.swf flie doesn't work when i put it in website

**handy andy** · 17 July 2011, 08:55 AM

The problem is that it doesn't find them in the computer. When I try to preview the webpage without exporting, this is when i get the problem. I haven't yet tried to upload to the server. I have made a free one online and imported that and it works fine but the one I make in Xara just doesn't seem to work. I can only get it to work when I preview the flash itself... Any other suggestions??

Any other suggestions??

Attach your .swf file to your next post and let someone else have a shot?

Yes a file of what your trying to do will be helpful.
Another question, what kind of flash is it? Like is it a music clip, video clip, or image gallery?

Sorry all for the delay. Just been on Holidays. It is an animated banner. I am trying to show a frame every 0.1sec over 35 frames to make it look like moving animation.

Here is the link for the file...

Thanks heaps for getting back to me I am sure it is just a stupid amateur mistake.

Seems perfectly fine to me HA.

File>Export Animation>(choose SWF)>Animation Options 'Drawing' 'SWF8' '24FPS' Named logo flash.swf

Drag'n'drop into page, size the placeholder to 500x125 - export to HTML. Test.

Here's the result ► Andy's Flash (allow a few moments for the flash to load)

Ha that is funny... Guess I will uninstall and reinstall the software and see if that fixes it. Might also try to update from the website.
Thanx ShapeShifter. At least I know i am doing it right.
