I had added a flash movie to my site at the bottom, http://www.beaconbaymarinarv.com/ , and the first time I uploaded the site it worked fine , but I have made a few updates and know it will not work. I made the flash using CoffeeCup GIF Animator full version . I have tried to save it under a new file name; I then add the HTML code to VSD full version though the add HTML screen and have uploaded the new .swf file , still nothing, so I would delete the box and start over , still not working. So I know I am doing somthing simple wrong but can not get it. I did get the very first time but sence the update will not work. :o

Richk, will the inbuilt FLASH tool not install it, from memory using the html tool only does part of the job. Started using CC VSD in January 2009, I don't do HTML code, I have had appx £16,000 of sales from my SCCP & SCDP shop to date, Enjoying semi-retirement

Looks like your flash movie maybe corrupt. Try redoing it to see if it will fix the issue.:) I can't hear what I'm looking at when it's so easy to overlook something I'm not looking for.

Sorry it took me so long to get back with you about this ;;; Yes I have recreated the file a couple of times and have reloaded it a few times by reloading the HTML and also I have the .swf file in the main file area where the HTML's are and also have it in the files area where all the image and other files are.

What were the changes you made? Was it that weather script by any chance?
Try putting the same fishflash.swf on a new blank page to help rule out other things. I can't hear what I'm looking at when it's so easy to overlook something I'm not looking for.

Ok, the movie might not have uploaded correctly.. Because when you visit the movie itself, http://www.beaconbaymarinarv.com/fishflash.swf it still does not show up in IE9 or Firefox... So, I would suggest making sure the movie is a valid copy or try making it again... I hope this helps.

No the first time I uploaded the web site I had the flash and the weather script together and it worked but then I did a few updates and it stoped, I will try a blank page and see what happens, thanks
