Hi WS

Yes you can. I had a problem like you did with flash buttons in the images subdirectory of a site I am building. They were located in www.mysite.com/mysite/images/flashbutton.swf just as you described with yours.

When I moved the flash buttons up one level to www.mysite.com/mysite/flashbutton.swf then they worked fine. I cant tell you why, but it worked. Maybe one of the Flash wizards can explain it better for you.

But you definitely can use Dreamweaver, Fireworks and Flash here.

Flash, Fireworks and Dreamweaver were meant to integrate with each other. Nowadays they work real well together. The only thing I can think of would be to look at the path to the button, maybe try the next highest and lowest path too. Make sure you dont have the htdocs in the actual path. Flash files are just like any other files, the path must be layed out the same way. Then again, if you used the dreamweaver extension for flash buttons, maybe its just a bug!?.........If you have any more questions, you can also go to my forum and ask me, shamrock, or whoever.................Im thinking about writing some dreamweaver tutorials (easy stuff) for beginners to medium skill levels soon................we'll see!....................froggy.

Thanks for the tips.
I tried to upload my button.swf into the folder you specified
www.mysite.com/mysite
i think what you mean is put the button.swf into the htdocs folder? is that you what you mean?

anyway, i ftp my button.swf into htdocs folder, but!!! i cannot see it anywhere.

anybody has any idea??? hmmm

Another problem, when i tried to run my perl script, it keeps giving me 500 errors. The file is already set to 755. and on the top of the script i put #!/usr/bin/perl ...
If anybody can help me, i'll be glad .. thanks

As froggy said,,you have to have the path correct. I call the .swf files from a couple of differnet folders,,just make sure path is correct in the EMBED tag.

<EMBED SRC="swf/Electrix.swf" WIDTH="150" HEIGHT="240">

<EMBED SRC="Preloader.swf" WIDTH="150" HEIGHT="240">
