I'm having two problems. I am very new to flash, and have been trying to do a simple movie with text effects. When I click on the help button in Flash MX my pc hangs and I cannot get to the help section. Is there some type of fix for this?

Second question: I did in fact create a movie (swf) picture. I can view it in IE 6.0, but it does not show up in Netscape Navigator 4.76. Here is the code I used...(Dreamweaver MX)

<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0" width="163" height="112">
<param name="movie" value="aboutlife2.swf">
<param name="quality" value="high"><param name="LOOP" value="false">
<embed src="aboutlife2.swf" width="163" height="112" loop="false" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></embed>
</object>

Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

My operating systems is Windows 2000

There are other ways to get Help systems to not work in the technotes...
searching "help mac" will pull up other documented ways to get it to not
work.
