Hi, I am doing some asp coding for a site that has very limited resources
and no real flash or javascript expert.  Basically, the site allows users to
pick a movie, add their own text and use the movie as a feature on their own
site (through a link).

Even though I have Netscape 4.7 that views other flash sites fine, it just
gets the blank screen on all movies on the site.

There is a long querystring involved in the link to the page below, but I
tried without the querystring and still blank.  Works fine in IE.

here is the code on the html page, thanks for any help on this

<OBJECT classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"

codebase="http://active.macromedia.com/flash2/cabs/swflash.cab#version=4,0,0
,0"
 ID=WebCast WIDTH=100% HEIGHT=100%>
 <PARAM NAME=movie VALUE="Bmw.swf"> <PARAM NAME=loop VALUE=false> <PARAM
NAME=quality VALUE=high> <PARAM NAME=bgcolor VALUE=#000000> <EMBED
src="WebCast" loop=false quality=high bgcolor=#000000  WIDTH=100%
HEIGHT=100% TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash"
PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_
Version=ShockwaveFlash"></EMBED>
</OBJECT>

<!-- the following script block must be inserted into every html that is
published by Flash
and you must change the id and scr in the object and embed files above to
point to WebCast
see above. -->


<script language="JavaScript"> <!--
/* Create a handle to access the movie. */
if (navigator.appName.indexOf("Microsoft") == -1) {
    var Movie = document.WebCast;
  } else {
    var Movie = WebCast;
    }
/* Parse the arguments and load into Flash. */
Args = location.search;
if ((Movie != null) && (Args != '')) {
  Args = Args.substring(1,Args.length);
  a = Args.split('+');
  Args = "";
  for (i = 0; i < a.length; i++) {
    if (i > 0) Args += ' ';
    Args += a[i];
    }
  a = Args.split('&');
  for (i = 0; i < a.length; i++) {
    b = a[i].split('=');
    Movie.SetVariable(unescape(b[0]),unescape(b[1]));
    }
  }
//-->
</script>
