I need some help getting flash movies to work on my site. I am not a pro by any means. I create the movie export it, put it in my dreamweaver site, preview it there and it works perfect. up load the page to the server, go to view it, and the movie never comes up the page just shows that the site is still getting the movie but it either takes forever or never comes up.

Do I just have the wrong settings, or am I just plain not doing it right.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

I agree with Basil. You either need to check the path of the SWF, or upload the movie if you haven't already. Try to point to the movie using an absolute URL in your browser and see if it comes up. If it does, then double check the source to the movie in your code.

Also, make sure in the source that the "<param name="movie" value=" points to the same file as "<embed src=". This can cause problems if they don't match.

That's really all I can think of.
