I have situation where i have a flash page behind a secure https:// url
The problem i have is that the
codeBase ="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=5,0,0,0"

is pointing to an http:// NON SECURE url therefore causing the user to get the traditional "Secure Non-secure" items alert box.
The same is true if the following reads
pluginspace ="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"

If i could only change these 2 url references to read [macromedia.com...] or
codeBase ="https://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=5,0,0,0"

I'd like to ask the forum to suggest a work - a - round i could use to ensure that a user accessing a flash url on https is able to retrieve the latest flash player.

Any examples would be GREAT

Try [active.macromedia.com...] . . . . the docs are on the MM site.

That is, if you want to use that method of presenting your Flash.

Which won't validate.

Anyone who ever even dabbles in Flash really REALLY needs to read THIS ARTICLE [macromedia.com]. It cuts your Flash code down to a few short lines, works in all browsers, and VALIDATES. And you don't use codebase at all. Takes about ten minutes to figure out, and once you have it you can set it up in minutes.

Muchas Gracias senor tedster! :-)
