Only one of these methods should be used; it is incorrect to instantiate the object programmatically and drag and drop the component onto the stage.

If this has already been done in your Flash application, please remove either the programmatic instantiation of the object, or remove the component from the stage.
3. The s.movieID variable in your ActionSource code must be set to the same value as the “id” attribute in the
4. If you have SiteCatalyst JavaScript code implemented on the page in which the Flash application is embedded, the s.pageName value in your ActionSource code must be exactly the same as the s.pageName value in the JavaScript code on the page.
