embeding flash with dreamweaver

[MrMJS]

Ok, I embed my flash movie in dreamweaver, then i preview in browser and everything looks just great but when i upload the html page you can't see the movie online :mad: all other html objects work fine though... any thoughts on this?

Would have to see your code or a link to the site.

<table width="771" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">

</tr>
</table>

there is the part of the code that has the swf. I'm also using dreamweaver templates and the swf is in a editable region

I have never seen Dreamweaver do code that way. I just did one for school and this is the code generated by Flash for an html page. If you change the highlighted (and any I might have missed) areas yours should work ok.

<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,0,0" width="550" height="400" id="skillsDemo" align="middle">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
<param name="movie" value="skillsDemo.swf" /><param name="quality" value="high" /><param name="bgcolor" value="#0000ff" /><embed src="skillsDemo.swf" quality="high" bgcolor="#0000ff" width="550" height="400" name="skillsDemo" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" />
</object>

I don't let Dreamweaver install code that I have no use for or don't know what it controlls.

Sounds like the movie isn't on the server or is at another location. Check you really have uploaded the swf file to where the src is pointing to.
