Adding a Flash movie in HTML: Where does EverWeb publish assets so I can point to proper location?



User: Richard W. 10 years ago
Hello, I am a new EverWeb user, and so far I am very happy with the program!

I have created a page with an HTML snippet, which includes the embedding of a Flash movie (called "main_jc.swf"). I've added the .swf file to my assets (under "external files"). However, when I publish to a local folder my Flash movie doesn't load. I only see a white box. When I look at the local folder, I don't see the "main_jc.swf" file. Perhaps my HTML coding is wrong, but I assumed the file would be with my other external files. Please help!

Here is the HTML code in the snippet:

The code I entered above was read as code, and not text! I hope putting it in quotes helps:

You need to replace the back/forward arrows with the appropriate HTML entity for the code to appear.

You can also use this website to convert it.

Otherwise you can contact me here…

Thank you, Roddy. When I published to the server my Flash movie played perfectly. It didn't show up when published to my local folder on my computer. Problem solved!

Flash is not used much nowadays since it doesn't work on iPhone/iPad and a large percentage of viewers are likely to view your site on the latter.

The playback method of choice is to use HTML5 with flash fallback for out of date browsers. A flash file or a flash player will not play locally due to the security settings on your Mac. See the note at the bottom of this page…
