<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Verdana size=2><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana">Some of my html pages are in a
folder, 2 directories down from the swf file to be embedded. Normally I
would just insert the swf file location as “../flash_file.swf” as opposed to
just “flash_file.swf”. This doesn’t seem to work using swfObject.
For example, the following script doesn’t load my swf at
all:<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>

style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana">This problem also seems to stop
swf files from being displayed when I publish from a Template in
Dreamweaver. This isn’t the end of the world, but sometimes I’d like to
see how the swf sits in the page, even if it is only a
Template.</SPAN></FONT><FONT face=Verdana><SPAN

<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Verdana size=2><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana">Simliar to problem 1. I have
pages in folders that are 2 directories down from the swf file to be
embedded. This swf file acts as a navigaion bar for the website. In
order for the nav to work once it’s loaded in to one of the ‘buried in folders’
pages, I normally have to use the BASE attribute when the swf is inserted.
I got this tip from here: <o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
