Tried the tutorial on kirupa [http://www.kirupa.com/developer/flash8/flash\_fix.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/flash8/flash_fix.htm) and all i see where my swf should be is a big beautiful white square. Let me get this straigt:

1. you place the generated code in the code of your document where the swf goes. You don’t actually place the swf in the document, just the code.  
2 do you store the swf, HTML doc (index.html), and js in same directory?

It’s great that there are all these fixes out there, but I think we are stuck with the IE update and Flash’s glory days are over. :-/
