I am new to Dreamweaver, and having a problem with my Flash movies working properly. I have an original .swf loaded into a table. This movie calls other movies to load at _root level based on the decisions of the end user. However, I can only get the first .swf to work. I have all of my .swfs in a folder located in my site folder. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

You might be having the same problem I had when I started working with flash movies that are placed in a web page. Basically what you have to do is go to your .fla file, and from your actions panel, change each movie location to "/folderwhereyoukeepyourswfmovies". Of course without the quotation marks.
This problem is caused by the location of the actual page where you placed the movie. When you place a flash movie in a page, the location of the flash movie changes in relative to the rest of the other movies, even if all movie files are in the same folder.

This is how I organize my files; of course is personal preference, every body has their own way.

/flash
/docs
/images
/zip
/media
/scripts
default.asp

Any .swf file used within default.asp needs to be changed to point to /flash/ . That change needs to be done in the actual .fla file.

Now, if you don't have the original .fla files, I suggest you place all your .swf movies in the same folder where you have the page that launches those movies.

Hope this helps.
