Hi!

I'm having some trouble trying to show my .swf flash movie on myspace. I embedded the movie on myspace using this code

<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowScriptAccess="never" allowNetworking="internal" height="852" width="800" style="visibility:visible; display:inline; z-index:6; position:relative; left:0px; right:0px; top:0px; margin-left:0px; background-color:transparent;" data="url.swf">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="never" />
<param name="allowNetworking" value="internal" />
<param name="movie" value="url.swf" />
<param name="menu" value="false" />
<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
</object></div>


but the flash movie does not show (a blank rectangle appears). But if I I access to its host server url, which in the code above would be "url.swf", and I refresh the myspace site, the movie works fine.

Anyone has an idea of what the problem could be?

Thanks!

the way the code is presently the url would be wrong. right now the way it is shown the embed is looking for this. http://www.myspace.com/url.swf which definitely doesn't exist since myspace doesnt host your files. where ever you see the url.swf you need to put the correct path to where its being hosted so for example http://www.myfilesexample.com/url.swf

It wasn't that clear when I wrote the post, sorry. When I wrote "url.swf" I meant the url where I have my flash movie allocated, something like "http://serverhost.com/movie.swf"

Any ideas?

Thanks

try this


<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowScriptAccess="never" allowNetworking="internal" height="852" width="800" data="http://www.yoururl.com/yourswf.swf">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="never" />
<param name="allowNetworking" value="internal" />
<param name="movie" value="http://www.yoururl.com/yourswf.swf" />
<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff" />
</object>

I removed the styling being applied to it and added a a quality and background parameter. Test if it doesnt anything different.

Thanks for the answer but it didn't work. I just don't understand because I've even tried copying the code from other myspace websites that are using a flash movie, and pasting it on myspace and it works fine. But when I use my movie's link it doesn't work until I access to my host server address. I don't know what else to do

I think I got it! I changed my files to another host server and it seems like it's working. So I guess it was something related to the server.

Thanks for your help!
