 * Hi,
 * I have a problem embedding a flash movie in my sidebar. The problem is that the
   movie isn’t showing. It is loaded but just won’t show. I’ve tested it by putting
   the exact same code in a html file, that worked fine. But when I put it in sidebar.
   php it doesn’t work anymore.
 * Ive tried changing the publish settings and after changing it to AS3 (instead
   of AS2 which it was made in) I do get something. Of course not working as it 
   should since the banner is in AS2, but at least it shows something.
 * Does anyone have an idea how I can solve this ?

 * does that look the same to you? when you have properly formatted the code necessary
   to display flash objects, im guessing it’ll show up.
