About Setting up Macromedia Flash5

[Unregistered]

Hi All,
Please help me.
I installed Macromedia Flash5 and Dreamware4 on my PC (use Windows 98). I compose the file .html, and run it on my PC. However, when I upload this file to server (use Aphache on Linux), it didn't run.
How can I setup or install in order to my server understanding file .html included Flash5 image/movie (.swt,.fla)
Please help me and mail to : kimanh38@yahoo.com
Thanks a lot.

I believe linux supports three letter extentions.... try using yourfilename.htm instead.

now, did you name this file index.htm (or html) ? WHo is your server? also you should be caling the .swf file NOT the .fla file. The difference is the .swf file is the compressed movie...or the finished product. The .fla file is uncompressed, and is the one you would save, and later re-open to maked edits to inside flash.

Is your swf called right ? Did you use code published by flash or you wrote it yourself ?

The code is something like this


<OBJECT classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=5,0,0,0"
WIDTH=590 HEIGHT=92>
<PARAM NAME=movie VALUE="menu/menu2.swf"> <PARAM NAME=loop VALUE=false> <PARAM NAME=menu VALUE=false> <PARAM NAME=quality VALUE=high> <PARAM NAME=bgcolor VALUE=#FFFFFF>
<EMBED src="menu/menu2.swf" loop=false menu=false quality=high bgcolor=#FFFFFF WIDTH=590 HEIGHT=92 TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash" PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash"></EMBED></object>


I tried to use flash at many unix server and never had problem even with html extension

Good luck
