Newbie question: .swf & .html separation, please beware

Newbie with a quick question…

The xxx.swf and the xxx.html who has the swf embedded, do they have to be under the same folder.

What I’m trying to achieve:
Embed a swf in a html which is stored independant of (separate folder, or
even server) the swf file.

**Attempted:
**1 - In the html code, entered ‘param value’ and ‘embed src’ in absolute path… *www.webhost.com/path/name.swf

*2 - In the fla(source file), entered the images path as absolute path… *www.webhost.com/path/images/…jpg

*Both attempts, failed… resulting in working buttons, but missing images, etc.
**FLA source:
**Basically, it’s straight off the flash help/tutorial… Titled: **Building Your First Flash Application

**Location: c:…\your flash installation\Samples and Tutorials\Tutorial_assets\cafe_townsend

Note: I know putting the .swf and .html file together would work. But I’m trying/attempting to make banner that’s portable. Do I have the wrong concept? Or it’s a wrong example/template to start with…?

Thank you all~

Hi, the attempt you made should have worked. I suspect its a Syntax error. You should post the FLA and HTML document in order for us to help you
