Flash into dw wont go....

Question

Dear All
I am using studio 8. I am wanting to insert a .swf file into
a section of a webpage index.html using DW8.
I place the .swf into the root folder, where the index.html
file is.
If i cut and paste teh code produced by flash into DW then
all is fine. It works on my remote server and my laptop.
However, if I attempt to use DW menus/commands to do this
autmoatically as in "common-tasks->flash" and select the .swf
file. A gray placeholder appears. When I press run all is fine.
When I use F12 to preview all is fine.
However if I then attempt to run the file from a my local
apache server I get errors messages. The page loads fine as before,
but the flash swf is simply not there. It doesn't work when its
uploaded either. It tells me that
AC_FL_RunContent is not defined and points to this line of
code that DW has inserted.
AC_FL_RunContent( 'codebase','
http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,19,0','wid th','220','height','140','title','fred','src','teacher_advert','quality','high','pluginspa ge','http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer','movie','teacher_advert'
); //end AC code
The site has run totally fine before.
I am at a bit of a loss to know how best to put a .swf into a
webpage really.
Any advice please?
many thanks Edward

Answer 1

Upload the Scripts folder that DW has placed in your site on
inserting this
Flash.
