    Hi all!
    First of all. I'm new to webdesign and my knowledge is limited. I have been working with dreaweaver and flash catalyst and that's just about it.

    My problem: I have designed a website in photoshop and Illustrator and in Flash Catalyst I made the whole site "operational" and I exported it to a swf-file. But when I go to dreamweaver and import the swf-file to a html.document and upload it to my server and try to view it in my browser the only thing I can see is the <body> of the html file. I can't view the flash what so ever. Any suggestion what I should do? :)

    is the problem in all browsers or only FireFox? if only FireFox then there is an additional "code" you have to add to retrieve the flash, a very simple one.

    Hope that helped you!

    I gave up on Dreamweaver and started making my own HTML templates and just doing lots of copying and pasting for various types of websites. Here is a typical swf file snippet:

    <object data="tutorial.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="960" height="250">
    <param name="MOVIE" value="tutorial.swf">
    </object>

    try the below code, shall make it work on all browsers:

    <object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="FileName.swf" width="123px" height="123px">
    <param name="movie" value="FileName.swf" />
    <param name="loop" value="true" />
    <param name="menu" value="false" />
    <param name=wmode value=transparent />
    </object>
