Using this guide I tried uploading a swp file onto a webpage at my reseller. No wordpress, no htaccess rules to worry about, and I get absolutely no flash there to be seen. Page is completely blank.

I have tried it in a xampp folder too. No luck.

The webpage is in html, but I have tried php too.

The flash banners can be seen when they're standalone swf files. At least on xampp, and I'm not going to bother checking that out at the reseller.

There must be something wrong in how I'm uploading the Scripts folder, which the guide says must contain the swfobject_modified and the expressInstall files. All I do is upload the folder onto the folder where the html page with swf embedded is.

I have also tried it in WYSIWYG Builder 7, where I don't think I had to upload any Scripts folder, but probably did. No luck there too.

I assume you are given a Javascript to handle both: installing flash if not installed, and passing parameters to the swf file when displaying it within an <object> or similar tag.

Is this observation correct?

You will need to install the script (so that it may be called in the HTML page) and then use the appropriate code to place the actual swf on the page with parameters you pass it, another guide may be more helpful in this case as it appears brief.

Hiya
Do you know of any other guide? Unfortunately I came across this issue yet again and haven't a clue what may be wrong. Should the script files be kept inside the scripts folder and where should the scripts folder go?

I still can't get flash to work embedded like this on a webpage. Unfortunately I was so tired last time I tried and I thought it so unlikely I'd solve it I just let it be.

Adobe seems pretty convinced about these two files and yet gives no explanation as to where they're supposed to go. How is 'upload' the scripts folder onto your server' any help? It isn't.

Do you mean the js was supposed to do the following: install Javascript if it wasn't installed? It does that, especially with Opera, which detects a need for flash but you install flash and it still claims it needs flash. With Firefox, it also forever asks for this flash. What do you mean by 'passing parameters to the swf file when displaying it as an object'? How can I make sure it's doing this, if this is indeed what's required to make it work?
