You don't mention what exactly is the problem:

- putting the flash in the page so it can work
Read ALA's article at http://www.alistapart.com/articles/flashsatay for the correct coding to insert a flash in a web page.

- making the flash file work in itself
If you mean how to make things work within the flash itself, you'll have to read the manual and/or tutorials on Flash.

Hi,
I too am having problems with this. I am very new to all this and have read the above posts, but my code still is not working. It previews in Dreamweaver just fine and validates, but when I upload the files, the flash video isn't there. Here is my code:

<script type="text/javascript">
AC_FL_RunContent( 'codebase','http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,28,0','width','891','height','373','title','clouds','src','../home/cloudtest1','quality','high','pluginspage','http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash','movie','../home/cloudtest1' ); //end AC code
</script>
<noscript>

<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="home/cloudtest1.swf"
width="891" height="373">
<param name="movie" value="home/cloudtest1.swf" />
<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
</object>

</noscript>

Additionally, inside the <head> tag I have:
<script src="Scripts/AC_RunActiveContent.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

The object code I did myself based on the about pages referencing the Satay method. The javascript code was generated by Dreamweaver. I'm not sure if I need it or not, but it doesn't preview without it. Any help will be GREATLY appreciated!

Without looking at it, it sounds like you didn't upload the file, or you didn't upload it to the location where the page is trying to find it. Can you provide the URL (address) of a document that demonstrates the problem?

Thanks, I actually figured it out! Flash will export the code for you when you publish the swf file, so I just copied that, pasted it into my code and uploaded the files.
