    I am a newbie with this, but here is my story. I am using a Joomla Rocket theme template colormatic. I uploaded your expressinstall.swf e to that template. As best as I could understand instrutions, I was to post this script: <script type="text/javascript">
    var so = new SWFObject("movie.swf", "mymovie", "200", "100", "8", "#336699");
    so.useExpressInstall('expressinstall.swf');
    so.write("flashcontent");
    </script> in the head section of my index.html
    But I do not understand by what you mean when you say: useExpressInstall method to specify the path to your expressinstall.swf.
    Could someone please explain.

    only the javascript include goes in the <head>

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

    The rest of the code (as you have above) goes somewhere within the <body> of your page.

    In regards to expressinstall.swf, you need to tell SWFObject where to find the expressinstall.swf file.
    e.g. - If it is located in the "swf folder off of the root of your site, then specify the path as: so.useExpressInstall('swf/expressinstall.swf');

    It is just a path like any other image / css / js resource that needs to be loaded by the page.
