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 :-/ -roy ---

thanks for you reply! **hostultra** index.htm swf/main.swf **geocities** index.htm both index.htm links to the main.swf in the swf folder on hostultra with ```auto the two index.htm pages are exactly identical in code but one works and the other doesn't. if you want to me to put the actual links, then i will.. i just didnt want to because hostultra has some crazy pop-ups if you open their index.htm.. but thats what i get for using free hosts! ``` ---
