Hi,

My website is [www.phillyscene.com. My header and banner ads are in flash. In firefox, and Safari, it keeps prompting me saying- "Please [URL=“http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer”]upgrade your Flash Player.Already have Flash Player? [URL=“http://www.phillyscene.com/?detectflash=false&”]Click here if you have Flash Player 6 installed](http://www.phillyscene.com)." It even happens every time I click on a new page within the site too. I have the the latest Flash Player installed (10). It doesn’t happen in IE though. There is something wrong in the embed\_flash.js scripting. I’ve already tried to change this section; ( this.version = ver || 6; // default to 6) to 10.3 - the latest flash version…that didn’t work. Anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this? Below is the full embed\_flash coding.

Thank you,  
RLM

this.swf = swf;
