[SOLVED] Flash not working on page

[PM]

Hi, I have inserted Flash animation on my page as normal (using Dreamweaver)- only it won't display in the browser for this site - which has various php/mysql pages on it - but this one is a simple html page - which displays the html - but not the Flash ?

 

The flash displays in the browser if I insert it into a page on another site - which does not use php/mysql.

 

Is it to do with the set up of the site which uses php/mysql ? - e.g. the fact there's testing server settings. My sites/servers are hosted remotely - and not on my own machines.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

I'd load up the page and 'view source' on it, make sure all the embed / object code is right and that the src path is correct. If everything looks right, try hard coding the src path and see if that helps.

Thanks for your response. Checked source/path - and plays from property panel, plays in another site using same page and flash swf file.

 

All I can think of is that because the site is using php/mysql + the settings (remote server/testing server etc) that's required - the Javascript embeded by dreamweaver for 'inserting' a flash item - doesn't work in this situation.

 

Is there a more direct way without Dreamweaver adding javascript - of calling the Flash swf file - from a html or php page ?

 

Thanks.

Yep.

 

<object><embed src="filename.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"><param name="movie" value="filename.swf" /></object>

Thank you all - this has created a work around - in that the flash no works on the php/mysql site. I will look into why it wouldn't work with the Dreamweaver created Javascript code for inserting flash objects.

 

Appreciated !
