Need Help with flash

[screamatme]

I am a new web designer. I have built a couple of sites but never using flash. I use DW to build my sites and for some reason when I test this page in DW it works like it is suppose to (playing the video) but when I upload the site it does not work please look at it and help me out.http://zoegeticsignup.com/Pages/introduction_video.html

The problem is (I'm 95% sure) that you didn't upload the AC_RunActiveContent.js file that DW generates for you once you add a flash object to the page. Do you notice, in your files panel, a new folder called 'Scripts'? This folder must be uploaded in order for your flash file to run.

It's not a problem with your flash file, it's just a matter of using the DW-generated code in order to tell the page to run the file.

If you need more clarification, let me know and I'll make a youtube tutorial.

Sorry about the quality. It may be a bit too blurry to read the names of the files on my screen, but I reference them in my monologue.

ok I watched the video and I do I have that file upload in the site. I use cs4 and I don't see the AC_RunActiveContent.js file instead I see expressinstall and swfobject_modified in my scripts folder. Could there be another problem?

 

[LouTheDesigner]

okay so you have the right files in place. Are your paths correct? It is now saying page cannot be found when I click on it.

Okay, So I downloaded the swf that was at the url you provided. When I tried to open it on my computer, instead of opening in Flash Player it opened in Flash (CS4), and nothing happened. I even tried to play it in Adobe Media Player, and nothing happened.

It's as if it is a blank movie. It's file size is only 12kb!!! Does it just have some actionscript that uses an XML file or something to import images (which would explain the extremely small file size?

Can you post the .fla? I'm sure I can debug this if I had that file.
