  Your flash embed tags do not pass the W3C CSS Standard Validation test at http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/

  Please advise on how to fix this... otherwise, i cannot use the flash rotator...as it is not W3C CSS compliant

  Please Advise or reply with embed code that will work with W3C CSS Validation and not corrupt your Screen Banner Rotator

  Thanks and await your reply.

  1) W3C CSS Validation service enables you to check your CSS code for validity - not HTML or JavaScript code. And all the more it doesn't refer to Flash files. I included index.html and swfobject.js files into the ZIP package just to show customers how they can use SWFObject as one of possible ways of embedding SWF into HTML page. You can use any other method if you like.

  2) The component uses the standard MovieClipLoader method for loading SWF files (as well as JPG, GIF, PNG files). And really, not every SWF file is loaded properly. But as I discovered, this is a common thing for banner rotators. So this is actually not a bug of the Screen Banner Rotator component, but Flash AS2 feature.

  Here are a few recommendations for SWF files you intend to use for loading:
  - They must be compiled to AS2 not AS3 (as the component's ActionScript version is 2.0).
  - Keep the first frame of the content movie without any animations.
  - Add "stop();" in the first frame of an SWF file. The banner will play swf file once the previous transition completes and SWF completely loaded.
  - Also the first frame should contains background or graphic/text elements with the same area dimensions as the width and height of the banner. This is to measure the height and width of the content properly. The size of SWF must be the same as the banner's size (set through XML file).
  - It is better that SWF be compiled to Flash Player 8 or later version.
