I'm a noob.....

I have never done flash before and I'm having difficulties getting my flash banner up on my website. I have it in the correct directory and such but it isnt showing on my website....


help would be awesome!

This really isn't php related...

Post the code you are trying to use to display the flash content.

Also, what exactly is happening?

Ya, I just saw the javascript forum... my bad.

anyways this is the code im using...

<script type="text/javascript">
AC_FL_RunContent( 'codebase','http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,28,0','width','1000','height','221','src','images/emazingchikk','quality','high','pluginspage','http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash','movie','images/emazingchikk' ); //end AC code
</script><noscript><object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,28,0" width="1000" height="221">
  <param name="movie" value="images/emazingchikk.swf" />
  <param name="quality" value="high" />
  <embed src="images/emazingchikk.swf" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="1000" height="221"></embed>
</object></noscript>

A couple of things I notice:

1) AC_FL_RunContent ( ) - I'm not familiar with this function. Do you have a javascript file containing this function? This is what is being called if you have javascript enabled in your browser ( and i'm sure you do ). If the function doesn't exist, a javascript error should be thrown. Check the bottom left corner of your ie browser for js errors, or check the error console in firefox. Also, Try removing the <cript/noscript stuff all together. Just use this:

<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,28,0" width="1000" height="221">
  <param name="movie" value="images/emazingchikk.swf" />
  <param name="quality" value="high" />
  <embed src="images/emazingchikk.swf" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="1000" height="221"></embed>
</object>

2) Double check that the file path is correct ( images/emazingchikk.swf ). Maybe try using an absolute path just to be safe ( http://www.yoursite.com/images/emazingchikk.swf )

Let me know if any of this helps.

Ah! Thank you so much that worked. The code I gave you was the code dreamweaver did when i inserted the flash media... but that worked thanks!
