hi guys thanks for the help but that ddnt seem to help either even tried creating another folder ant placed the swf file init and still no luck the flash bit just flickers but doesnt run
How exactly are you trying to call the file? Are you sure you have entered the correct path all the places you need to? When I checked this out yesterday I simply just added the absolute path using firebug and then the flash was working fine.
The flash will probably work on the lower levels as well if you change the path to /ourNations.swf . I guess that the file is located in the root of the file system, and then you need to include the /.
thanks that worked was just missing the / so just out of curiosity what difference does setting the base do because it wasnt doing anything until i added the / ( i no its supposed to tell it where the file is but that didnt have any effect)

Hi denford
You're referecing the ourNations.swf (which I asume if the .swf file in question) with a relative path to the root of your website.
You should make sure it's given an absolute url to the file like http://www.oceancheshireltd.com/ourNations.swf. Then it will work :)

Hi denford
I think that your problem lies in the path to the swf-file.
The paththat you are using right now is: ourNations.swf according to this snippet:
<embed width="190" vspace="1" hspace="1" height="190" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash" quality="high" base="http://www.oceancheshireltd.com/ourNations.swf" src="ourNations.swf" title="our nations">
The flash will probably work on the lower levels as well if you change the path to /ourNations.swf . I guess that the file is located in the root of the file system, and then you need to include the /.
Does this help?

Hi Denford
Great that you got it working! I think that Jan was trying to say the same as me when he talked about the absolute path though :)
Actually I don't know what the base is supposed to do, I've never used it myself, so sorry can't help you there.
