Hi, Lena:

From what I can gather, this is a result of some new ie and/or windows update. As far as I know, there’s nothing you can do to fix flash files from other sites, but if you click [[U][COLOR=red]here[/COLOR][/U]](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/flash8/flash_fix.htm), you can read about how to fix this problem for your flash files.

Hope this helps

It’s probably a player issue. In the tutorial the code that is generated is for flash 8 player.  
Look in this line

```auto
var fo = new FlashObject("http://www.kirupa.com/swf/headerv2b.swf", "animationName", "765", "58", "8", "#FFFFFF");

```

change the “8” (player8) to the version you want.
