Hi. I am having a lot of problems with inserting flash objects in my web site. I started with template from macromedia.com editable in photoshop and then i made some changes in coffee cup. This is my adress www.cilipi.bravehost.com. In the beginning everything worked just fine, without any problems loading in Mozilla or IE 6,7 , Opera, everyting worked just fine.

Afterawile i placed my first flash object to page. I created a navigation bar, more correctly one button at www.hypergurl.com and copy pasted code and at first look everything was functioning. Later i found out that IE is having problems loading that flash object. First an alert message pops out and asks to install adobe flash player, then i need to activate flash object to use it...

I was looking for reasons and trying hard to solve that, even studyied this script but i am simply beginner aand i really need some step by step help.

I will paste my flash code here so you can see it and possbile insert that script in it so i could have a complete code to copy paste it. First some questions lol

1. how to insert script in coffeecup?
2. where to put it in code?
3. installation? what to upload to my server?

ok here is a code that is used right now

this is that flash navbar--

Hi. I am a newbie to embedding flash as well. It took me a few days to discover the deconcept blog and this forum. My flash always comes up as the words "load fail" on the web page. Using the information you gave Ante, I at last managed to see a black box, but the words "load fail" are now in the box.

Here's the address for test page I'm using the embed code on:

http://soulstonechronicles.bravehost.com/draft.html

And here's the code:

<html>
<HEAD>
<META content="MSHTML 6.00.2900.2180" name=GENERATOR></HEAD>

I loaded swfobject.js to the folder containing the same files that my web page uses. http://soulstonechronicles.bravehost.com/swfobject.js

I'd appreciate any help you can give me. I have no clue where to go from here. I just cut and past html usually, relying on real programmers who know what they're doing. This is the first time I can't get something to work.

Thanks,
Karen

Thank you, Philip. The help is much appreciated.

I'm not sure what you mean about it being a video player. I thought swf objects loaded automatically using Adobe or Macromedia or something. For me, the load fail happens whether I use Opera, Firefox, Netscape or IE. I can't see the flash file. I can only load it by clicking the local html file generated by the program that created the flash file, which was Flash Slideshow Maker. But when I cut and paste the same code from that html file into my draft page for Bravenet, I get load fail once again and can no longer see the swfobject.

I'm trying to replace a working slideshow created by Slide.com. Slide.com does not allow linking on each frame. Mine does, but I can't see to get the file to work.

what i meant was "what is this SWF supposed to be doing?" you just answered my question: it's a slideshow player.

that means the "load fail" message you're getting is probably because the slideshow SWF can't find the images and/or configuration file it's supposed to load. again, "load fail" is not an Adobe error message or a SWFObject error message. it was programmed into your SWF by the company that produced the slideshow SWF file.

if your slideshow works locally but doesn't work when loaded onto your server, it's likely due to one of three things:

1. the slideshow files (images, configuration files) might not have been uploaded to the server


2. your path names might not match what's on the server. are the images supposed to be in the same folder as the SWF?


3. the server might not be configured to handle certain file types correctly (this is unlikely in this case)

Ah. I have some things to frig about with. There's a slides xml thingy here. I'll try loading that up, and if that doesn't work, I'll try loading each frame. Thank you again, Philip.

And I will go read up on html. I get spinny and have headaches when I work at it too long. Obvious sign of confusion, eh? ;-)

Thanks.

thanks for your help!!
