hello people.

i am using a free host (hostultra) so the url to the site is [hostultra.com/~username](http://hostultra.com/~username). thats where i store some of my flash files.

most of my pages are located at [geocities.com/username](http://geocities.com/username)

the problem is if i go to [geocities.com/username](http://geocities.com/username) and open my webpage which links back to the swf on hostultra, the flash file doesn’t show up but if go to hostultra/~username, and open up a webpage that links to the same file, the file shows.

the weird thing is that if i go to the hostultra/~username first and then go to the one at [geocities.com/username](http://geocities.com/username), then it works fine everytime until i delete my temp internet files.

sorry if my wording is a little confusing :-/
