OK heres the deal guys… Normally I use dreamweaver to just throw my .swf files into my web pages…BUT the way that dreamweaver embeds the flash files does not work with the preloader that I’ve made. SO I ended up using the FLASH export HTML publish feature thingy…which works GREAT! Only problem is I don’t want my SWF file to be in the same directory of the HTML file… so…

All I want is to be able to change the location of where this code is getting my SWF file! I pasted the code and the 2 parts that I changed are highlighted…. (I added Flash/ in front of the file name) IT DOSENT WORK! Why?? Thanks everyone!

is the map flash in the same dictionary as the page u load ur flash in? if it is 1 map up u should add …/ to the path. if its located in a map underneath, u should add that map 2 (example: swf/flash/preloader.swf)
