Cloe -- You're using Aftershock with Flash 4? I haven't made the upgrade

yet myself (still finishing a long project with 3, and don't want to upset

any process applecarts), but at the Seybold Expo yesterday I was pleased to

hear that Aftershock isn't _needed_ with version 4. As I understand it, you

create the host HTML page directly from within Flash 4, using the Publish

menu selection. See what happens if you forget Aftershock and try that,

instead.


If that doesn't seem to be the problem, then experiment with your

Aftershock settings. I recall having unexpected behavior with my .swf files

when I first started using Aftershock, and changing the settings fixed it.

Sad to say, it's been a year and I don't remember which tab section (or

combinations thereof) was the culprit. You may be getting a blank white

placeholder GIF in lieu of your movie. Sorry I can't offer more specific

advice.


Good luck,
