    Use the <embed> tag instead of the <object> tag that is used by Flash by default - most prolly should work ;)

    did you change it ?

    <object data="flash\header.swf?button=1"
    width="728" height="293" type="application/x-shockwave-flash">
    <param name="quality" value="high">
    <param name="menu" value="false">

    <param name="pluginurl" value="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer">
    FAIL (the browser should render some flash content, not this).
    </object>

    "object" tag should be changed to "embed" tag

    Let me know


    Edit: herez something that might help http://www.webmasterworld.com/forum104/406.htm

    I have been away this weekend and just noticed hosting transfer hasn't taken over yet. Just bought this site. But below is what code is and I can preview from my Plesk...no banners showing.

    
    <embed classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase=[URL]http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0[/URL]
    width="728" height="293"><param name="movie" value="Flash/header.swf"><param name="quality" value="high"><param name="menu" value="false">
    <!--[if !IE]> <--><embed data="flash\header.swf?button=1"width="728" height="293" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"><param name="quality"
    value="high"><param name="menu" value="false"><param name="pluginurl" value="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer">
    FAIL (the browser should render some flash content, not this).</embed> <!--> <![endif]> </embed>

    Make another file in the root and try this:

    <object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase=http://download.macromedia.com/pub/s...rsion=6,0,40,0
    width="728" height="293"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" /><param name="movie" value="flash/header.swf"><param name="quality" value="high"><param name="menu" value="false">
    <!--[if !IE]> <--><embed src="flash\header.swf?button=1"width="728" height="293" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"><param name="quality"
    value="high"><param name="menu" value="false"><param name="pluginurl" value="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer">
    FAIL (the browser should render some flash content, not this).</embed> <!--> <![endif]> </object>

    Thanks Max Pain!

    You can ignore PM if you see this. I got it! Just started from scratch and made your changes and all works now
