    Flash text won't display from web

    JWH-NIRC Community Member
      I cannot for the life of me get my "flash text" to work in Dreamweaver. It shows up just fine in the "preview in browser" mode, but once I put on the web, it fails to show up in any computer I have tried--including the one I made it in where the preview worked.
      Any ideas

              You do not seem to have uploaded the folder "Scripts" and the file within it. In your webpage head tags, you would see the link below

              <script src="../../../../Scripts/AC_RunActiveContent.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

              Unless the folder "Scripts" and the file "AC_RunActiveContent.js" are uploaded to the remote server, flash won't work. You would need to upload the folder at the root level on the remote server.

                The folder "Scripts" and the file are created automatically by dreamweaver at the site root level in your local site, when you insert a swf file

                  Right you are. I found it, shifted the folder to a lower directory, changed the link in the coding to reflect it and ... voilà. It works!

                  Thanks for your patience and your help.

                  PS. I you work for Dreamweaver, it might be good to mention this somewhere for those of us who work off-line and upload our edited pages later.

                    Confused !!! I don't work for Adobe or Dreamweaver (don't think there's a company by that name).
                    Everyone on this forum who helps others with their code is doing it as a selfless gesture. No monetary gains there.
                    I think the only people who maybe working for Adobe are those who respond at times to people having software problems. Even there most times its people who are again being helpful who respond first and not the Adobe staff.
                    I did post once that Adobe pays me a 100 bucks everytime I get the solution and did mention that I was kidding. I hope thats not the cause of this confusion.

                      Thanks for the post. I made the same mistake.
