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](http://www.webhost.com/path/name.swf)
\*2 - In the fla(source file), entered the images path as absolute path… \*[www.webhost.com/path/images/](http://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
