Embedding flash in sidebox

[jvanree]

Hi,

I'm trying to embed flash into a sidebox using flash hacks (downloaded from this site) The default flash thing is working but my own isn't. I know for sure I'm doing something wrong since I'm only a newbie to flash.

The files I'm trying to implement are available for review on http://www.shona-stoneart.nl/cat.rar, the link to the store is http://www.shona-stoneart.nl/, the flash thing is on the right hand side (not nicely spaced out yet but it will be... I first need to get it to work.

Thank you a ton in advance for your help... and sorry that I'm being such a noob!

Anybody please? I really am trying but I can't figure it out

try changing:
swfobject.embedSWF("flash/Slideshow.swf",.....

to

swfobject.embedSWF("/flash/Slideshow.swf",....

and also in the OBJECT tag add the "/" in front of the path.

See if that makes it work.

Thank you very much for your reply, it's quite late at this side of the big blue pond now but I'll try it tomorrow and let you know how it works out!

Looks like your Slideshow.swf and all the images need to be in the same folder in order to work. One file you had in your cat.rar is flashobject.js. That's a old version make sure you don't run it. I'm not sure how your file structure is, using your cat folder..

'www.shona-stoneart.nl/cat/Slideshow.swf'

Then your tag should be...

swfobject.embedSWF("cat/Slideshow.swf",

If that desn't work, then use the full url 'http://www.shona-stoneart.nl/cat/Slideshow.swf'
