your HTML files “call” the .swf file. Browsers view the HTML file for properties, and then view the swf through the HTML page. If this is still confusing, please do a search on the forums for this question, it has been answered many times before. Otherwise, if you still are confused, ask again… Rev ![](http://www.aulman.com/rev.gif) ---

^ So you have to upload them both in the same directory. ---
