Help!

For some reason, my index page has suddenly stopped playing my embedded flash files! I see the files and am able to preview when editing some of the other links in Dreamweaver, but when I upload it to my host, the flash files are not there. There is not even a box that says that it can't find the graphics, it just removes the flash files.

On my home page for www.Clovisgroup.com, it should have 2 Flash files. Look at the code, because it says they are there, but I just can't see them.

Can anyone please help a VERY novice web designer? I'm just trying to maintain the site.

Thanks,
Jill

Try validating (http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.clovisgroup.com%2F&charset=(detect+automatically)&doctype=Inline&group=0) the page, it's always a good idea.

Flash was written for Flash Player 6, object code written wrong (as of today's standards) and if you want it to show up (even roughly) we either need to add the embed tag (no!) or do the swfobject method (http://code.google.com/p/swfobject/wiki/documentation), and correctly.
