Hi everyone, I have a really odd problem with a flash file in my html, using dreamweaver i have put my swf file into my html page, once i preview the page and once online a box appear around the swf file when the mouse hovers over it, im really confused as to why this is as the file is not hyperlinked in anyway, any help would much appreciated, Leanne (im using IE) ---

yes, I too face the same problem… I get a box round any swf file… it also gives a message (tooltip kind) saying “click to activate and use this control”. Only once I click on it my flash gets activated… why is this happening??:look: ---

thankyou for the link, im just following the tutorial on the font page, however i cant seem some of the test im surposed to copy, the code thats surposed to following this paragraph : [LIST=1] [\*]Now, use the following Flash script to generate the HTML tags required for displaying your animation. Enter your animation (SWF) file’s path relative to your HTML file, the width of your animation, and the height of your animation and press the oversized Generate Code button:[/LIST]is that just me or is it really missing, Leanne ---

if you fill in the details e.g the swf path: width: height: then click generate code button, thats where it will be.
