RE: FLASH: swf file in different folder from html

[Harrison, Len]

Hi Sienna,

Get rid of that leading "/". It references back to the root.

<param name="Movie" value="/G-shockwave/intro.swf">

should be

<param name="Movie" value="G-shockwave/intro.swf"> assuming your flash is

below your html. If they are in sibling directories then you want

<param name="Movie" value="../G-shockwave/intro.swf">


As for your other post, you *will* want to use Generator. Might try Swift

Generator. It's free and seems to work as far as I can tell (just messed

around with it a bit). You won't need Flash 4 but it sure is nice! Maybe you

should say you need it anyway -- except Generator only works with 3 for now.

Write 4, export as 3?
