Flash Movie Won't Load

[mickeyj2]

Hi,

Ok. I'm very, very new to Flash, though I've been developing for years. But I need to get a movie up and loaded on my website.

I created a slideshow in Powerpoint, and then converted it to a .SWF file, which I loaded onto my site.

Now in my Coldfusion file, I say the following:

[blue]
<EMBED src="

http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab?nav=pptslide.swf"

src="pptslide.swf"
quality="high"
bgcolor="##FFFFFF"
width="400"
height="220"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash">
</EMBED>
[/blue]

When I look at the browser page, I have the space for the Flash movie, and even when I hover over the location where the movie should be it, the Alt text says :"Press Spacebar or Enter to use this control", but the browser attempts to continue loading the page, but nothing ever shows.

What could be wrong?

Also, below is the code I embedded in a normal HTML page.
The HTML page was running ok.

<object classid="clsid27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="

http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,19,0"

width="400" height="220" ID="loader" VIEWASTEXT>
<param name="movie" value="pptslide.swf">
<param name="quality" value="high">
<param name="wmode" value="window">
<embed src="pptslide.swf" quality="high" name="loader" pluginspage="

http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"

type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="220"></embed>
</object>

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

It's ok. I got it to load. I used an absolute path, but actually, I shouldn't have to do that.

Thanks anyway.
