Hey guys,

Well I'm a web designer, and I use flash all the time, haha, which makes this question quite silly!

So i'm making a flash intro. Instead of just making it right there in the file, i made a Movie Clip, and created the entire thing inside there...not too sure why, but thats how i started. Anyway, basically, three circles (Drawn in flash) fade in, and then some text shoots out, and then a graphic i've loaded to my library gets unmasked so it looks like its being drawn.

It all works when i "test" the movie, but when i import the .swf to dreamweaver, only the Library Graphic shows up, and the movies plays normally as though those Drawn circles aren't even there. I had the same problem with the text that faded in as well, but then i changed it to "use device font" and now it gets displayed. Any reason why the drawn circles wont appear? Thanks
 
Well, I fixed my own problem!

For those wondering. It has to deal with ActiveX. I made the entire thing in Flash 8 and when I exported it, for some reason, programs like Dreamweaver or I guess computers without the most-updated version of ActiveX can't see the shapes. I exported as Flash 7 and it all works. Thanks to anyone who even considered hitting "reply" =)
