I'm trying to display a flash movie (.swf) on a CF parsed page. In Firefox
(mozilla) the movie simply appears blank. It has the right dimensions but will
simply not display anything.. In IE the movie won't load and just makes the
whole page hang forever waiting for the movie to load, the rest of the page
loads fine however. I am using a CSS layout but I've tried embedding the movie
in a version of the same page with all the CF removed and it works fine so it
must be something to do with the CF delivery (not the css or html) of the
movie. If anyone has any ideas I'd greatly appreciate them, thanks.

ScottAwesome, I believe this is due to realtive paths in your object tag
and possibly in your flash movie. If you are implementing any sort of
architecture such as mach-ii or fusebox the file may not be able to be found
once the final page renders in the users browser. Try to use a fully qualified
url path to your swf file to see if that helps.
