Please can someone help! I am inserting flash files into dreamweaver MX but for some reason cannot see these files. They are all linked to the correct place, but when I go to the browser I can only see a white space and the system just tries and tries to load the flash.
I know they're there as friends can see them!
I am desparate, this is for a client, and I am new to MX.
 
what's the address? your friends can see

Do you have the latest Flash player on your machine? Flash writes a bit of code into the Dreamweaver HTML, and unfortunately - even if you saved the .swf as Version 5 - the code requires the latest version. You can change that in the HTML inside Dreamweaver. Look in the code and find a reference to (something like) Flash=6,0,23,0. Change those numbers to 5,0,0,0 and be confident in knowing over 90% of your site-visitors will be able to see the Flash.
 
Many, Many thanks to Dixiecannonball! This worked and I can now see all the Flash stuff.
Must get a brain!
Cheers mate, you don't know how much I appreciate this.
