So I just inserted a flash object into my dreamweaver page.
The flash works fine the direct link here works: http://www.abbottsports.com/tennis/flash/tennismenu.swf
But when you visit the page: http://abbottsports.com/tennis/adulttennis.php
it's just blank space.
Here is my flash code:
<object id="FlashID2" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="597" height="115">
<param name="movie" value="flash/tennismenu.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="wmode" value="opaque" />
<param name="swfversion" value="15.0.0.0" />
<!-- This param tag prompts users with Flash Player 6.0 r65 and higher to download the latest version of Flash Player. Delete it if you don’t want users to see the prompt. -->
<param name="expressinstall" value="/htdocs/Scripts/expressInstall.swf" />
<!-- Next object tag is for non-IE browsers. So hide it from IE using IECC. -->
<!--[if !IE]>-->
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="flash/tennismenu.swf" width="597" height="115">
<!--<![endif]-->
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="wmode" value="opaque" />
<param name="swfversion" value="15.0.0.0" />
<param name="expressinstall" value="/htdocs/Scripts/expressInstall.swf" />
<!-- The browser displays the following alternative content for users with Flash Player 6.0 and older. -->
<div>
<h4>Content on this page requires a newer version of Adobe Flash Player.</h4>
<p><a href="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer"><img src="http://www.adobe.com/images/shared/download_buttons/get_flash_player.g if" alt="Get Adobe Flash player" width="112" height="33" /></a></p>
</div>
<!--[if !IE]>-->
</object>
<!--<![endif]-->
</object>
Lots of conflicting info here.
The page you linked to is using a different .swf:
<param name="movie" value="flash/topslideshowtennis.swf" />
which calls for swfversion (actually this means which Flash version to use)
<param name="swfversion" value="6.0.65.0" />
which is a really, really old version.. not sure if that even works.... change to version 10.
Since you have the .swf in a different folder than the HTML Web page, there could very well be pathing problems if the Flash uses any external files ... like images or .xml files. Are there any other Flash related files besides the .swf? What else is in the "flash" folder?
Your code posted above probably won't work either
<param name="swfversion" value="15.0.0.0" />
There is no Flash player version 15 (yet)... change that to version 10 also.
Then there is the matter of coding errors on the page... of which there are many!
Validate your code here:

It's weird cause i just installed the new CS6 and when I used that to insert my swf. it automatically did version 15 of flash. When I changed it to version 10 it worked. I did also notice that I hadn't uploaded the expressinstall.swf don't know if that helped. but now it works! Thanks so much!
