Wordpress sidebar / page issue

Hello Warriors

I am having a small issue with a Flash File that I have placed in a widget on the sidebar.

It is a counter and works fine when on the home page of the site, but when you load either a page or click a post to see the entire thing, I get an error message that AC_RunActiveContent.js is needed.

I have that file, the Flash file and the XML file all in the root folder. I have attempted to place a copy of the file in the other Wordpress sub filders, but I am getting the same message.

Any ideas how to solve this?

Thanks.

      The site is MagneticMarketingPlus.com

      The flash works on the home page, but on any other page it does not. As soon as the side bar runs, it stops.

    you can use embed html tag instead of object tag.
    Embed tag didn't require AC_RunActiveContent.js so it will be helpfull for you.

        OK, the Flash file is running, but it can not find the XML file that has some options in it. This is what is now causing the problem.

        Not sure how to fix that.....

    Use your file name at the place of business.swf and height width as well.

    Cheers

    I saw the site. glad that its working on all pages now.
    your flash file is located in root folder. where is your that XML file ? i think try putting it in the root folder.

    the main point is , since the location of XML is configured in the Flash file, so the XML should be placed at that location only (it must be some relative location)

    If you can give me more info about from where you have got this flash, i can find out the required location for the XML file.

      The XML file and the Flash file were both in the root.... This did not work, so what I did was place the XML file in EVERY FOLDER on the server to see which one would work.... Still didn't work....

      So the final solution was to open the FLA file, go into the actionscript and hard code the exact location of the XML file http://domainname.com/file.xml

      This is BAD coding I know as I am a programmer, but after fighting with this $10 ActiveDen Flash file for 3 hours, it was time to just fix the stupid thing and move on.

      Trust me when I say I am very upset about having to solve it this way but nothing else seemed to work and I had to get this thing running for a Launch.
