For the last three years I am adding flash into HTML like this:

<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,19,0" width="900" height="150" title="baner">
<param name="movie" value="banner.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
<embed src="banner.swf" quality="high" wmode="transparent" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="900" height="150"></embed>
</object>

But lately some people complained a bit about viewing mine pages in IE. I am not using IE at all, and the one that I have at home (not updated) is working just fine.
The problem is that once you open the page with embeded flash the way I have, all the flash movies in the site are not active once the page is opened, you have to click it once on them.
So please could anyone give me an advice how should I embed flash into html the correct way ?
Thank you a lot

OOOOH thanks a lot, now its really great. Milion kisses to you, my savior :)
Btw will this Wizard be up for a couple of years or should I learn how to embed it with javascript by myslef ?
Anyway thanks, going to finish the rest of the page, before they will tear my limbs off :)

It should be. As long as I remain with my current ISP, it will be. If I change ISP's and cannot create a forwarding address for pages like that which I consider essential, I will make it known in these forums where to find the replacement pages.

You could PM ddadmin and ask him to adopt it. I did submit it here:

But it has yet to be accepted.
