\<script type=“text/javascript” src=“flashobject.js”\>\</script\>\<div id=“flash1” style=“width: 300px; height: 100px”\>\</div\>  
\<script type=“text/javascript”\>  
var fo = new FlashObject(“flash/triad-media-logo-uk.swf”, “cheshire web designer”, “300”, “100”, “8”, “#FFFFFF”);  
fo.addParam(“allowScriptAccess”, “always”);  
fo.addParam(“quality”, “high”);  
fo.addParam(“scale”, “noscale”);  
fo.addParam(“loop”, “true”);

There’s no reason why you can’t load external movies simply because you’ve switched to using flashObject. It’s more likely that the paths to your external files are wrong in the parent SWF or that you’re trying to view it in a later version of the player. This link might help:

You might also want to consider using SWFObject as it’s more up-to-date than flashObject:

> **[swfobject/swfobject](https://github.com/swfobject/swfobject)**
>
> swfobject - An open source Javascript framework for detecting the Adobe Flash Player plugin and embedding Flash (swf) files.
