Tony,
The error you are 'not seeing' is GoLive putting up an alert saying
"Cannot create object." You can see this by opening your html page in
GoLive and viewing initially in the Layout mode. Check GoLive's preference
under "General" and verify that "Default Mode" is set to "Layout" . Once you
go from Layout to Source mode and back, or start in source mode, you will
never see the text inside the Alert dialog.
The issue is that GoLive 5 has no knowledge of QuickTime's classid number
and therefore it's not sure how to handle the QuickTime Object Syntax.
Remove the classid attribute from the <object> tag, and try to switch
between modes.
If you drag the "Flash" Plug-in Object from the Objects palette window to
your html page you will notice that under the 'Basic' tab of the inspector
window there is a field for Class with a pull down menu list for "Flash,
Shockwave, Real Video, Unknown" Unfortunately choosing unknown does not
solve the problem, because if you choose this option you will get the same
"Cannot create object" alert dialog.
So GoLive needs a way able to recognize the new QuickTime classid and set up
the CodeBase attribute in the <Object> syntax in the same manner that it
does now for Flash.
Now to work around your lock up. The alter dialog is active, although you
can not see it's message. And so if you mouse click in the lower right
region of the dialog you will be able to click the "OK" button and your html
page will switch to Layout mode successfully.
Unfortunately you will need to live with this work around till GoLive can be
updated with the QuickTime Classid info. The alert is annoying but harmless,
it does not modify or delete any of your html code.
Hope that helps.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
