I’m using this method of embedding, detecting and/or providing alternative content for a flash movie, but the movie doesn’t play when flash is installed. The two files “swfobject.js” and “heliLog2\_small.swf” are in the same folder as the html file. Can anyone spot my error? thanks in advance ```auto
