Hello Cameron,
This was an older issue that has been fixed in the current version of the extension. Please download the package again and reinstall.
Regards,
Andrei

Hello again,
Version 1.1.2 is the latest version. I didn't knew what version you have downloaded, sorry.
Maybe that bug reappeared . Please send us a link to the page or a copy at support at extendstudio.com.
Thanks,
Andrei Rinciog

Hello again,
It looks like there is a problem with AC_RunActiveContent.js. We will take a look at that file and try to fix any incompatibilities.
However, you could use a different way to embed your swf files using the "swfobject" javascript. If you have Dreamweaver CS 4, just drag and drop a swf in a page (design view) and Dreamweaver will insert the code by default. If you don't have DW CS 4, you can follow "How to embed Flash Player content using SWFObject static publishing" section from this page: http://code.google.com/p/swfobject/wiki/documentation

Andrei Rinciog

Hi again,
I wanted to update you on where we are at following your email with suggested workarounds yesterday.
Firstly im grateful for your suggestions regarding the options for inserting the movie and im aware the embed method i had inherited was flawed to a degree.
Having tried the drag and drop method the page wouldnt display at all and the link you suggested contained info that was beyond a beginner like myself.
However i have through trial and error found a different way to embed the movie which doesnt conflict with the flexipanels.
This does leave me with 1 small issue though which i hoped you could advise me on.
Now, in Firefox the pages mentioned in the links below work fine other than a gap between the movies and the panels - any suggestions ?
http://www.britanniamotors.net/pxtoclear.html
http://www.britanniamotors.net/fiatpunto1_2.html
This only occurs in Firefox on pages with the Flexipanels so that rules out any page breaks or anything else i can think of.
Thanks again in advance.
ps - on a page like the 1 where i have multi panels is there no way to do a copy and paste rather than insert them all individually ?
I understand there may be an issue with id's as each panel require's its own i think.

Quick Update,
This appears to be an issue with Firefox and the embed method used and isnt related to Flexipanels having done more testing.

Hello again,
I think that you can fix this by creating two wrappers. One for the top Flash movie and one for the bottom content. On the second div add a style attribute and set margin-top to be negative.I think "-5px" it's ok.
Regards,
Andrei

Hi Andrei,

thanks again

Hi,
Well, first you need to create the div wrappers. So, place a <div> tag bellow the <body> tag and then close it after the </object> tag. After you close that first div, place a new <div> exactly under it. This second div wrapper you need to close it after you close the main table.
Now that you have created the two wrapper, go to the second one and add the style attribute. The code looks like this: "<div style="margin-top:-5px;">
Tell me if you need more help.
Regards,
Andrei Rinciog

Thanks Andrei,
I followed your advice and inserted the div's as suggested but not sure how to add the style attribute you mention.
I take it you can check from viewing source if the div's are correct ?
Very impressed with the level of support by the way.
Its a big plus for us dummies.

Hello again,
Just checked your pages and I saw that you haven't made the changes yet. Here's how your page should look:
<body>
<div>
<object>..</object>
</div>
<div style="margin-top:-5px;">
content
</div>
</body>
Regards,
Andrei Rinciog
