Hi everyone,
if anyone has a some time to help me with this I would really appreciate it.

I'm not the greatest at coding but I wanted to give myself a shot at making my own website. So far so good (in my opinion). Here is the problem that I am having.
For the new year I have re-done my website and now I can no longer seem to get my flash banners (.swf) to appear on my website. i even tried using the previous code and manually re-direct the source to the files new location. No luck. however when I open it to preview on my own machine it seems to work.
Here is the current code



<script type="text/javascript">
AC_FL_RunContent( 'codebase','http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,28,0','width','468','height','60','title','Highlight','src','../Gallery/DontLook/flash/www.sammacha.com_simple_highlight','quality','high','pluginspage','http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash','movie','../Gallery/DontLook/flash/www.sammacha.com_simple_highlight' ); //end AC code
</script><noscript><object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,28,0" width="468" height="60" title="Highlight">
<param name="movie" value="../Gallery/DontLook/flash/www.sammacha.com_simple_highlight.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<embed src="../Gallery/DontLook/flash/www.sammacha.com_simple_highlight.swf" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="468" height="60"></embed>
</object></noscript>

if someone could tell me where I've made a mistake I would appreciate it
Also if needed : a link to the actual page on the website

and a link to the files location

Hi there Sammacha,

personally, I wouldn't use javascript for your .swf banners.

This coding works perfectly for me...

Hi there Sammacha,

sorry about that. :(

After looking at your page code, I would suggest that you put ../ before Gallery/DontLook/flash/...


<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="../Gallery/DontLook/flash/www.sammacha.com_fade_banner.swf" width="468" height="68">
<param name="movie" value="../Gallery/DontLook/flash/www.sammacha.com_fade_banner.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="bgcolor" value="#000000" />
</object>
</p><p>
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="../Gallery/DontLook/flash/www.sammacha.com_simple_highlight.swf" width="468" height="68">
<param name="movie" value="../Gallery/DontLook/flash/www.sammacha.com_simple_highlight.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="bgcolor" value="#000000" />
</object>

...to effect a cure. ;)

Ah! ... Lol, do I feel silly now :P

Thanks so much for the help, and for the better way to insert the flash as an object rather then using a javascript
Very helpful :)

Another option if you only plan to play this from you pc would be to enable Local Access Mode. You will find this in Project Properties>Flash. With this checked
it will allow the SWF to load local files but it will disable webserver functionality.
