    Default Movie Will Not Upload To Server

    I'm using Dreamweaver CS3. I'm new to Flash and It seem that every time I take 3 steps forward I have to take one back. I've inserted the .swf into the html page, where it resides inside a cell within a table. It plays there, and in Preview In Browser.

    I've uploaded the .html page to the server but the movie (and all the code relating to it) will not go along with the rest of the page contents. There is no trace of any movie coding anywhere on that .html page on the server.

    I have three other Flash movies on this site, all on different .html pages. All the elements of all the Flash movies are in their own folders, all of which reside in one single Flash folder. The other three movies play successfully on the server.

    And on my computer, in Dreamweaver Code View, the correct path to the .swf file is present. Butfor this one movie only, none of the Flash movie code will upload to the server. The URL is www.winterscreen.com. The pages that contain successful movies are: People, Arcadia Rodeo, Wildlife. The page with the missing movie is Black&White.

    Thanks for your help... oslavens

    Hoping someone can help... Thanks... oslavens

    Hi,

    This sounds like a couple possible issues. The first being your using a shared server and the server is "busy" and having trouble uploading the file. The only cure for that is to restart your FTP and hope you get a better connection or contact your webhost for an alternative upload method(secure FTP, etc...). The file can't be linked to from a browser until the entire file has successfully loaded to your website.

    The second possible problem is testing the files online and locally in a browser window. You may need to clear the browser cache for it to load the most recently uploaded file to the server. It could be loading or trying to load a cached page.

    Hi NTD: Thanks darklung: Further exploration revealed there were two versions of the html page on the server. Everything's working great! Thanks for your reply. Glad to know you're around!... oslavens
