Question cannot get flash movie to show up!! please help if you can

I am using Flash CS3 on Windows and using Dreamweaver CS3 to embed my flash content. I have a Flash banner/animation on my main index.html page that I cannot get to show up. I have provided all relative info/files below.

It works find on my local hard drive, but when I upload it (from several different FTP clients) it won't show up on several different computers browsers. It's not my FTP, other items are uploading fine, and I don't think it is browser issues.

I checked the source code of the uploaded site against my Dreamweaver code, and it seems to be the same. So I can't understand what's going on.

I tried resaving the file under a new name. The weird part is, I embedded a .swf file initially and it worked. I was asked to make edits to the movie, and I renamed it, replaced old files and now it won't work. I made sure and tried to check all the links to make sure it wasn't trying to link back to my old document, resaved my index.html page etc. Any help is really greatly appreciated!!! I cannot figure this thing out!

Here is my flash animation cs3 document for download from Dropbox.

Here is my Source Code for the Flash area of my page.
The page is also at: http://studentpages.scad.edu/~sdixon20/index.html

When it works on your local machine but not from the server, it's usually 1 of 2 things... most common is a wrong path (from the .swf back down to any files it needs to run correctly). Addresses must be relative to the Web page location that the .swf is embedded on.
Second common problem is that not all the files get uploaded. For example, in your code it says
Code:
<script src="Scripts/AC_RunActiveContent.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
but if I try to find and directly download that file,
http://studentpages.scad.edu/~sdixon...tiveContent.js
it's an error message "File Not Found". Checking the cache shows same thing.
Check those 2 things.
Best wishes,
EfV
