SWF causes JSP to hang

[_Rob]

When I include the example <object> tag in my JSP the JSP just spins...I
haven't put a sniffer to work yet but that's my next step...everything is local
(i.e. nothing from a remote site, except for codebase attributes, etc. for MM),
I can manually view the SWF files in IE no problem...

Has anyone seen this before...I have seen this before but can't for the life
of me remember how I fixed it last time...help :)

TIA
Regards,
Rob

Never mind...problem was that I was looking at this too long...it was as simple
as a path problem to the source file...the relative URL was wrong to the SWF
files...

I'll know this going forward but it would seem to me that it would be better
to just report that the SWF could not be found vs. just spinning...then again,
perhaps I don't have an attribute set to allow for that specific interaction.

I don't think the browser actually gives us that ability inside of an
object tag.. probably could be scripted though..
