Hi guys!
I am trying to incorporate a swish movie into an html page.
the movie is saved at the same location as all else on the page. Why do I get a white blank patch in place of the movie?
Below is my html code for embedding it.

Thanks lots!

Code: 
<html>
<head>
  <title>Flash Animation1</title>

Well for one it looks as though you need to chang flsh1.swi to flsh1.swf. even though it is a swish movie it still plays inside the flash player.

Never used Swish...So!

But why are so many users suddendly referring to the Flash 4 player?
codebase=&quot;
Why are your dimensions not the same in the <embed> and <object> tags?

A link we can check out ourselves?

Is there anything I should have done in Swish short of simply saving it after creation?

Thanks all!

As I said, never used Swish, but it seems you can't embed the .swi file, in FrontPage at least, so it must be the same in any other html editor.

According to this...
...Guess you would need to export your file from Swish in the .swf format (if that's possible! - must be!), and then embed the .swf. It might even be necessary to have the .swi on the server also, although it's not directly used when playing it through the Flash player!

Hope this helps!

Hi oldnewbie,
That's exactly what i have done now.I have both .swi and a .swf(which is a resaved version of the.swi-saved it in Swish as .swf)..but i didn't go through what you just suggested FreshJava, so I'll go back and resave it that way and try it out.

Thanks for your help!
