This can be a problem if you are using dreamweaver (v3 in my case) to embed
your movies in your HTML...
There's 2 symbols to click on to add shockwave... one for shockwave, one for
flash.
If you click on the shockwave one, you can still add flash, but the code
will genereate HTML something like this:

<object classid="clsid:166B1BCA-3F9C-11CF-8075-444553540000"
codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/director/sw.cab#
version=7,0,2,0" width="550" height="400">
<param name="src" value="enter.swf">
<embed src="enter.swf"
pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/" width="550"
height="400">
</embed>
</object>

Thus prompting your browser to get the latest shockwave plug-in, if you
don't have it installed.

If you choose the flash one, you'll get code like this:

<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.ca
b#version=4,0,2,0" width="550" height="400">
<param name=movie value="enter.swf">
<param name=quality value=high>
<embed src="enter.swf" quality=high
pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_
Version=ShockwaveFlash" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="550"
height="400">
</embed>
</object>

Thus promting the browser to use flash.

I had this problem for a bit, till i figured out I was using the wrong
button to embed my flash movies.....

Hope that helps
