.swf flash files not recognised
hi guys, i'm new to flash
my computer does not show the little 'f' icon next to my flash .swf files nor does it recognise what program created it etc etc just that annoying generic icon shows next to my flash files, am i missing something? do i have to download or install a flash plugin or whatever before i can successfully recognise .swf files?
your help appreciated

You need a Flash player which is free download from Adobe

hi egg
i am using the .swf file type when exporting, but it still shows with the 'file not recognised' logo
i have copied the html when you preview the flash in xara extreme pro and i have changed the default file type to the name of the .swf file i saved beforehand
all i get is the white rectangle, even though the file plays smoothly in xara flash
your help appreciated

Could you give me the name of your swf file and post the code you're embedding in your html file?

please help, ive already spent too much time on this!
why doesnt the red icon appear next to my .swf files?
i entered the html, it looks like the file is there, have you checked the file? am i missing the macromedia plugin? does the file play on your comp?

Herb,
I think that the "F" icon not showing on your local computer has nothing to do with the file not showing on the internet.
Please supply a link to the site where your Flash file is supposed to appear.
