I need to add a movie to a website. I don't know anything about Flash, and I have the .swf files from the individual who created it. I am using the following code to play the movie:

<td width="452" height="338"><object classid="clsid27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=5,0,0,0" width="450" height="338">
<param name=movie value="moviename.swf">
<param name=quality value=high><param name="LOOP" value="false">
<embed src="moviename.swf" quality=high pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="450" height="338" loop="false">
</embed>
</object></td>


I think this should work, but on my slow dial-up the movie does not load after 10 minutes. I have the .swf file uploaded to the proper directory on the server. The file size is 629KB - I imagine it is too large ???If so, how can I make it "smaller" and therefore quick-loading? Thank you!

The only thing I can think of is it's not finding the file's location correctly. Try renaming the file to relate to the root section of the server.

Example: "../moviename.swf"

Of course, if it's in a subfolder, it'd have to be "../folder/moviename.swf"
