I’m having trouble with my embedded flash movies. I’ve uploaded both the swf’s and the fla’s to my server in the same directory as my html file which I used Dreamweaver to place the movies. What am I doing wrong? Here is the address for anyone who may have the time to help.

Maybe I’m missing something, but I don’t see any problem.

As to your question… No, the .fla’s don’t need to be uploaded. Just the .swf’s and whatever launches them; html, htm files.

I don’t see any problem with this site either. Maybe you need to update the flash plug-in on the computer you are using.
