I'm experienced in flash, but a newbie in PHP (running 7.9)- so here's what I
want to do (It seems fairly simple)

-I have a link on my homepage that will lead to a content page
-On this content page I want an embedded flash movie to play
-So I published an swf and html file and uploaded the swf to my server
-I then copied the html into the content page
-I also went into my config.php page an allowed the tags "embed" "object" and
"param"

So when I check the content page, nothing shows up.

Can somebody walk me through or just let me know what step I'm missing?

Thanks in advance!

got an url?

I did not have to change anyting in my config.php page, so I am unaware of
that requirement.

Hi Jon-
Thanks for getting back to me. I don't have it set up just yet because I don't
want a broken link on my homepage
But the URL is www.collegeuniv.com

The link directly to the content page is:
http://collegeuniv.com/html/modules.php?name=Content&pa=showpage&pid=39

But there's nothing on that page at the moment either (this is the page where
Id like my flash movie to show up on)

If you wouldn't mind- could you just go through the steps you took to get it
to work on your site?

Thanks again for the reply, I really appreciate it.

Mike

your procedure sounds fine.

You should probably setup a test page - copy modules.php to
test-modules.php, and then publish that and put your flash code in there.

Some suggestions to try
1. Try it with just the HTML file that Flash publishes to eliminate any
problem with your server script.

2. View the source returned by the PHP script and validate in DW or other
HTML validation tool for possible HTML errors.
