[FONT=Arial][FONT=Arial]I am attempting to use the express install option in the swf object discussed [here](http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/articles/swfobject.html)[/FONT][/FONT]

[FONT=Arial][FONT=Arial]I have used this to embed flash content to overcome the click to activate issue, but so far, I have been unable to get the express install option to work.[/FONT][/FONT]

[FONT=Arial][FONT=Arial]I removed flash player using the “uninstall\_flash\_player.exe” and now the embedded flash content doesn’t show up, I get the content between the “[/FONT][FONT=Arial]\<div id=“flashcontent”\>[/FONT][FONT=Arial] _This text is replaced by the Flash content._ \</div\>” as expected but express install doesn’t run.[/FONT][/FONT]

[FONT=Arial][FONT=Arial]I have expressinstall.as and swfobject.js in the root folder.[/FONT][/FONT]

[FONT=Arial][FONT=Arial]This is the code from the html page:[/FONT][/FONT]

[FONT=Arial][FONT=Arial]\<script type=“text/javascript” src=“swfobject.js”\>\</script\>[/FONT][/FONT]  
[FONT=Arial][FONT=Arial]\<div id=“flashcontent”\>This text is replaced by the Flash content.\</div\>[/FONT][/FONT]  
[FONT=Arial][FONT=Arial]\<script type=“text/javascript”\>[/FONT][/FONT]  
[FONT=Arial][FONT=Arial]var so = new SWFObject(“rolloverBG.swf”, “mymovie”, “700”, “200”, “7”, “#bdbdbd”); [/FONT][/FONT]  
[FONT=Arial][FONT=Arial]so.addParam(“useExpressInstall”, “true”);[/FONT][/FONT]  
[FONT=Arial][FONT=Arial]so.write(“flashcontent”);[/FONT][/FONT]  
[FONT=Arial][FONT=Arial]\</script\>[/FONT][/FONT]

[FONT=Arial][FONT=Arial]In the fla file, the first frame has the #include “expressinstall.as” code in place.[/FONT][/FONT]

[FONT=Arial][FONT=Arial]I think I have all the parts in place and deployed appropriately, I would appreciate any assistance.[/FONT][/FONT]

[FONT=Arial][FONT=Arial]The test page I am using is [here](http://www.nwanetworks.com/mycompswork/index1.html)[/FONT][/FONT]
