    Default Movie not loading

    Hi! I definitely need help. I'm new web developer. I having problem with my flash banner loading. I put both html and swf files in the same directory. However when my html files load, the swf file is not loading. Below is my coding.

    <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
    <head>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
    <title>index</title>
    </head>
    <body bgcolor="#330033">
    <!--url's used in the movie-->
    <!--text used in the movie-->
    <!-- saved from url=(0013)about:internet -->
    <object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0" width="800" height="300" id="alcc" align="middle">
    <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
    <param name="movie" value="alcogic/alcc.swf" /><param name="quality" value="high" /><param name="bgcolor" value="#378cb1" /><embed src="alcogic/alcc.swf" quality="high" bgcolor="#378cb1" width="800" height="300" name="index" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" />
    </object>
    </body>
    </html>

    well... just looking at the codeI can't be exactly sure... but:

    Code:
    id="alcc"
    SHOULD match the same in the PARAM lines:

    Code:
    value="alcogic/alcc.swf
    Also this is old coding (using MX04?? ) the <embed> tag wont validate and there are better ways to put your Flash on the web.

    If you want more details after you get the swf loaded just ask

    The idea is to make Flash accessible to everyone, or at least as many people as possible.

    The way to do this is to remove the <embed> tag all together. It isn't needed.

    Then re-write your code that the published HTML puts out with some JS.

    Full instructions on this part can be found HERE

    Once you are done, validate your page. If done correctly it should pass validation 100&#37;.

    If you need more of an idea of what to add and what to leave check the source code of this page

    You will see how I have done what that tutorial page says, and how I have removed the <embed> tag.
