Question

dreamweaver 8 active content work around for flash with CFM

thanks to the IE update, some of us including myself are still trying to catch up on this topic and the revisions required to make our sites work with flash without the "clicko to activate".

I find the info out there for this issue with CFM sparse...but I have an issue: I used the dreamweaver 8 auto correction (adds the javascript + creates the files) on my CFM pages and it worked fine until the part where the flash embedding code was nested inside of a <CFIF> statement....and nothing appears.

any ideas? I am so-so with code, but not really a programmer so I really need help from more advanced developers on this one. MANY MANY thanks to anyone who knows the issue/solution for this one.

<CFIF Session.MID is 3>
<script type="text/javascript">

Hi Melissa:

I'm not big with CF .. but just making sure .. you DID upload your Scripts
folder, right? That does not FTP as a "dependent file".

If you did that .. there could be a reason the script is not working within
a dynamic conditional tag .. I'll see what I can find out from someone more
into CF than I am.
