Embedded SWF Preloader Won't Play

[thanser]

Has anyone had this happen to them? There has to be a simple fix for this.

The preloader SWF I made loads the main movie fine, and I can get it to load from the server if I launch the preloader itself.

But, when I embed the preloader.swf file in an HTML page (using Dreamweaver, and a variety of different embed/object techniques), the preloader won't play. It "displays" in the page, but it doesn't load the movie:

Is there a missing parameter to "play?"

Thanks!

Ummmmmh!

Switch your .html to your flash directory and see if that works...

You should maybe even add flash/timeline.swf to your contentPath in your preloader.swf...

That fixed it. Having the two SWF files in the root directory did the trick.

All of my paths were pointing to the SWF's in the folder named FLASH, but it just wouldn't work that way.

Oy Vay!

Thanks!
