<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I agree with Aran, the problem is with your Flash
files. I find that when simple buttons are inactive, the problem is usually with
focus. Using button symbols along with Components often creates focus issues, as
does using button symbols in conjunction with movieclip event driven
functions such as onRelease, onMouseMove, etc. While flash is waiting for the
event to occur, it does not seem to notice button clicks. You should also be
aware that putting a javascript onClick on a swf generally does not work.
Perhaps it sometimes works (though I don't know the circumstances, and have not
seen it work) but it is not a good idea. Instead, use getURL() within
Flash.</FONT></DIV>

your flash code. As I motioned before, a really good way to see if it is
swfObject or not is to use the standard object/embed insertion method and
see if your files behave as intended then.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
