I added ".swf" to the acceptable files, but my flash file will not load for the life of me!!!

Is there anything else via MODx that I need to adjust?

Forgive me for not following you...
Are you saying adding that "<base href="[(site_url)]"></base>" in the chunk I have created for this? OR in the template?

if this section is in a chunk, then yes ... just try adding <base href="[(site_url)]"></base> to it

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
<title>TL4J - Nick Rowley</title>
<meta name="keywords" content="lawyers" />
<meta name="description" content="Nicholas C. Rowley - California Injury Lawyer - Los Angeles Accident Attorney - San Diego, San Francisco, Ontario, California Trial Lawyers"/>
<link rel="SHORTCUT ICON" href="http://www.tl4j.com/favicon.ico"/>
<link href="/tl4j2010/assets/templates/tl4j/css/tl4j-vC.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
</head>

->

<base href="[(site_url)]"></base>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
<title>TL4J - Nick Rowley</title>
<meta name="keywords" content="lawyers" />
<meta name="description" content="Nicholas C. Rowley - California Injury Lawyer - Los Angeles Accident Attorney - San Diego, San Francisco, Ontario, California Trial Lawyers"/>
<link rel="SHORTCUT ICON" href="http://www.tl4j.com/favicon.ico"/>
<link href="/tl4j2010/assets/templates/tl4j/css/tl4j-vC.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
</head>

...and clear your browser- and MODx cache afterwards

*edit: okay, you already got an absolute path to that file ... worth trying though

would also try to check those validation errors: http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.waskow.us%2Ftl4j2010%2Fnickrowley.html&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0

Thank you. I placed it in there with no luck.
Another silly question... I popped it in there, <base href="http://www.waskow.us/tl4j2010/"></base> And that is output in the source code now.
I just copied and pasted exactly what you had in there, I didn’t have to edit the site name right?

Thanks again.

value="http://www.waskow.us/tl4j2010/assets/images/lawyers/nick/nick-photos.swf

is missinng the closing -> "

if that doesn’t fix it, try calling the object without all those conditional comments to see if the problem is related to those

that’s right ... it’s supposed to do that, fixes path issues ( you can reference relative )

That’s not it either... I copied this code directly from my dev site...

I’m just really scratching my head here!
