I did a website in flash catalyst - and published it as a swf file. I then went to filezilla and uploaded it to the server. I have all the folders that I need on the server including the html file which the swf is embedded. But when I look at the site all it shows me is the background. I have been talking to netfirms.com for 2 days now and they are telling me it is on my end with the code.

Other Notes:

• It works when I view in browser from dreamweaver.
• tells them at netfirms.com that they need to update to flash 10.1 - which I have done but still see purple screen and I have also went to 3 other computers with the flash 10.1 on the computer and I still get the purple BG
• looks like it wants to come - looks like the movie clip wants to play but disappears and all you see is the purple BG
• I also renamed the main.html file to index.html (which I have read is something that needs to be done)
• netfirms.com is telling me that it may be a coding issue - but Adobe catalyst writes all the code for you and it like I said, it works when I view it in the browsers - (google chrome, IE, Firefox, and Safari)

Please help me or point me in the right direction. Thanks so much in advance.

Main.swf and main.swf are two different things on *nix hosting!

so I suggest you owe your hosting tech support an apology!

Thank you so much. Your right - I do owe an apology, although I was never disrespectful. You sure give sarcastic answers.... But you really know your stuff - do you have some online classes or something? I am sure you get tired of answering dumb questions this.
Thanks a million!

Nah The apology quip was a tongue in cheek remark rather than a dig at you.

and I did exactly the same thing when I first started doing website work outside of a corporate Windows environment.
