swf not showing

Hi everyone,

Why is it that when ever I export an .swf and then click on the swf nothing is visible and no sound works...

however, when I link it to a html file (when I publish it)...it works

Its starting to annoy me that the only way I can view my work is if I publish with html...

any suggestions would be really appreciated...

thanks.

do you have the standalone player installed? Or the most recent one?

Hi,

where can I download the standalone player...I went to macromedia and could not find it....only found one for mac and pocket pc...not for ordinary windows...I have my own copy of flash...but since it didnt install it when I first installed flash MX how can I install it again...

thanks.

Thanks you :)
