Embedding Flash

[Bedspring]

Hello,
i have searched the threads and cannot find the answer. I am trying to embed a file created in flash, a simple set of photos appearing using a timeline, the animation works in preview.
I am trying to embed flash in a fragment on my home page using the following code
!!<<object width="400" height="250">
<param name="movie" value="breasleygal.html">
<embed src="breasleygal.html" width="400" height="250">
</embed>
</object>>!!

In my root folder I have breasleygal.html breasleygal.swf breasleygal.fla i have tried all 3 file paths but none will appear, the html result can be seen here www.orthobed.co.uk , the swf just leaves a blank area.
Can anyone help.
Regards Steve

If you use the .swf extension instead of .html I see it works in FF.

Thanks for the reply

!!<<object width="400" height="250">
<param name="movie" value="breasleygal.swf">

Have you tried this method: http://community.actinic.com/showpos...78&postcount=3

Add your swf file to the Additional Files list in Actinic then try:

!!<

<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0" width="400" height="250" >
  <param name="movie" value="http://www.orthobed.co.uk/acatalog/breasleygal.swf">
  <param name="quality" value="high">
  <embed src="http://www.orthobed.co.uk/acatalog/breasleygal.swf" width="400" height="250" align="top" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></embed>
</object>

I tested this using Firebug on your site homepage and it works in FF.

There are newer methods but this still works.

Bingo, thanks very much, but I wonder why the other code did not work. The .swf was already in the additional files folder so that was not the problem.

Your simpler code did work in Chrome and FF but IE is not so clever.
