can probably spot your error(s) quickly.

First off, you are using the flash default embed, not swf object:
<script src="Scripts/AC_RunActiveContent.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
You should be embedding the swfobject.js file instead of Adobe's RunActive Content, as the instructions suggest.
If you are using the Dyanamic Embed method, so that only the alternative content div is placed in the body, you need the dynamic content script in the head of your document. Are you sure you followed the swfobject instructions?

If you use the generator, it will create all the code you need, you can just copy and paste it into your document.
hth,

Thanks for the advice Jimbo, the DW residue wasn't helping. I have
placed the code in a new blank page and I get the same result??
http://www.skiagrafa.com/swftest.html
It's calling swfobject.js which is on the root along with the html and
the swf
any ideas?

Sorry, I was away for a bit.
1. You are using swfobject.js version 2.1 - this is good
2. Your embed code is from swfobject 1.5 - this is not good
- Your alternative div id must match the title (mymovie) in your embed code, and it does not
- Your alternative content div is in your head - it must be in your body
This is the code you want to use:

Wait a minute, I forgot to remove your old 1.5 code - this is the correct code:

I see. I guess the code samples in the instructions aren't relative to
the current version. Thanks for the code, I have also acheived the
desired result using the generator, which has helped me see the
correct way to add the code. but I will play with your code because I
want to learn this properly. Thanks again for all your help!
