I have a simple movie that I import into Flash as a .flv.

On a layer above it, I have some text that appears.

When I publish, the .swf shows the text fine. But when I try to view it through the .html page, the text doesn't appear. Any idea what's going on there? Obviously it must have to do with the HTML code Flash generates when it publishes, but I don't know enough Javascript etc to decode it.

UPDATE: If I put the text in on frame 1 and the put a blank keyframe in at frame 7, the text continues to stay there throughout the duration of the movie. But only when I play the published html file. Not when I play the swf directly. ??? What on earth is going on there?


Also, what is the correct directory location for the .flv on the remote server? Does it need to seen an identical path structure as on the local computer? Or is there some easy way in the .fla to indicate where to look for the .flv?



Thanks in advance!
