I have a website Whizkid Online and I have a flash header on my website. Every time that flash file is played it adds a core file (ie. "core.1016" or something like that), I dont have that much space on my website and those files are big and I need to know why an .swf file is putting those in there.

Any help would be appreciated.

hi, I looked at your question and I dont know alot about flash, but I looked at your site. It looks great and I see you fixed the header. But I also looked at the source code and found that you can optimize your html file a bit. (this may be where your flash problem was coming from, but im not sure.
This is the code from just the top part of your page

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR...nsitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Whizkid Online</title>
<link href="default.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
</head>

<body>
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="header1"><script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="date.js"></script></div>
<div id="header2"><!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR...nsitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<title>Untitled Document</title>
</script>
</head>

<body>
<object width="800" height="150">
<param name="movie" value="wo.swf">
<embed src="wo.swf" width="800" height="150">
</embed>
</object>

</body>


You have several (open head) (close head) (open body) (close body) tags. You can simply move all your head codes to the head, and body tags to the body. It will speed up the loading time of your webpage. It will also optimize your page for search engines (SEO) and will make it easier from browsers to read your page ensuring that the page is displayed the way you want it to be (you have two settings for your meta tags. 1st you have "charset=utf-8" then later you have "charset=iso-8859-1".). Finally it will save space on your text document, freeing you space on your server.

You can change the code to look like this (again, I only did this for the top part, you can do it for the whole page, I would just copy and page and put the tags where they need to be.

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR...nsitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Whizkid Online</title>
<link href="default.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
</script>
</head>

<body>

<div id="wrapper">
<div id="header1"><script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="date.js"></script></div>
<div id="header2">

<object width="800" height="150">
<param name="movie" value="wo.swf">
<embed src="wo.swf" width="800" height="150">
</embed>
</object>

</body>
</html>


I thought I had a handy tool book marked but I cant find it. Its a website, browser based program, that will optimize the code for you. If you want I will try to find it again for you.

Hope this all helps

Thanks for your help. I was using the code
<?php include "filename.php" ?>
and it was putting in the multiple meta tags because I was forgetting to take out the

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Whizkid Online</title>
<link href="default.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
</head>

<body>
</body>
</html>

in the include files.

I think I fixed it though.
