My first problem :S

I have 8 swf files named movie1 to movie8, and this code, but it doesn't seem to be working.

Can anyone help me with this?

[Rakuli]

In your functions movie1() - movie8()

It looks like you have carriage returns in your document.write() data, you would need to remove all these even if they are in " quotes ".

It also helps to escape forward slashes in Javascript HTML output. eg <br \/>

All else seems okay though.

yea had word wrap on in notepad! cheers works fine now, just need to link them all up.

I will post my code after, for future amateurs like me

thanks again
