I have built a website

utilizing Dreamweaver and Flash. This page:

http://www.tonystubbs.com/print.html

has a link under "print" called "catalog". It is supposed to load a swf file when clicked. It works when I view it in Flash Player, but when I import it into Dreamweaver and post it, it isn't working.

It is likely an issue with file location/targeting since you appear to be loading the swf into the html page from a separate folder.  When you do that, any files that the swf file loads need to be targeted as if that swf is in the same folder as the html file.  So if your other swf is also in the images folder, then when you specify to load it in the Flash file you need to include the images folder in the path.
