I’ve been using dreamweaver and flash for some time now and I’ve not run into this problem yet. but… for some reason when I import a .swf file into an html page and I push it to the server, everything shows except the swf file.

The funny thing is that it previews in dreamweaver fine. It’s just when it’s published to the server that I have problems. I could use some advice. Thanks!
