[SWFObject] Knock, knock

[Stephen M. Rapp]

I'd like to introduce myself. I'm 56, father of five (10 including my  
wife's. Don't be in shock, they're all gone off now ). I live outside  
Asheville, NC, in a beautiful forest. Moved here a year ago from  
Sundance, Utah. I'm a writer and a passionate Mac hack. I'm  
interested in promoting my wife's bookmaking art and have taken up  
web design, more as a hobby then a career. I do love my computer  
though. Started on a SE in the early 80's System 6, Compuserve,  
Microphone, Word 3 and HyperCard. I fell behind in the early 90's  
with a monastic stint in Sante Fe, and when I re-emerged, it was  
System 7 and color.

I'm not totally newbie. www.chfda.com but nowhere near where I'd like  
to be.

Need a little direction.

My first issue is fixing an Active content fix for a volunteer job I  
did for the Pisgah Forest Institute. http:// 
pisgahforestinstitute.org.whsites.net/WEB/index.html

I jumped through all the hoops I could, to deal with the Flash menu I  
made but it still doesn't show up in Explorer 6 -x. I've read around  
and think there's a coding fix, but I'm no where close to dropping  
snippets willy nilly.

If there's a benevolent tech god out there, who could help me, the  
PFI would be grateful, and I'd appear the hero.

Second, what's the gateway (book or site) to learn these deep Flash  
site codes and the related java.  I've done one site (the mdr one)  
from a Flash template. It took months of trial and many errors and I  
couldn't tell you how I did it if my life counted on it, but I'd like  
to be able to do more from scratch, for fun and in the intrest of a  
couple of multi-media sites I have in mind.

I don't plan to drop in and then disappear, I'd like to hang out and  
grow with the group. I'm willing to do the learning curve struggle,  
on my own, so I'm not the dumb kid in the club.

Am I barking up the right tree?
