    Flash Site Not Loading From Web?!

    Hi.

    ...please see www.sellitadvertising.com

    For some reason when I publish and place the index and .swf in the correct ftp spot my flash movie won't load.

    The black screen from the index file works but then that is it.

    I had this problem before but used a filename_content.html file instead of the filename.html and this one worked. But now I cannot get studio to publish this
    filename_content.html file.

    Not sure why?

    There was also a filename_alternate.html file that was being published with both of these? This has gone to!!

    I have no idea how I got these extra .html files to publish or why the standard filename.html will not open my movies in any browser?

    Please help!!

    Sam.

    Your reference to where the swf can be found appears to be wrong!

    Code:
    <embed src="file:///C|/FLAFILES/SELLITadvertising.swf".....etc
    I think it should be...

    Code:
    <embed src="SELLITadvertising.swf".....etc
    I'd check my html code once again and make the necessary changes! Of course there's now another problem with the old embed code used in flash due to changes in IE6!

    Check out this link....

    Yep, that's exactly the problem. Your path is still set for your local machine (as you developed the site on your computer).
    Easy fix, just do as the previous post says. Of course making the path exactly like it is on your server.

    Your swf should be embedded like this, if you want people with IE to view your site: http://blog.deconcept.com/flashobject/


    Code:
    <script type="text/javascript" src="flashobject.js"></script>
    		
    <div id="flashcontent">
      You do not have the proper Flash Player Version Installed, please click the Get FlashPlayer Button to begin installation.
    </div>
    
    <script type="text/javascript">
       var fo = new FlashObject("SELLITadvertising.swf", "mymovie", "750", "550", "8", "#FFFFFF");
       fo.addParam("quality", "best");
       fo.addParam("wmode", "transparent");
       fo.addParam("salign", "t");
       fo.addParam("pluginspage", "http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer");
       fo.write("flashcontent");
    </script>

    Cheers. That fixed it!

    But what were those "filename"_alternative.html and "filename_content.html files that were being published before?

    Anyone know?
