I created a flash slide show in Lightroom and placed it within a file in Dreamweaver,

From Dreamweaver I can preview it in browsers just fine, but on the web the page just shows the surrounding page elements and its blank where the flash element should be.

Here is the page:http://www.a-d-w.com/Portfolio/Photography/Shoots/AFPShoot/

I appreciate any suggestions.

Thanks!
Susan

Hi Susan,
My initial guess is that you probably forgot to upload to the server supporting .flv file. That's why it is showing as blank. The .swf (your flash element) is missing its source .flv. Place an flv file into the same location as your .swf

basically you have problem with relative links - dreamweaver does it...
looking at your page source, your flash is not loaded at all, your flash gallery is placed in a relative link folder "resources/gallery.swf"
so the hard link will be http://www.a-d-w.com/Portfolio/Photography/Shoots/AFPShoot/resources/gallery.swf
since you see the gallery on your computer but not on the web - you have conflict in the relative link. it can't find it.
also there may be a conflict in the relative link of the AC_RunActiveContent.js - which is needed to run the flash.
on your page it look like this:
<script src="../../../../Scripts/AC_RunActiveContent.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

my advice - check these links and make sure you have the AC_RunActiveContent.js on your server
