Swf isn't running

[ricland]

Need I do anything special with a Flash 8 swf to get it to run?

Here's the html I used with a swf made in regular Flash that worked:

<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#3,0,0,0" width="340" height="220">
<param name="src" value="racist.swf">
<embed src="racist.swf" width="340" height="220">
</embed>
</object>

I didn't change the path or anything.

Not sure what "regular" Flash is. My version of Flash 8 seems pretty regular to me.

But your HTML is for a Flash 3 file. You could try changing "swflash.cab#3,0,0,0" to:

swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0

Better yet, open the FLA file in Flash 8 and then publish it and make sure HTML is selected in the output settings. You'll have the HTML code you need.
