Hi--I need help bringing my swfs into dreamweaver. They don't show up when I upload the dreamweaver files to my server. Anyone?

Have you uploaded swf to the server?

I've tried that and no go. You have to publish the swf for html, correct? I've tried it both ways (just as a straight swf and published for html), brought it into dreamweaver and I just get a blank screen when I upload it to the server. I know I'm probably making this much harder than it needs to be but what am I doing wrong?

There is a site for Flash File Format questions at www.swf.org. You might get some help there.

1 Use Flash to create a Flash movie (SWF) file. Copy this file to the same folder as the Dreamweaver HTML document, in your root directory.

2 In Dreamweaver, select the location of the page where you wish to add the Flash content (including inside a table cell or frame).

3 Click the Insert Flash button in Dreamweaver's Object palette, or choose Insert> Media > Flash. Browse to and choose the SWF file.

4 Upload both the SWF and HTML files to your Web server, placing them in the same directory.
