I have a swf embedded in a coldfusion (cfm) page. I generate the “detect flash version” on the html tab of the publish settings and I post it to the internet and test - works as expected. I copy the generated code and paste it into my cfm page and it no longer works. Here is the part of the code the html has generated:

\<script language=“JavaScript” type=“text/javascript”\>  
\<!–  
var hasRightVersion = DetectFlashVer(requiredMajorVersion, requiredMinorVersion, requiredRevision);  
if(hasRightVersion) { // if we’ve detected an acceptable version  
var oeTags = ‘\<object classid=“clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000”’  
+ ‘width=“980” height=“400”’  
+ ‘codebase=“[http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab"\>’](http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab%22%3E')  
+ '\<param name=“movie” value=”…/…/category/categor001/lect001001/swf/lect001001.swf" /\>\<param name=“quality” value=“high” /\>\<param name=“bgcolor” value="#ffffff" /\>’  
+ '\<embed src="…/…/category/categor001/lect001001/swf/lect001001.swf" quality=“high” bgcolor="#ffffff" ’  
+ ‘width=“980” height=“400” name=“lect001001” align=“middle”’  
+ ‘play=“true”’  
+ ‘loop=“false”’  
+ ‘quality=“high”’  
+ ‘allowScriptAccess=“sameDomain”’  
+ ‘type=“application/x-shockwave-flash”’  
+ 'pluginspage="[http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"\>’](http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer%22%3E')  
+ ‘\</embed\>’  
+ ‘\</object\>’;  
document.write(oeTags);

\<div align=“center”\>  
\<object classid=“clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000” codebase=“[http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,19,0](http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,19,0)” width=“980” height=“400” align=“middle”\>  
\<param name=“movie” value="…/…/category/categor001/lect001001/swf/lect001001.swf" /\> \<!–LOCATION–\>  
\<param name=“quality” value=“high” /\>  
\<embed src="…/…/category/categor001/lect001001/swf/lect001001.swf" width=“980” height=“400” align=“middle” quality=“high” pluginspage=“[http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer](http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer)” type=“application/x-shockwave-flash”\>\</embed\> \<!–LOCATION–\>  
\</object\>  
\</div\>  
// insert non-flash content  
}  
// --\>  
\</script\>

I switch out the object tag above with the following (my code):

\<div align=“center”\>  
\<object classid=“clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000” codebase=“[http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,19,0](http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,19,0)” width=“980” height=“400” align=“middle”\>  
\<param name=“movie” value=“lect001001.swf” /\> \<!–LOCATION–\>  
\<param name=“quality” value=“high” /\>  
\<embed src=“lect001001.swf” width=“980” height=“400” align=“middle” quality=“high” pluginspage=“[http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer](http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer)” type=“application/x-shockwave-flash”\>\</embed\> \<!–LOCATION–\>  
\</object\>  
\</div\>

My swf plays but it no longer detects for the flash player. I have been testing on another computer. Anyways to work around this? I can supply the full html generated code if needed.  
Thanks
