i have a flash banner that displays in the header, that sometimes (poof) disappears.

to my knowledge, it seems to happen randomly (nothing that i am 'doing' seems to warrant it).

it fixes itself when i open the flash content item, and reload.

i have 3 other flash items that this doesn't happen to. the only different is that i have the 'sections' module, and the front page has a different css file than the inner pages. it's not a css issue as all flash movies are configured the same in both. i do use the same flash movie on the front page in a few of the inner pages, however. this is the only thing i can think of.

any ideas?

Hi!

I had the same problem when my drupal site's root directory was http://www.mysite.com/drupal/. Flash used to work only on renamed url aliases. I solved this problem by uploading .swf file to the root directory of my main site (here: http://www.mysite.com/header.swf) and renamed src in embed code to:

src="/header.swf"

You can also keep your .swf file in the same place where it is now and only write the full path to it like this:

src="/drupal/flash/header.swf"

Hope this helps.
