Matt,
Thanks for your reply to my message.
I tried using my plan and it seems to be working, since only one movie is
loaded into the browser using the <object> tag. Entering the site brings up
another window and that movie doesn't use the object tag at all.
I thought about asking users to turn off the ActiveX control, but I don't
want to have to require users to change browser settings just for my site.
I'm afraid that may deter traffic from the site.
You can check it out at http://www.microflex.com. If you experience any
problems, please let me know!!!
Again, thanks.

I don't think this will work, as if the flash movie is to be played with
the ActiveX component, the <object> tags must be present. If you dump
all but the first set of <object> tags, you'll get the first movie playing
with ActiveX, then the second movie looking around for the plug-in
to use with the <embed> tags.
For maximum compatibility I'd advise keeping both sets of tags, but
perhaps make a note that IE/Mac browsers should disable ActiveX
for best results...
