Flash Embedding Problem.

[Yhtomit]

Ok, so I created website in Dreamweaver for my Shortened Shakespeare flash animations. I've uploaded an unfinished version through Freewebs to see what it'd look like on the internet, and for some reason, the flash doesn't show up at all. When you're viewing the site, it fails to acknowledge that there's anything there at all.
Site. A Page With Flash on it. A link to where the flash itself is on the internet.

And here's the embedding code that it automatically added in Dreamweaver that isn't working in Freewebs:
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-4 44553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com /pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#ve rsion=9,0,28,0" width="550" height="400" title="Macbeth">
<param name="movie" value="../Shortened Shakespeare/Macbeth.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<embed src="../Shortened Shakespeare/Macbeth.swf" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.adobe.com/shockw ave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Versio n=ShockwaveFlash" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="550" height="400"></embed>
</object>
So, any help?

<param name="movie" value="macbeth.swf"><param name="wmode" value="transparent">
</object>

Is referencing to your computer: "../Shortened Shakespeare/", you need to remove these lines so it changes to "<embed src="Macbeth.swf">

Seeing as how HTML's embed is deprecated, i would suggest using SWFObject.

Whoops just realized you were using object *facepalm*

Oh well, use SWFObject anyway.

1. i'm not Jon-86
2. Citrics and Yhtomits posts are the same

well GO TO BED :P

anyway i did it without the embed because 1. problems with IE and FF3
2. easier to edit
3. looks better if you ask for help about the code

Bah, I dont think yours is right anyway.

And yeah, the fact that I confused you with jon is

1) I am reallllly tired

and

2) sorry i didnt mean to insult you jon :P

You didn't explain where the problem was, I pointed out why it was failing.

So? If someone has a problem the best thing we can do is help them solve the problem and understand why the problem exists, learning is better than just taking something someone else has given you and using it without understanding why it works.
