Patrcia.
It's not that it is looking for a file and can't find it, but that it is
writing multiple things into 1 place. In your youth group page there are
supposed to be 3 separate players, but in IE it is writing the flash content
for all 3 into the 1 place (so you only end up with one working player, as
each overwrites the last)
I don't know anything about EE, but I am assuming you can have some internal
variables for the page on the server side. It would need to be something
like (I am using pseudo-code since I don't know the proper syntax)
// initialised at the beginning of the page render by PHP/EE etc.
// counter created for handling multiple instances of the audio player
{counter=1}
// code to run when rendering an audioplayer tag
// will create a unique DIV id and player ID on each creation
{if audioplayer}
// increment the counter
{counter = counter +1}
// create a unique DIV id
<div id="flashcontent"+{counter}>
This text is replaced by the Flash Audio Player.
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
// give unique id to flash file
var so = new
SWFObject("http://goldbeachyouthgroup.com/player/player.swf",
"audioplayer"+ {counter}, "290", "24", "7");
so.addVariable("soundFile",
"http://goldbeachyouthgroup.com/player/player.swf?file={audioplayer}");
so.addVariable("bg", "0xDDA246");
so.addVariable("slider", "0xAF0000");
so.addVariable("track", "0xFFFFFF");
so.addVariable("border", "0xFFFFFF");
so.addVariable("loader", "0x790022");
so.addParam("wmode", "transparent");
so.addParam("menu", "false");
// write the flash content to the unique DIV
so.write("flashcontent"+{counter});
</script>
{/if}
