Thanks Samuel,

I've tried uploading it and that's where I'm having problems with the block. What source code for the <object> and actionscript are you using to avoid this?

Hmm, I normally just test movies using the same <Object> code as supplied by Adobe, by publishing the movie. (Publish-settings will give you the opportunity to add what types of files you wish to be created when you publish, make sure to check .html here).

This is what I'm using:

      <object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
      codebase="http://active.macromedia.com/flash2/cabs/swflash.cab#version=4,0,0,0"
      id="mysiteSWF"
width="560"
height="250">
      <param name="movie"
value="http://www.mysite.com/560x250.swf">
      <param name="FlashVars"
value="myVar=http://www.mysite.com/" />
      <param name="quality" value="high">
      <param name="bgcolor" value="white">
      <embed
src="http://www.mysite.com/560x250.swf"
width="560"
height="250"
      quality="high" bgcolor="white"
      type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
      pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash">
      </object>

No luck with this one either :-(

getURL( myVar, "_blank" );

This action script is still getting blocked. Any other suggestions?
