.swf doesn't work at all

The URL to your swf file is about the same as the webpage.

http://www.mydomain.com/somefoldername/myswffile.swf

This address you paste in the correct position in the OBJECT code. Twice.

The width and height you should know because you created the swf project.

The whole OBJECT code from <OBJECT> to the last </OBJECT> you paste in the HTML Snippet.

When the URL to your swf file is correct, iWeb will display it when you press Apply. iWeb will also determine the width and height of the snippet, based on the width and height of the OBJECT.

You have to put the swf on the server first. And NOT in a folder you published with iWeb. Use a separate folder.

Thank you. I visited a website: http://web.mac.com/catucker/InsideOutside/Flash.html
and paid a small fee to talk to the person live to help me work out the details.

It was the "how to get the file into my server" so I could get the info to put in your code template that I got stuck on. Since I don't have iMac and am new to the whole webhosting server scene I was clueless.

Now that I know how to get content onto my webhosting companies server I can continue with the rest of your great instructions.

Thank you again for all your wonderful help. I look forward to adding flash to my website, www.sparksprfirm.com , this evening!

Umm, onto the next subject...

Do you know how to add a mailing list to iWeb? :0)

I'm experiencing the same issues and I believe that the problem in this thread is on how to put the swf file on the webserver and making it display it in the browser. I would love a small piece explanation on how to do this. I thank you!

OK I think I got it, gimme a sec...

bad news....I get the area where the video is supposed to be but it actually is a white rectangle with nothing in it. I'll keep working on it for the moment it looks I'm in the right direction but there is something happening that there is a link for the file uploaded but I don't know if its supposed to be there.

does swf should work with this code?

<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="/jorge.vazquez.smith/The AAP/Welcomefiles/capstone%202.swf" width="520" height="360">

any suggestions?

What's your domain? The part before the

/jorge.vazquez.smith/The AAP/Welcomefiles/capstone%202.swf.

And best get rid of the space in the filename.

it's dotmac

I see what your problem is.

I prepare a file for you.

which space do you refer to?


you the man!

%20 is a space.

There's a file missing: iWeb%20Capstone%202.flv

And in the code you placed the URL to your file in the codebase field. Don't!

Here's a text file:

http://web.mac.com/wyodor/_Discussions/capstone.txt

Make sure that both the swf file and the flv file are there.

Then copy the code in the HTML Snippet.

You may delete + http://web.mac.com+ from the URL.

Testageorgie displayed a swf file and it did not work. So I found out what was wrong.

Now he has to mend it.

Did you manage to get the flash file on the server?
