…other than the background even though I’ve saved! What’s going on? Everything is there when I preview as Flash though. Can anyone help?

Make sure you save the .fla to the desktop and then test the swf first. After that - you can publish as HTML - and it should work ;).
Otherwise, flash will save the html in C:\Program Files\Macromedia\Flash MX. And if you have your swf saved afterwards to somewhere else, it all messes up.

Are you making the HTML file yourself?

no, flash is generating the file.
