    I am  not able to find any Flash embedding code in the page you linked.  Where is this app?

    That works better ("https" matters)   That opens a page where some Flash file is attempting to load something, seemingly failing or just taking longer than I care to wait for it to load. 

     

    For what I can see of the html embedding code, the file is using the AC_RunActiveContent.js approach, however I do not see where you tie in the file in the code... There should be a line somewhere that ties it in in the head section, something like...

     

    <script src="Scripts/AC_RunActiveContent.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

    I can suggest two things...

    1) Republish the html page in Flash so that it creates the proper embedding code and be sure to have the

    AC_RunActiveContent.js file planted on the server and properly targeted in the line that resembles what I show above (resembles, not necessarily identical since there might not be a Scripts folder).

    2) Instea dof that embedding approach try the latest in Flash embedding approaches and use swfobject.js.  You can find it here... http://code.google.com/p/swfobject/ including instructions on how to implement it.

    Beyond those, as I said, I arrived at a page that appears to be trying to load something, but isn't getting there.  It is possible that whatever file it is trying to load is not where it needs to be or there is some other path/targeting error occuring.

    One thing to think about... when you load an swf file into a web page, that web page becomes the targeting basis for any loading that the swf might try to do... meaning the swf has to act as if it is in the same folder as the html page (it can be anywhere, but it has to act like it is in the html page folder).  If it happens that the preloader or the file that the preloader loads is not in the same folder as the html page, there may be a need to adjust any targeting it uses for loading other files.  Any file that appears in the html page needs to target other files as if it is in that html page's folder regardless of where they actually live.
