Why can't I see swf files in my webpage?

Question

I created a simple webpage with "Web Page Maker", and uploaded everything to Geocities, including the images and .swf files. But now I can see everything in the webpage, EXCEPT for any swf file. There's just a blank space where they're supposed to be.

Answer 1

This is because u have not installed Macromedia Flash player.

Install it and check the results.

Answer 2

Hi there.

According to Geocities Help,

http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/geo/gfiles/gfiles-24.html

SWF is supported, so the problem is not them, but on your side.

Have you got the coding correct, in the loading SWF syntax?

The usual "sample" syntax is as follows:



Each code may be different tho depending on what kind of flash file you're using (movie, etc).

Also, try installing Shockwave Flash if you haven't already done so, or else, try refreshing your webpage SHIFT-F5.

Hope this helps
