Apparently, my Flash site is not viewable on an IMAC with IE5. I don't know why. I published with the Flash 5 setting.

The results of my HTML check in NetMechanic are below, with the warnings included.

What is the correct code for cross browser compatabilty for Flash 5 and is there a fix to correct the code generated by the Flash publishing templates?

I might be on my own here, but some of these comments seem to be a little anal. For example:

So it's not WC3 approved - big fat hairy deal. <embed> is required by Netscape (I think), that's why it's in the code.

Have you tested this code in a number of browsers? I'd just be interested to see how many browsers it fails in. I have used the Published HTML in quite a few browsers, on both PC and mac, and I haven't encountered any major problems yet.

Hmmm. As far as I remember IE 5.0 for the mac was the most bug-ridden to date. What about creating HTML by placing the SWF in Dreamweaver?

That's actually what did. I have since heard back from NetMechanic that the problem is that IMAC w/ IE5 ships without the plug-in. They are installing the plug-in on their test systems and then I can determine if that was the problem.

Cool - let us know what the outcome is. Your code worked all right out of Dreamweaver, though?
