Flash .SWF files and the Web.

[Guest]

I created several .SWF files using Flash. I uploaded them into Frontpage 2003. I tested the new Flash website in my browser and it works great. When you click on a menu item, it plays the next .SWF file no problem. I published the site on the web and access it, the intro screen plays. When you click on the "Enter Site" button it plays the next .SWF file called "LatestNews.SWF". Problem is that's all it plays. When you click on the "Schedule" menu item, the movie doesn't play. In fact, no other file plays except itself!!! This is different than when I tested it on my local PC prior to publishing. Can you please help?

Kind of hard to help without seeing the site / page.
Can you post a URL?

Eric,

Have you uploaded your .SWF files directly to your server? I know I
have run into a problem with this when I was loading them through FrontPage
and then trying to play them. Once I logged onto my site LIVE and placed
the files actually on the server then pointed to them, I was cookin with
crisco!!! Hopefully it helps a little!

Good Luck,
Carl
