Web Page Creation Help Please ?
I have a flash gallery (simpleviewer) that I want to insert into a pre-existing web page but I'm struggling to get it to work (totally new to this).
Can anyone help me out if I point them to the 2 pages that need merging ?
Thanks.

if you have two separate html pages and you dont know how to merge them, you could cheat by adding an iframe to the original page that will open a new page in the current page (if that makes any sense)

Thanks, I managed to embed the flash into my page and make the menu overlap in the end. Thanks for the help anyway 
Still having the 'Click to activate and use this control' problem in IE though (Firefox is fine). Tried some of the many solutions floating about but can't get it to work properly
Any ideas ?

Cool, that was the easier way
Follow the destructions here:

I've had a look at the fitit.js file, and it looks safe and fine to include in your site.

Control Activation Problem Description
This message appears because Microsoft has been sued and lost a law suit in the Internet Explorer browser software in regard to embedded controls/applets. In order to not have to pay millions of dollars in licensing fees, Microsoft have changed the behaviour of the Internet Explorer browser to require an activation click on the embedded control before a visitor is allowed to interact with the applet.
Microsoft has applied this patch as a mandatory upgrade for Internet Explorer 6.0 that was released early April 2006 and this affects ActiveX controls, Flash animations and Java applets - a significant and annoying change for users, especially where these elements are used for web site navigation. IE shows a tooltip when you hover over the control that says "Click to activate and use this control". The user then has to click once to activate and then again to press a button or click a link displayed by the Flash or Java applet.

Learn something every day. I'd seen that around on a load of sites for a while, and seen some sites with it not happening. I never got around to looking into it as I dont use flash that often. Interesting reading into it a bit.

Thanks, but doesn't seem to work for me. I'm putting the <script type="text/javascript" src="fixit.js"></script> as the last line in my HTML, is that correct ? . . . and the js file in the same directory as the page.

Thats different to the code mine is using:
. . . so there is no object tag
How can I use your code above but keep my transparency and variable ?
Many thanks
Code:
<embed src="viewer.swf" wmode="transparent" FlashVars="xmlDataPath=imageData.xml" bgcolor=#F80078 WIDTH=892 HEIGHT=600 TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash"></embed>

Hmmm, still struggling to get this working. The site has a 100% frame to mask the url as we're using a different host. Would this perhaps cause a problem ?
