So, i followed Kirupa’s guide to removing the ‘activate flash object’ or whatever, but when i view the page in IE, the flash doesn’t show up _at all_

it does show up in firefox however

[http://timandmonicagill.com](http://timandmonicagill.com)

i added

```auto
<script type="text/javascript" src="flashobject.js"></script>

<script type="text/javascript">

<div id="flashcontent" style="width: 750px; height: 263px"></div>

var fo = new FlashObject("http://sephiroth.blissdev.com/timnav.swf", "animationName", "366", "86", "8", "#FFFFFF");
fo.addParam("allowScriptAccess", "sameDomain");
fo.addParam("quality", "high");
fo.addParam("scale", "noscale");
fo.addParam("loop", "false");
fo.write("flashcontent");
</script>

```

and uploaded the javascript

so what am i doing wrong?
