    HTML with embedded Flash (.swf) problems

    I am building a website that just has a little flash animation embedded into it. The problem is that my .swf isn't displaying...I can place it on my drive and it is fine, but on the server it doesn't work. It displays an inactive grey box with inactive scroll bars. Any ideas? Also, are my codebase/pluginspage attributes correct? I've attached a pic of how the page is displaying. Thanks in advance...Here's how i have it embedded:

    <object classid="clsid27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash" width="75" height="73">
    <param name="movie" value="AAFCS_a.swf">
    <param name="quality" value="high">
    <param name="LOOP" value="true">
    <embed src="AAFCS_a.swf" width="75" height="73" loop="true" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash">
    </embed>
    </object>

    maybe AAFCS_a.swf is confusing the script. Change your file name.

    Is the SWF uploaded into the same directory as your HTML?

    make sure your path is right, sometimes (esp. in dynamic pages with asp or php )the swf must be in another directory....
