Okay, so I have this great full flash site I made in Flash. It contains 13 pages that have levels that load onto a main navigation page. So, I published each of my 13 pages settings in Flash and HTML and JPG and GIF (not sure if I even need those last two?). Anyway, I went to upload my pages using the FTP in Dreamweaver. Now my flash movie works just fine in Dreamweaver but it does not show up on my website at all. I have my home page in Dreamweaver set to "index.htm", so does that not mean that when someone types in my website address (www.lushmedspa.com) that the index.htm page is supposed to load (which contains my main flash navigation page)? Well, it's not. Actually when you go to www.lushmedspa.com my server looks like it's trying to load a huge file and then crashes out. What should I do? Any thought? :confused:

possible problems:
1) you didn't upload the swf files
2) you changed the name of the html and/or swf file after you published it. This can cause serious problems if you are not aware of what happens
3) (In MY case) when you publish in Flash, the default extention is html in dreamweaver it is hml, perhaps you got this mixed up some how.
4) Forget Dreamweaver, and upload ALL the files again using Internet Explorer (ftp.yoursite.com) or mySQL/php admin
5) if this fixed your problem, plz read my signiture :)
