Flash cannot load on mac local host

1

Hi,

I am trying to use the localhost server on my macbook for website development (instead of doing testing by ftp). I downloaded the files from my webserver to the Site folder on my macbook. The Apache is running. My site is flash and make use of the SWFAddress class. The AC_RunActiveContent.js file is in the same folder as the index.html file. When I try to open the page http://localhost/~USERNAME/mysite in firefox, the title and favicon loaded properly, but the embedded flash could not be displayed. However, the same set of files works alright on the remote web server.

I thought it might be problem with the directory and I have tried ./swf/home.swf, swf/home.swf, /swf/home.swf in the index.html file but none work. I already tried changing all the swf/home or …/swf/home.swf or whatever to swf/home.swf but still the flash does not load.
I am posting this index.html coz despite all the discrepancies, it works on the remote server.

Would this be problem relating to the SWFAddress class?

What may be the problem?

The directory structure is as follows :

mysite
–index.html
–AC_RunActiveContent.js
–swf (folder)
----home.swf

Thanks a lot!
