[SWFObject] [SWF Object] FGlash not showing upinFireFoxandNetscape - The Answer!

[Geoff Stearns]

well, ms released their active content mxp file, but you have to run  
an extra command to copy the js file into the folder with your fla file.

it would be nice to automate the whole thing, just publish and it  
drops in all the files you need... but i don't think flash 8 supports  
that.
