Hi,
I have a flash movie that plays when I "test movie" and plays when I load the html file from the directory it is stored in but when I try and insert the movie into an html page in Dreamweaver MX it just won't play - any ideas?

Thankyou in advance for your help...

You looking at it in your browser?
Cos I don't think that it will actually 'play' in the DW workspace

Yeah, I'm previewing in my browser.
I've got movies to work before - it's just that this one isn't playing the game!
 
Actually... I'll correct myself!
It can play in the DW workspace! lol
FOrgot about the 'Play' button in the properties inspector!

hmmmm.... is the path to the Flash file ok?
It is the swf file.. not the fla?

What exactly happens when you try to preview it in your browser and or DW workspace?
 
I'm using the swf file -
When I try to preview, it just says "1 item remaining" in the status bar.
I'm trying to run the file in a template - does that make a difference?
(My flashplayer is working fine!)
 
hmmmmm - not sure what I've done but it seems to be working ok now!! Sorry to trouble you, thankyou for your help/ comments...
