Problems with Flash on page

scubasteve · May 17th, 2005, 8:37 PM

I'm a little baffled at why my flash "slide show" is not working on my website. It is a new element, it is in the template so it should show on every page but for some reason does not run at all. It is located on the top right next to "Scuba Steve's Marine Outlet" on the right hand side. The url is http://www.scubasteve.biz I have other pages with flash that work with no problem.

My best guess is that it's not able to load the file due to an incorrect filepath.

Just put the complete path.

not only should you try the direct path to the file, but make sure this is at the very top of your html page, before the header:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">

You've got something similar there, but it wouldn't hurt to try what I've got above.

Also, in looking at the "brandimages" file, there is no swf in it.
