putting swf files into dw8

[maxelcat]

I am using studio 8. I am wanting to insert a .swf file into a section of a webpage index.html using DW8.

I place the .swf into the root folder, where the index.html file is.

I use the common-tasks->flash and select the .swf file. A gray placeholder appears. When I press run all is fine. When I use F12 to preview all is fine.

However if I then attempt to run the file from a my local apache server I get errors messages. The page loads fine as before, but the flash swf is simply not there.

The site has run totally fine before.

I can make the swf file work by cutting and pasting the html that flash generates when you do a preview. This all works fine, but when I try to opent he file in DW8 I am told that it contains tags that some browsers wont interpret correctly.

I am at a bit of a loss to know how best to put a .swf into a webpage really.

Any advice please?

Perhpas this isn't a DW8 issure but a server issue? Or a flash one???
