Flash Button not showing on php page

Report · Jul 07, 2006

Hi Folks,

Hopefully this is a simple problem. I've added a Flash Button via the Insert Media -> Flash Button in DW8. Unfortunately the button does not show up when the php page is loaded up to the server. And yes, I did make sure to upload the button file. When I look at the source code from the server, the flash part looks a little different compared to how it normally looks on a .htm page. Here's what the 'view source' in the browser shows:

But did you upload this file?

Scripts/AC_RunActiveContent.js

David,

I don't know what that file is. Can you elaborate?

Thanks,

Try removing the noscript tag around the object.

No, that's not the answer. I just read the help file regarding the last update of DW. It specifically mentions that it now adds noscript tags to active objects so that the latest version of IE works properly. The same help file mentions the fact that creating active content (or converting old active content) creates new script files that must be uploaded to the server. I did that and now everything works ok.

Chris
