embedding a swf into an html page with dreamweaver.

[mandoza]

Hiya,

I haven't used flash in a little while and on the CS3 version now.
I have noticed some changes with past sites with changing upgrades with browsers. I was just wondering if there is a clean simple solution to have a swf file embedded into an html page without the IE "box", and the ability to prompt for the flash install if the viewer doesn't have it.... And most importantly I am presently just trying to insert a simple text effect and It won't play?

At his moment I am using dreamweaver to insert the swf file ( the very simple text effect ) to an html based site.

Insert > media> then flash >

I have made sure that this extra file is included in the site folder "AC_RunActiveContent".... I am at a bit of a loss, are there new tricks I should have up my sleeve to enable this to work??

So appreciate your time looking at this
Thanks, M

Thanks so much! It ended up being extra code that dreamweaver put in to deal with ie browsers. I just ended up erasing it on all the pages and voila! I did use your link however to solve the white gap that would appear under flash files

Many many thanks, I appreciate your response!!
