I am using dreamweaver to insert a flash file....but its not working. It seems like it should be so easy...just insert/media/flash...All my links appear to be correct. I have all the files saved in my site... and if I use flash to publish the slideshow in html it works...but it doenst seem to be doing anything in dreamweaver..Here is what I am testing with..what am I doing wrong???

Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>ATV slideshow</title>
</head><body>

<script src="../scripts/AC_RunActiveContent.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
AC_SW_RunContent( 'codebase','http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/director/sw.cab#version=10,1,1,0','width','32','height','32','src','flash/slide_dragon_nytro_raptor.fla','pluginspage','http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/' ); //end AC code

The only thing I see is changing the path to the fla
Code: 'flash/slide_dragon_nytro_raptor.fla'
to
Code: '../flash/slide_dragon_nytro_raptor.fla'
Or copy the code from the flash generated html file and paste it into dreamweaver in code view. But you still have to make sure the paths are correct to the folder where the fla is stored.

Usually the file is a SWF file. The FLA file is a source file. Try exporting your Flash file to SWF first and then embedding it into HTML

the ATV slideshow doc is in my root folder and the flash doc is in a flash folder in the root so the flash/slide link should be correct......I think anyway...I am not sure why i have a .fla but I also had the .swf and tried with both and it just doesnt seem to be loading. I used dreamweaver to check the links and it says there ok????

Do you have an URL to verify? Also make sure that if you are on a *NIX server, that the file name are in lower case since *NIX server are case sensitive while Windows servers are not.

so not sure why this made a difference but I saved the file directly into the root folder (before I saved it in my docs and copy/pasted it into my root) and published it and its working...on both my .com and .ca site..

weird...

From the code Code: <script type="text/javascript">
AC_FL_RunContent( 'codebase','http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,28,0','width','170','height','300','title','atv_slideshow','src','../flash/slide_dragon_nytro_raptor','quality','high','pluginspage','http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash','movie','../flash/slide_dragon_nytro_raptor' ); //end AC code
</script><noscript><object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,28,0" width="170" height="300" title="atv_slideshow">
<param name="movie" value="../flash/slide_dragon_nytro_raptor.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<embed src="../flash/slide_dragon_nytro_raptor.swf" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="170" height="300"></embed>
</object></noscript> It goes up one folder and then over to the flash folder
