    Problem adding Flash content: IE replicates tags and FF hangs


    Hello,
    I want to add Flash movie to my document:
    with IE
    I cancel the page (demo table with smiling girl and dunes), and insert flash, I find:
    <embed pluginspage=http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer src=/uploads/donenet.swf width=200 height=200 type=application/x-shockwave-flash bgcolor="" quality="high"></embed>
    PROBLEM 1:
    how can I get the standard <object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-1P1cf-96b8-444553540000" etc etc etc ?

    with FireFox1.5:
    I cancel the page (demo table with smiling girl and dunes), and try to insert flash, but the dialog box does not close when I press insert.
    I reload the page and I don't cancel the page, now the dialog closes, and in HTML mode I find the embed like in IE, but can't see the flash in preview.
    PROBLEM 2:
    why I can't add flash to an empty page with FF1.5?
    PROBLEM 3: same as 1, I can't find the <OBJECT classid...
     

    To solve part of the problem, I created a template:

    <object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,0,0" width="98%" height="600" id="titolo2" align="top">
    <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
    <param name="movie" value="images/insertflashnamehere.swf" />
    <param name="quality" value="best" />
    <param name="salign" value="lt" />
    <param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff" />
    <param name="wmode" value="transparent">
    <embed src="images/insertflashnamehere.swf" quality="best" bgcolor="#ffffff" width="98%" height="600" name="titolo2" align="top" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" />
    </object>
    where my user is supposed to change the insertflashnamehere.swf.
    PROBLEM 4
    with IE: if I switch back and forth a few times from design and HTML mode, CE adds everytime more params, doubling the length of the page EACH time.
    with FF1.5: it hangs the browser, says "Unresponsive script"
    Now, PROBLEM 4 is definetely the most serious for me at the moment, can you look at it?
    Best,
    Mattia
