Uploaded new updates to my site last night, but I cannot seem to get the swf files to play or even show up in firefox, chrome, ect. I have not checked with any other browsers, but it works fine in IE(not sure of version). Also, it displayed correct when I was previewing it from my local machine in firefox, just not after I had uploaded it to my server, and I cannot figure out why. JS turned on, checked everything that I can. Here is my site:

If it is or is not working for you, could you please let me know, and what browser you are using? I would like to get it up asap, as I am also going to upload a guestbook soon, I just want to make sure it will display!
Thank you for your time,
Skyler

The swf are a poll on my website, and a clock.
I am using dreamweaver. I go to insert>media>flash and then select my swf file from my root. All my files that go along with the swf are uploaded, and it works fine when I preview from my local machine!
Here is a snippet of code concerning the swf in my source:
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#v ersion=9,0,28,0" width="600" height="410" title="loans">
<param name="movie" value="preview.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<embed src="preview.swf" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Versi on=ShockwaveFlash" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="600" height="410"></embed>
</object>
And again, it works like a charm in Internet Explorer, I cannot figure this out.
Thanks again for your help, I really appreciate it!

Most likely a pathing problem/problems.
As in...
path to AC_RunActiveContent.js is absolute on local machine:
<script src="file:///C|/Documents and Settings/Owner/My Documents/My Videos/mag/XML Flash Voting Poll_update06/project/deploy/Scripts/AC_RunActiveContent.js"
Should be relative address on server. So check all addresses.
http://www.skylerloans.com/craigs_alarm_clock.swf
should allow for direct download of .swf but it does not. Most like a wrong path.
