Ok I have the flash flv setup on my site.. it worked all fine.. I got it all setup.. but I use a javascript that diesables the "Click to activate this control" on my page for my flash menu and flash banner.. Now for some reason the player loads and then quits.. Im wondering if u have a similar script in the javascript u provided.. and it just is making the script appear twice and they cancel eachother out or im not sure.. but Im wondering how to finx this.. Heres my code:

<p>NOTE: Since people like to block youtube at school and some youtube proxys.. Ive proposed this solution (You shouldnt get in trouble because this is not a proxy).. since I believe certain videos should be able to be viewed because their badass, I posted some on my site.. if you block my site I'll make another one.. its not that hard.. so dont even attempt to I will bring it back. Oh yeah and unlike youtube my videos are posted on another site.. so if you block my site I dont even have to upload the videos again.. so bring it!<p>

with all likelyhood some of the scripts in you page are interacting resulting in the malfunction -
you will have to (re)build a copy of the page, adding only one component at the time between testing, to see when what breaks

in the .zip file downloaded from this site is a .html file - it shows a demo implementation using the swfobject.js file for the embedding of the player, it also does the elimination of the "click to activate" thing...

Ok I checked it out when I remove this:

<script language="JScript" type="text/jscript" src="http://scripts.ediy.co.nz/scripts/NoIEActivate.js"></script>

the player shows up.. but the problem is.. I use ssi (server side includes) and if I remove that then the menu, banner, and my sig will all have the annoying "click to activate this control" and I dont want to have that at all.. so I was wondering if there is a javascript to add to the player, (since jeroen gets rid of this somewhere in the code", to just remove the script thats added with the player.. ive already tried using no javascript and just embedding it but someway or another it still interacts.. so but anyways

the swfobject is what removes the "click to activate" in the standard implementation of the player - you might be able to use that for your other objects too, any flash can be embedded using swfobject -
the serverside includes as such should be no problem, but you might have to rethink you page construction...

you can also try using the plain <embed code and thereby avoid the swfobject, as you already have the NoIEActivate -
please checkout the wizard for the <embed code: http://www.jeroenwijering.com/extras/wizard.html

@muhammed - to remove "click to activate" use the swfobject method of embedding !
please see the [url=http://www.jeroenwijering.com/?page=wizard]wizard[/url] and the [url=http://www.jeroenwijering.com/?item=Embedding_Flash]Embedding Flash[/url] pages...
