So in Safari...in order to view an .swf file... I'll need to post both the .flv and the .swf file on the server...? Also do I need to use object tags or can I just use this:

for example?

In order to see it at all for others, you need to put it on a server.

Also do I need to use object tags or can I just use this: <embed src="/loader/loader.swf"></embed> for example?

That's about as minimal as can be.

I suggest you look at the samples I provided.

I have recently downloaded an xml linked flash file from flashden.net. I have used the regular html snippet that I have been successfully using to insert the flash file. It shows up in the live version, but without any of the content (its a 3D carousel image viewer).

Could someone perhaps post a peive of code to make xml linked flash files work in iWeb?

Thanks!

Based on [this page|http://flashden.net/item/3d-demo-papervision-mp3-audio-scenario-from-xml/1 1224] I think the xml file should be in the same location as the swf file.

Idem ditto for the sound you hear on that page.

In Safari open the activity window (Cmd-Option-A) to see the 3 files.

Here's the demo I created with the files.

Look at the source of the page.

Copy the embed code and paste it in the HTML Snippet. User your own dotMacID and swf file name and folder. Adjust width and height.
