    Red face Swf not appearing on site

    I am building a portfolio site that has an interactive Flash slide show with xml. I placed it in the html code with the help of dreamweaver, and everything looked fine when I previewed it in my browser. When I ftp the files and look at the site on the web, the slide show isn't there, and the layout condenses in on the space as if there is nothing there--the browser completely ignores it.

    I have never had this happen before because it is usually really easy. Anyone have an idea what is wrong?

    I am using cs3 version of both flash and dreamweaver, Firefox 3.something, and windows vista. I have 2 swf files, one in actionscript 2, the other in actionscript 3, and neither one is showing up.

    all insight is appreciated!

    Can you post a link to the problem page so that we can see what is going on?

    sure! There are 2

    This is the main page of the site, and it should have a quick welcome movie (that still needs some work...) in the big white space on the right of the text.

    This is the profile page, where the interactive portfolio should be. It is a 500x450 stage, but as you can see, there is nothing but a skeleton layout.

    Thanks!

    it appears as though the javascript for AC_FL_RunContent is not loaded (because it has not been placed in the HTML document). I will suggest looking into either using SWFobject or manually entering the object tag with the swf files into the HTML.

    Hope this helps.
