Flash object nullified within index.php [Archive]

My index.php uses a <div> with id="iframe" for navigation purposes and works fine, except for a particular sub-page. This sub-page is also php and contains some flash within a script. The page works fine stand-alone, but the flash does not appear when the this sub-page is invoked by the calling index.php. I hope that I have made my dilemma clear and would greatly appreciate any pointers, hints, etc...

Thanx!:confused:

Here are the particulars:

excerpt from index.php:

<div id="iframe" style="width: 500px; height: 420px"></div>

<div id="sidebar" style="width: 100px; height: 386px">
<div id="menu">
<ul>
<li><a id="menuhome" class="active" href="javascript:ajaxpage('portal/home.html', 'iframe');">Home</a></li>
<li><a id="menuabout" href="javascript:ajaxpage('portal/about.html', 'iframe');">About</a></li>
<li><a id="menunews" href="javascript:ajaxpage('news/news.php', 'iframe');">News</a></li>
<li><a id="menulinks" href="javascript:ajaxpage('portal/links.html', 'iframe');">Links</a></li>
<li><a id="menublog" href="javascript:ajaxpage('portal/blog.html', 'iframe');">Blog</a></li>
<li><a id="menutoc" href="javascript:ajaxpage('portal/toc.html', 'iframe');">Site Map</a></li>
<li><a id="menucontact" href="javascript:ajaxpage('portal/contact.html', 'iframe');">Contact</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>

body of sub-page:

<body id="news">

<table border="0" width="300" id="main" align="left" style="width: 400px">
<tr>
<td>
<p style="text-align: left">
<b><font size="3">Top Stories</font></b></p>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><p align="left" style="text-align: left">

<script src="ns1js.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<noscript><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0" width="450" height="250" id="newsscroll2" align="middle"><param name="movie" value="ns1flashns.swf" /><param name="quality" value="high" /><param name="scale" value="noscale" /><param name="wmode" value="opaque" /><param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff" /><PARAM NAME=menu VALUE=false /><param name="salign" value="lt" /> <param name="FlashVars" VALUE="xml_name=ns1data.xml" /></object></noscript>

</p>
</td>
</tr>
</table>

</body>

The problem may be a CSS one and it may entail assigning an id or class to the script command line. Nevertheless; thank you for checking it out! The more eyes, the better. Also, I've tried other scripts within the linked page that don't function properly either. The site is at: http://stephendowell.net , and I will clean up the code once I get to the next "plateau", which is to apply some content.
Thanks again,
Steve D.
