Hi,

I am not sure if this will solve your problem, but I embed a flash file in a
..asp page and it loads fine. I put it in a table so as to position it according
to my preferences.

Here is the code:

<!-- Table needed to center the header correctly -->
<table height="660" width="950">
<tr>
<td align="right" valign="top" width="932">

<!-- Insert "Header" Flash graphic (displaying the top header and menus) -->
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#ve
rsion=4,0,2 ,0"
width="900" height="655" align="center">
<param name=movie value="HomePageConstr.swf">
<param name=quality value=high>
<param name="wmode" value="Transparent">
<embed src="HomePageConstr" quality=high
pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?
P1_Prod_Version=Shockwave
Flash" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="900" height="655">
</embed>
</object>
</td>
</tr>
</table>

I hope this helps,

Hi, I have created a movie and tested it by loading it directly into my browser
from my server http://www.cbdlondon.com/test/brochure.php?id=23LBR

I am using a query string to determine the path to the movie and the fact that
I can see the "loading" graphic tells me that the php in there is generating
the URL correctly.

So why doesn't it load? I have tried embedding it with Dreamweaver and tried
using a List Apart's Flash Satay method, both to no avail.

Any help would be appreciated...

Supplementary question, is there any reason I shouldn't just link to the FLA
directly?
Thanks

No... doesn't really address the problem but thanks. Can anyone else suggest a potential reason for this happening?

I am rather desperate. Thanks.

I suspect some security issue like referring to text file in a different
directory or something similar. As I download your swf to my local m/c and run,
it is stuck up in the same place! Publish a html in the same directory as swf
and see if redirecting to that html from php works!

Thanks & Regards,
Satish
