I have created a site using Flash MX, when I test it in Flash everything works beautifully. However, when I go to publish the site I get this message:

“The HTML template for this document contains a tag which requires additional formats to be selected and published. Publish will proceed without creating this file. Publish will write the corresponding filename to the destination HTML file.”

I have uploaded the files anyway to the hosting service to see what would happen and some of the buttons don’t work. I am assuming the problem is there but when I go back to my Flash file I am not sure what I am looking for, everything looks like it is okay. Any suggestions?
