_ **POST RESOLVED DUE TO BLIND SPOT** _

Hello … i was wanting to use flash and shadowbox on the same html page … ummm its not working - and i cant understand why … ive tried safari and firefox.

here’s my html code - and the flash will only load if i remove the shadowbox references…

```auto
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=iso-8859-1"/>
<title></title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="shadowbox/shadowbox.css">
<script type="text/javascript" src="shadowbox/shadowbox.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
Shadowbox.init();
<!-- forgot to add </script> -->
</head>
<body>

<object width="550" height="400">
<param name="movie" value="toJS.swf">
<embed src="toJS.swf" width="550" height="400">
</embed>

</object>
</body>
</html>

```

any ideas how to resolve this … ?  
My original intention was to be using swfobject - but that produces problems too … which is why i have resorted to this pure simple test …
