Template Problem: Tiling background image gone and duplicate .swf headers

Question

Problem 1: I have been working with a template, and creating
new files from the template without incident. Recently I created a
new file from the template and found that the tiling background
image (dots appearing on the right and left of the page) was gone.
The tiling image is present in the template, but not in files
created from it. Any guess how I broke that?
Problem 2: In my template I have an editable region wherein I
can place a .swf animation. When I upload my page made from the
template, a pair of .swfs appear stacked on top of each other, not
just the single .swf graphic. Any guess what I am doing wrong
there?
The problem page can be viewed here (
Shop
Page), and the template files are located here (
Template
right-click and Save-As).
I appreciate any help you can offer.

This will ALWAYS happen when one of the following obtains:
1. The linked file is OUTSIDE the root of the current site.
2. DW *THINKS* that the linked file is OUTSIDE the root of
the current site
(how could this happen? Here's a for example - the path to
the root folder
looks like this -
C:\whatever\joe's files\blah blah blah\thefilename.jpg
Fix either of those issues, and the problem will go away.
Might that be your problem?
