Swf files appearing in preview (D8) but not n browser after uploading - frustrated!

New Here ,
May 28, 2007 May 28, 2007
Hello,

I have worked with Flash and Dreamweaver on the side for a number of years. We all know that after the recent changes, the way it handles object and embed tags has changed to favor Java actionscripts instead.

This code I am about to paste was created using Dreamweaver 8.02, with transitional (x) html. Now mind you, this is not the prettiest piece of code you've ever seen. I now am learning to use CSS layouts instead of layers/tables, with php and flash integrated. This one example is not the only time I have had this problem however.

I made a silly flash banner (its actually a placeholder for a better one I have to develop) for testing purposes and sizing. It appears fine in Firefox, and IE6 in the preview mode via Dreamweaver. When I upload it all to the site, the flash banner does not appear.

I have tried copying the FLA and SWF files to the root folder (the fla, swf, and html files generated are all present), and tried a number of variations in the code and parameters to no avail. The darn thing just won't appear now. Similarly older pages I have created that Dreamweaver now prompts you to "fix the object tag that may not work in IE7...etc" have the same issue. If I select "go ahead and fix them for me", they are visible in production, but gone after uploading.

Now to remove the possibility that this was a layering or parent tag issue of visibility, I created a blank HTML page and "insert/media/flash" and stuck the banner in there, then uploaded it to my server. It doesn't appear.

I need help. I have been scouring the web for a few days now to no avail and have become quite frustrated with what used to be a really easy integration of Flash and html.

Here is the top chunk of code from the page in question: (the page is live with the missing banner here:

Understanding this change is fundamental in my developing process as a designer, and will save my sanity. I appreciate any help.

Omg.....

Don't you just love beating yourself up looking for answers far more complicated than the situation requires?

Thank you 🙂
