Macromedia Flash (again)!

[Simon Williams]

Hi all,

I'm using the following to impliment a flash animation into one of my sites:

<center>
      <object
        classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
        codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,79,0"
        id="movie_title"
        width="560" height="234"
      >
        <param name="movie" value="movie_title.swf">
        <param name="bgcolor" value="#bbbbbb">

        <param name="quality" value="high">
        <param name="allowscriptaccess" value="samedomain">
        <embed
          type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
          pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"
          name="movie_title"
          width="560" height="234"
          src="movie_title.swf"
          bgcolor="#FFFFFF"
          quality="high"
          swliveconnect="true"
          allowscriptaccess="samedomain"
        >
          <noembed>
          </noembed>
        </embed>
      </object>
    </center>

And have checked the following:

• Its in my site folder
• It's been FTP'd to 'acatalog'
• It definately works

But the movie will not run either in preview, or online.

Can anyone offer any advice (other than don't use Flash!).

Cheers
Simon

Nope ... Still not happenin’ Bill.

Even using the most basic option to embed the move using the .js file, I get a blank space where the movie would be. If I right click where the move should be, I get the macromedia flash menu, but it tells me "Movie not loaded" - this is the same in both cases - the old, and new.

Again, I've double checked the movie location and that the filenames etc. are correct.

Is anyone using a flash movie with success?

I've got it to work, but only after putting it in the httpdocs folder. It also now works in Actinic - this, surely, can't be right!

Hi Guys

Did you get your flash movie to work in the end?

I have tried to install a flash movie into Actinic and it does not work. Tried it on the server using Dreamweaver and it works fine.

This is the code from Actinic!

object classid="clsid27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0" width="596" height="260">
<param name="movie" value="flash1.swf">
<param name="quality" value="high">
<embed src="/flash1.swf" width="596" height="260" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" bgcolor="#663333"></embed>
</object>

Acitinic does not like this part <embed src="/flash1.swf" width="596" height="260" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" bgcolor="#663333"></embed>

Any ideas?

Hello

Sorry for the delay. Can you check if the file flash1.swf is present in the PreviewHTML within the Site1 folder and in the root folder (and/or acatalog, if it is to appear on the store pages as well) on the server?

I tried this on my default site using the code in your post and it works in Preview and the live site if I copy the image into these folders. Ideally this does not seem to be correct behaviour, I will pass this on to the dev team and post back their response.

Hope this helps. Let me know how you get on.
