  add swf gallery to html page!

  Posted by Evan Meades on June 17, 2005 at 8:03 am

  Hi, not great with web stuff but I’ve made a flash gallery of some photos using CS2 Photoshop (cool) but can’t
  work out how to get it inside a html page using Dreamweaver MX. Yep, look at the help pages but….

  The swf plays via the Flash Player and also loads into a web browser by clicking the index.html (made by CS2)
  In dreamweaver, I use the insert flash onto a page and all seems okay but all I get is a blank white square
  where it should be. It also won’t play in dreamweaver (via it’s play in window button).

  To insert it into a html page does it need just the swf file or other stuff? CS2 made a few extra files.js stuff etc.

  Any advice greatly appreciated!

  Cheers!

  hello…

  a basic flash embed should only need the activex and embed tags – it’s hard to say from this remote vantage point what the issue could be (can you post a version of this anywhere for us to test?), but here’s two potential culprits:

  1. somehow the movie path in the embed code is not valid
  2. maybe you have really tight activex controls on your box so the flash won’t play?

  i would try with another browser like firefox or the likes to see if it’s browser-specific…also post a version somewhere online for us to try as well!

  hope that helps…
