I have a quick question... I can't seem to get a flash movie to play when it's a part of an html file. I've read about the Satay Method and plan on using that later, but first I need to get it to work at all.<br />
<br />
Here are two different links:<br />

<br />
The first is the direct link to the video so you can see that it does indeed work when I link directly to the video. The second is the page I've tried placing it in. IE just sits there acting like it's loading it, but it never does. Since I've never placed a flash movie into a page before I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated.<!--content-->Is it just me or is the flash much bigger than the space you have allocated for it within the website? Perhaps that is your problem. Try adjusting the size. Or make a html file with only the flash in it and nothing else. If you can get it to play in it all by itself then perhaps it is the size of it that is causing the problem.<br />

~Susie<!--content-->Actually, I've tried making an html file with nothing else in it but the flash movie and it still didn't work.<br />
<br />
As far as I know, resizing it shouldn't cause it not to play.<!--content-->Hi there Primal,<br />
<br />
you have three errors in your code...<br />
<br />
you have <param name="movie" value="video.swf"><br />
This should be movie.<br />
you have <embed src=http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/archive/index.php/"video.swf"..........><br />
This should be movie.<br />
you need the closing tag </embed>.<br />
<br />

coothead<!--content-->Thank you very much, coothead. That's exactly what it was. I had renamed the file from 'video' to 'movie' and forgot to change it in the code.<br />
<br />
Thanks again.<!--content-->
