Flash movie won't load

Hi!

I've copied a swf and html file to my web site. When I try to display it the page hangs.

Here is a simple one:
http://www.chillson.com/test/fly20020429/pathdg.html

this loads just fine on my pc.

Do I need something besides the swf and html files?

here is the html:

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>PatHdg</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY bgcolor="#99CCFF">


<OBJECT classid="clsid

27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=5,0,0,0"
WIDTH=700 HEIGHT=200>
<PARAM NAME=movie VALUE="PatHdg.swf"> <PARAM NAME=quality VALUE=high> <PARAM NAME=bgcolor VALUE=#99CCFF> <EMBED src="PatHdg.swf" quality=high bgcolor=#99CCFF WIDTH=700 HEIGHT=200 TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash" PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash"></EMBED>
</OBJECT>
</BODY>
</HTML>

Hi phillson,

Are both html and swf files in same directory.

Try placing both files in your htdocs directory and see if it works.

I think the browser is looking for the swf file in your htdocs directory.

Boy is my face red!!!!

I have ws-ftp set to change all filenames to lower case. But I had the swf file name with upper and lower case.

Problem is solved.

Thanks!!!!
