Adding Flash

[joebroke]

I guess I'm new to flash or at least getting to work on my site. When preview my html document localy it works fine. When I uploaded my page and try to view it, all I get is a page with the correct background color but no flash. I have no clue what I'm doing. I would apprciate any help... Thank s a lot!!!

Do you have a preloader on the flash document? Maybe it isn't loaded. If your hosting can manage it, post a link to the file here and we'll take a look..

there is the link. Thanks for your help.. I don't see anything regarding preloaders.. but that doesn't mean it's not there. I'm useing a flash editor named "SWiSHmax". I'm also using Front Page for the rest of my html. SWiSHmax allows you to export your flash into a HTML/SWF. Basicly it exports it into an HTML. So there it is.. Thank you again..

Hey joebroke,

I think I got it. Take a look at the code on your webpage:

<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
  codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=4,0,2,0"
  id="test" width="400" height="300">
  <param name="movie" value="test.swf">
  <param name="quality" value="high">
  <param name="bgcolor" value="#000000">
    <embed name="test" src="test.swf"
     quality="high" bgcolor="#000000" swLiveConnect="true"
     width="400" height="300"
     type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
     pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"></embed>
</object>

According to this, the flash document the HTML page will show is called "test.swf," so I tried going straight to the flash document:

http://www.verbumsatsapienti.com/joe/test.swf

As you can see, you haven't uploaded the flash file in the first place. When you exported your file from "SwishMAX" you should have got two files, a HTML and a SWF file. You must upload both of these in order for everything to work. So just upload "test.swf" to the directory and try it again. It should all work out fine!

Hope that helps.
