I’m extremely sorry if this question seems to simple or something. But I am trying to learn Flash 8 on my own, so I have a steep learning curve.

In my personal web-site, I designed a nice vector based Flash animation for my intro page. The animation previews fine in both Flash, and when imported into my Dreamweaver page.

Hoever, when updating the server with my pages and files, it won’t play for anyone else. The only time it actually plays as it should (when directly accessing it) is when I go to the web-page on my personal computer (the one that made it) through Internet Explorer.

Firefox and Netscape don’t acknowledge the animation. For reference, it should be on the intro page for [www.emergestudios.org](http://www.emergestudios.org).

Does anybody know what the issue might be?

The .SWF works when I put a link directly to “intro.swf” but not when people visit my page immediately.

Thanks for your time, and sorry if the issue seems juvenile.
