    looky my site!

    hey there thanks for actually spending time to read this thingy. i'm a super html newbie, and i just uploaded an .html flash site i was practicing on lately. I put it up on my website and when i go to preview it loads super fast. but when other people go to the site it has a blank page and it never eventually loads... can you tell me why this is happening? is the same thing happening when you see the site?

    here's the site, thanks so much!

    well, are you using an ftp upload, or are you using a service type upload on the freewebs site?

    If you are using freewebs then you should go into your site builder, or file upload and simply upload the swf file... this way when the html page looks to load the file, it will be on the server with it.

    If you are using an ftp, then simply upload the swf file to your server, and make sure it is in the same file as the html page.

    You may have an option to load the html page, and select upload dependent files also.

    hope this helps

    It didn't work when I tried. It just came up loading constantly but I think the reason is that unless you pay freewebs for superfast downloads it will take about 3 hours to come up on anyones PC. Sorry but to have anyone view your movie I think you'll have to pay some cash. punkhost.com is a good one. £25 for the year. That's who I'm with.

    Ps. get rid of the side ways scroll bar.
    See you at the party richter.

    look at the html code... your path to the flash is messed up...
    PHP Code:

    Hey Poopy Foopy, like admedia said your code is messed up. U have the flash source directing to the file on your computer instead of the sever where it is hosted. That’s the reason you can see it and we can’t.

    <param name="movie" value="file:///C|/Documents%20and%20Settings/Franky/My%20Documents/Test%20Site/grathy%20test.swf">

    it should be more like I would guess.

    <param name="movie" value="grathy%20test.swf">

    Anyway a little advice try to avoid using spaces when naming files for internet (grathy test.swf), u can use something like (grathy_test.swf).
    In the words of Homer the Great! If it's too hard, it's not worth doing!

    Finally found a use for all the forwards I received Inboxity.
