I'm rejigging a site due to a change in company name including reuploading a Flash animation on to the home page. The original version works smoothly.

 

Both versions seem to have "embed" code automatically inserted yet in the second version.

 

1. The Flash file has been inserted wrong with a double fileending ".swf.swf" which means that the image does not apppear.

 

2. When I use Firebug to delete the surplus filending the animation appears but not where it should be.

 

Any ideas?

Right. URLs altered, automatically inserted code in bold.

 

<div id="fp_flash_holder">

<script language="javascript">

if (AC_FL_RunContent == 0) {

alert("This page requires AC_RunActiveContent.js.");

} else {

AC_FL_RunContent(

Where does the automatically generated code come from? Find out where it's being generated as there are instances where the code takes the filename and adds the extension which is coded separately, so use the filename without the extension and then with luck the result will probably only have one .swf.

bump - not even sure where the atomated code might be coming from.

Dont understand flash but logic tells me if i edit this line

 

src', 'http://www.,,.co.uk/webdev/Flash/,%20,%20boat_251010.swf',

 

To

 

src', 'http://www.,,.co.uk/webdev/Flash/,%20,%20boat_251010',

 

Of course that could be utter crap

The obvious worked to an extent - thanks!

 

However while the double filending problem is solved the image still isn't coming up.

I don't like the look of this filename

http://www.,,.co.uk/webdev/Flash/,%20,%20boat_251010.swf

and in the embed tag:-

http://www.,,.co.uk/webdev/Flash/,%20,%20boat_251010.swf.swf"

 

The %20 is inserted automatically into a space, so perhaps you should get rid of the spaces by using - or _
