Hello,

I hope I am posting this to the correct forum. I have a feeling my problem is very minor, but I’m new to this area so I am seeking help from more experienced users.

I had a few animations created for me at scriptlance, but I am having trouble adding them to my ebay auctions.

First, here are the three files I received from the programmer:

[http://www.commutergenius.com/flash/delivery/arrows.swf](http://www.commutergenius.com/flash/delivery/arrows.swf)  
[http://www.commutergenius.com/flash/delivery/arrows.txt](http://www.commutergenius.com/flash/delivery/arrows.txt)  
[http://www.commutergenius.com/flash/delivery/delivery.htm](http://www.commutergenius.com/flash/delivery/delivery.htm)

If you click on the third link, you’ll see it works just fine, and they will run fine locally using this html:  
\<object classid=“clsid ![](http://www.macromedia.com/webforums/forum/images/i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif)27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000” codebase="[[color=#0000ff]http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0"[/color]](http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0) width=“600” height=“300”\>  
\<param name=“movie” value=“arrows.swf”\>  
\<param name=“quality” value=“high”\>  
\<embed src=“arrows.swf” quality=“high” pluginspage="[[color=#0000ff]http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"[/color]](http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer) type=“application/x-shockwave-flash” width=“600” height=“300”\>\</embed\>  
\</object\>

But I really want to put this in my eBay auctions, so I change the value=“arrows.swf” to value="[[color=#800080]http://www.commutergenius.com/flash/delivery/arrows.swf"[/color] and embed src=“arrows.swf” to embed src="[url=“http://www.commutergenius.com/flash/delivery/arrows.swf”][color=#800080]http://www.commutergenius.com/flash/delivery/arrows.swf"[/color]](http://www.commutergenius.com/flash/delivery/arrows.swf) , but it doesn’t work any longer.

Does this mean there is a problem with my .swf file? Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks for your help.
