simple little flash button requires visitors to download update?
Hello, I'm new to this site and appreciate any help I can get.
I'm using dreamweaver and I put a simple little flash button in and I think no big deal, right? On visiting the site, I'm prompted to download shockwave flash 8.5.1 just to see a stupid little button. Has anyone found the work around? Here's the dreamweaver generated code when you add the flash button, in red are the parts I've either tweaked (tried lowering the version to 4,0,0,0) or removed. Neither approach prevented this attempted hijacking of my visitors.
<object classid="clsid:166B1BCA-3F9C-11CF-8075-444553540000"
codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/director/sw.cab#version=8,5,0,0" width="105" height="21">
<param name="src" value="about.swf"><param name="BGCOLOR" value="#000000">
<embed src="about.swf" width="105" height="21" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/" bgcolor="#000000"></embed>
</object>

Question answered, I was adding my little flash as shockwave instead of flash. In my newbie head, the terms were interchangable, now I know.
