Hi,having trouble getting my head around this problem which is getting a flash movie to play within a normal framed page.
Its plays in a page by itself "next" but not in "Flash3".

Is the CHARTWORKING .fla and .htm requried to be in the "flash 3"
folder.?
Site is www.otcbbtrading.com
Links bottom left
top "flash" link is the "next"folder
Flash 3 is the "flash 3" folder.

Thanks if anyone can help out,any stone throwing welcome

The one that works the.swf file is in htdocs folder.

The ones that don't work have paths problems. one has .html ext and has .htm ext with the same name calling the same .swf file.

Are they the same file or they different files.

Thanks Alpha,I put the .swf file under htdocs instead of htdocs/flash3 and they work now.Is that the way it has to be or can i change the path to make it read out of htdocs/flash3?

In that htdocs /flash3 folder all the CHARTWORKING files .fla .html .swf were what Flash produced ,I think i can remove the .fla and .html ones out.?? I only put them in trying to get it to play. I think the .swf is all it needs.

With the others the Untitled-1-2-3 those are all frames...is that how they are normally ?? Like for folder structure is that how everyone else using frames folder would appear ?
Thanks for your help.

i'm not a flash guru, but i believe the flash player in browsers read *.swf files, not the *.flas.

the *.fla is the native file format in flash, which includes information such as your layers, which palettes were open in flash when you created your movie, etc. the *.swf file is an exported, compacted movie that the flash player reads, so you don't need to upload the *.fla, just the *.swf. (if you compare mymovie.fla and mymovie.swf, the *.fla will be a much larger file.)

hope this helps.
