NEED HELP FAST! CS3 AS3 not playing on server

programming flash
1

I have been having major issues with getting my flash file to play with UFO.js 3.22 on a server.

<div style="width:974px; height:300px;  margin:auto; text-align:center;">

<script type="text/javascript">
var FO = { movie:"/ContactUS/_Swf/en/main_Home.swf", width:"974", height:"300", majorversion:"8", build:"0", xi:"true",allowfullscreen:"true", menu:"false", wmode:"transparent" ,allowscriptaccess:"sameDomain" };          
UFO.create(FO, "flashmedia");
</script>
<asp:DataGrid id="dg" runat="server"></asp:DataGrid>
<div id="flashmedia">

The file plays fine on the server if I run it by itself, but will not play friendly embedded in a page. (When I click within the flash placeholder, I only get the flash menu over the place where the dynamic text boxes would be.)

I am using XML and external images.

I am guessing it has something to do with “setChildIndex” in the code. Not sure though. Any gurus out there that can help?!?! :frowning:

Here is the code:
