For one thing, you can NOT embed a flash movie inside a heading tag. That is simply improper markup.

Second, you need to dump the <embed> tag completely as it will cause IE users problems and they will never see your movies until they click twice to 'activate' the movie. There are several methods listed in a stickie at the top of this forum.

You have nothing in your code, not even a table, that would position your movies differently. I suggest you learn a bit more HTML and some CSS to go along with it.

I get what you're saying, and I removed the EMBED tags, but it still says click to activate and use this control. Also, could you say how to do what I want to do? I know the Table HTML and I tried that, but it didn't do what I wanted it to. I want the text to come up to the top of of the page and not start after the flash nav bar, like it is doing now. A code or some instructions would be much appreciated. -Tim

Unfortunately, just removing the <embed> isn't going to work. You have to follow thru with one of the other methods that are in that thread I mentioned.

Your page is now completely orange with code drivel where your flash movie should be.

This is just NOT proper markup. If you want a REAL list you must code it the right way.
<ul>
<li>item</li>
<li>item</li>
<li>item</li>
</ul>

Do NOT use <font> tags, use the CSS to style your text. Do not use <br>'s all over,
put your text inside proper <p></p> (paragraph) tags and then control spacing between
paragraphs in your CSS.

A font named 'inkbleed' is not going to display on user's machines unless they have that specific
font installed on their machines. I have literally thousands of fonts, and even I don't have that one. Use standard
fonts.

The position:absolute for the navigation - which isn't really there right now - is not necessary.
Learn how to use floats for your layouts: http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=FloatLayouts

You might want to start with a simple template:
http://www.openwebdesign.org/

Then you can modify that to suit your needs and learn at the same time.

Your existing page is just lacking in any structure at all.
