    Yea I've restarted it a few times. Still tells me I need the latest version, so unless there's a secret version somewhere, I'm stumped.

    Try embedding the movie with swf object since this is considered the best way of placing flash in a web page: swfobject - SWFObject is an easy-to-use and standards-friendly method to embed Flash content, which utilizes one small JavaScript file - Google Project Hosting

    You can download the demo files from there to see how they have embedded an example swf file and basically replace it with your flash file making sure to change the attributes in the html file such as width, height and flash version to match your flash file. You should publish your swf file to the lowest player that you can get away with. Unless you are using lots of new features you should be able to get away with publishing for flash player 9. The vast majority of people who have flash have flash player 10, so if you publish yours for flash player 9 and specify flash player 9 in your html (using swf object) your users shouldn't get any messages saying to upgrade your player since they will be using a newer version than is required anyway, unless in rare cases that have flash player 8 or older installed.

    If this is too much effort, just go into your flash publish settings and select 'html' as well as 'swf'. Flash will then generate the html file for you, although it might still require some tweaks depending on if you want it centred etc. You might be able to customise some of this from the html tab in publish settings. Ideally if you can do it with swfobject it would be better.

    Well I've tried the 2nd idea you suggested Rich, but it didn't work.
    The 1st idea - SWFOBJECT - but once its downloaded I've no idea what I'm doing with it. I am a web beginner so no idea what I'm looking for.

    what browser are you using, its well known that changes to swf files done get recognized by browsers, have google around as each browser has different ways of refreshing swf files

    ctrl f5 does not always work..
