I have this flash intro on my index.html page. It's just a small(-ish) falsh 8 .swf file made with Xara

When I open the page from my hard drive, it all works like it should.
But after I uploaded everything in the public html folder, the page shows without the flash - it only has a white box instead of the flash.
I can see the .swf file there in my folder when I use the ftp software, but it just doesn't run.
Am I supposed to put the flash in a separate folder? Is there some permission or something that needs to be set from the control panel?

Thanks.

EDITED - I just checked - it shows in Internet Explorer, but not in Firefox or Netscape. Although locally it works in all 3 browsers.  

here it is: www.pngworldwide.com

It's only one page, I just began building this site.

Hey,

I think the problem is, your Flash file name is not "introWW.swf" -- it's "IntroWW.swf".  Not sure why it worked in IE, but I think if you change it to a capital "I" it should work in all of the browsers.  In Windows, case doesn't matter (which might explain why it works on your local machine), but in Linux (which is probably what your hosting plan is on), case DOES matter, which might explain why it didn't work on the server.

Anyway, try changing the file name... hopefully that does it.

Thanks! It works!

I never thought about the case - HTML is not supposed to be case sensitive, but you're right, it wasn't the HTML, it was the Linux server that had a problem with my spelling.

Now I'm back in business 

I'm having the same problem. The flash created with CoffeeCup Fire Starter works on my local machine but on the web I get a white box. The sound plays and teh image appears at the end, but the rest is a white box with no text. Can anybody help?

The site is www.billzebub.net/test/index1.html

I appreciate any help you can give me.

I checked on my laptop down stairs which is running vista and they work there. They still aren't working on my XP machine. I'll have others check and go over my security settings.

I attempting to ftp an swf file, I can see it in the preview in Dreamweaver but I cannot see it online. my site is nyperiodontics.com, please help this is a very important project

Try it without the Dreamweaver code (get rid of that Run Active Content script is uses when you add the SWF file into your document).  I think I did this within Dreamweaver once and I couldn't get it to work, either.  Erase the area where you have your Flash code and use this instead, and let me know if it works:


I removed this yet it didn't work <script type="text/javascript">
AC_FL_RunContent( 'codebase','http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,28,0','width','526','height','333','title','MLFlash','src','pics/mlflashnew','quality','high','pluginspage','http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash','movie','pics/mlflashnew' ); //end AC code
      </script>

I also replace the code with the code you sent me and now I can't preview the flash unless I put the AC_FL_RunContent code back in.
