hey rocknbil,

thanks for the reply

The majority of the code for the page was generated for me by a friend of mine. She may have used DW but im not sure. Maybe thats why her code is hard to understand?

anyways I finally got a piece of code to work
it follows here:

<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,0,0" id="tech" width="450" height="367">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
<param name="movie" value="video/motion_graphics_reel_v004.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="bgcolor" value="#000000" /> <embed src="video/motion_graphics_reel_v004.swf" quality="high" name="tech" allowscriptaccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" width="450" height="367"></embed>
</object>

I think you identified what my problem was. The code above I found on another site and pluged in my values and it worked in IE but then it didnt work on FF so I double checked it and I left out my seccond reference of my .swf
so it works now, but you are correct this is not the proper way of handeling this situation. I will check out the tutorial you linked to. Hopefully I can get this into valid HTML eventually. right now I was just concerned with getting the videos up, so I can get a new job.

Thanks again,
An update to come with valid HTML
oh and sorry about the URL
