.swf file shows up on local machine but not on web server.

[eddiesshorts]

I am using Dreamweaver CS3 flash .swf file shoes up on local server website but when added to the Web server is does not show up.
I know that Dreamweaver adds a scripts file and folder now does that have something to do with it??
Thanks,

Can you see the SWF if you type in the URL of the SWF in the browser?

Thanks, Kenneth, yes it shows up by itself. It shows up in the page in dreamweaver and in the browser when I do a local test to see the page then when I up load it to the server it does not show up.
here is the link.

CS3 Dreamweaver makes a script and I add that folder and script.

Hmmmm??

 

[kennethkawamoto]

Your HTML is not creating the Flash object - have you uploaded the JavaScript file "Scripts/AC_RunActiveContent.js" to the server?

Yes it is uploaded to the server the same way I made it in Dreamweaver all files and folders are the same in both locations. THis is the first time I have uploaded a movie from Dreamweaver CS3 since I upgraded, and I noticed the new scipts folder it adds now, So i put that up as well?

Is the problem in the script code created by dream weaver..Below that you can see??

You have to create the directory called "Scripts" in where your HTML is located, then place "AC_RunActiveContent.js" in that directory.

Yes that is in there also here is a screen shot.

Personally I would not use Macromedia's ActiveContent JavaScript. Try SWFObject <
