Ok I am working on a site using EliteCircle from styleshout.com I have setup Slideshow Pro and am using SWFObject to embed the swf in the page. My problem lies in trying to get the div that the SWFObject uses to embed the swf to work the way i want it to...

you can look at the site here - http://sc4sq.org/test and you will see the embedded swf which is sitting inside a div

to be exact. what I'd like is for the text to wrap around the swf embed like it does for the picture which is using a class id. I have tried everything I can think of - adding the div into the css and using the same settings as the picture class, putting the div inside

to no avail... sorry if this is a dumb question but I'm lost, still willing to learn though. Below I posted the full html and css - thanks to anyone who can offer any advice.

In case the code does not post corectly here are links to the files:

so.write("flashcontent");

Note that this is a sterile version of the code - I'm using Expression Engine as a cms and have this template converted over to EE, but thought it would be simpler without all the EE embed tags and such. Again I appreciate any help, thanks.

Validate your code

Validate your code first.
You have p tags ending that were never began, etc.

get the few errors cleaned up, up in the text you want to be next to the swfobject.
give #flashcontent and static width (300px in this case) and then float the #flashcontent left.

the text should wrap around it.

Ok did what you suggested

the html and css are now testing valid I added

#flashcontent { width: 300px; float: left; }

to the css and have


This text is replaced by the Flash movie.


var so = new SWFObject("http://sc4sq.org/layout/fp_slideshow/fp_slideshow.swf", "fp_slideshow", "300", "300", "7", "#336699");
so.write("flashcontent");
this is some dummy text

in the html and it works as you said it would - however if you look there now the text is wrapping around the image but if there is not enough text the header and paragraph are pushed up and wrap around the flash object... I know I'm explaining this like an idiot but if you look http://sc4sq.org/test you will see what I mean. I am not sure if there is a way to solve this besides putting enough text so that the next header and paragraph clear the swf. Again here are the links to the valid code -

http://sc4sq.org/test/html.txt
http://sc4sq.org/test/css.txt

Thank you for you help - it is greatly appreciated. It's probably something really simple, I just can't put my finger on it...
