The display of an 'alt' attribute as a tooltip is not a standardized
operation and should not be relied upon as such. Furthermore, 'alt' is not
a valid attribute for either "embed" (which itself is not a valid element)
or "object".

If you're worried about your stuff getting stolen, don't put it online. It
is "stolen" as soon as the visitor views it.

Thanks both for trying - i dont have access to the code, just an adserver so
all i am
able to do is edit the flash image. i just want to embed it with a copyright
text so when
you mouse over it shows up, i have tried editing the properties but it
doesnt show up
thanks anyway
