Can anybody give a hand with this? I have managed to upload my website to the server but my index page (which has a flash file) is not working.

If I remove the flash file and type some text on the index page and upload it to the server it works without any problem. Why is that?

The link:

www.pedaldoc.com

Please give me a hand...

Please quantify "not working"

What doesn't work ? What error is generated ? Does the same happen in multiple browsers ? What does the web server log show ?

Hi,

Thanks for your interest.

If I put some text in Dreamweaver in the index page I can see it after uploading the page to the server.

However if I put the flash file within a layer in dreamweaver in index.htm and I upload it and go to my domain name www.pedaldoc.com I can only see a white page and not the flash file.

I hope this makes some sense.

Don't use flash

Looking at the object it's source is relative, try making this absolute and see if that cures the problem.

I'd suggest junking dreamweaver & flash until you understand the basics of HTML

How do I make a source "absolute"?

Please let me know,

Thanks a lot,

Iv?n.

I dont see a <body> tage before the flash object script.

You have

HTML Code:

<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="665" height="508">
  <param name="movie" value="intro_flash/final_jimi.swf">

  <param name="quality" value="high">
  <embed src="intro_flash/final_jimi.swf" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="665" height="508"></embed>
</object>

Try changing the the src= to the absolute location (ie http://yourdomain.com/object.file)

Another though... You did upload the flash as well as the html ?

ivanmax · 01-02-2006, 14:19

No I only uploaded the flash. Do I have to upload the htm too?

Thanks for your time,

Iv?n.

**monaghan** · 01-02-2006, 14:47

Have you changed the src of the object ?

What does your server log show ?
