i downloaded a php script file… when i preview on html, it has a picture somewhere in the table the script has this line … src=image.gif the source of the image in html must be from that line rite?, when i want to change it to image.swf ( so that the empty space replace by flash animation instead of gif image), i cannot see the flash file in html.
