Flash Does Not start

[pauseisabove]

Site is: http://gravityskateandwake.com/shop For some odd reason the flash portion (top right hand corner) is not autoplaying it is just showing the the first frame of the swf file and stopping. However if you go to the whats happening page it will autoplay as that page is just straight html. Any ideas on why it would be prevented from running?

Thank you though I already had that code in there. Its weird it just doesnt start ever. If you right click on the movie portion it says the movie is not loaded. Any help would be appreciated

If you use dreamweaver it will automatically put it in there for you typically.

My 2 cents worth....

 

I have been through the forum and multiple contribs to get around this elusive problem of the Flash Not Showing, and after many sleepless hours I have come to the conclusion that there is nly one real way to achieve this easily....

 

Create your FLASH in Macromedia FLASH ...then seal it all into one swf file, the use of Gallery or Image directories in conjunction with XML files is redundant work that deos not need to be done.

 

If you are able to complete a working and likable to your taste Movie and it is all saved into one .swf file then the next trick would be getting it into your page, right...well here is the other easy part....

 

Edit your desired page in Macromedia Dreamweaver, this will put al the proper embed codes for you.....and the line that I have working in my catalog/includes/language/english/mainpage.php files is....

 

<IFRAME marginWidth=0 marginHeight=0 
src="http://yourhost.com/catalog/images/yourflash.swf" frameBorder=0 width=720 
scrolling=no height=400 allowTransparency>
</IFRAME>

 

This can be with your own information in whatever category you choose. Just follow the Absolute address rules as shown above and you will have no problems whatsoever.

 

This can be seen in action here....

I hope this helps by eliminating all those long hours of sleep lost trying to find an answer to this problem for anyone appreciating it....

 

I you need some guidance with this please fell free to contact me through PMing.

 

And BTW this deosn't have a problem with the movie not starting as Dreamweaver allows the option of AutoStart and Looping to be set right in page design.
