Hi everybody,
I hope that someone reading this can help me with what I am sure must be a verys imple problem.
Installed on my P.C I have a piece of software called SWF Text. The software allows easy construction of simple flash animations, such as a static background image, with a moving effect and scrolling text. I have used the software quite a bit and am familiar with how to use it. O.K, so it ain't the most ellaborate software, but it works for me.
I am in the process of creating a new webpage using Topstyle Pro. I have constructed pretty much the whole page and just wanted to replace one static image add with a flash image effect (approx. 162x48px) that I created using the aforementioned software. Unfortunately, if I remove one of my existing images from my newly constructed page and try to replace it with the flash image, all I get is an empty space with a red x, obviously signifying that the image cannot be found.
I have tried placing the flash file in the same folder as my web page and all its other associated images, entering the flash file name into my html code, where a jpg was previously displayed. Nothing shows up.
I have also tried placing the flash file at a remote url and linking to it using the img src = http://www.amindtochange.biz/streaminghfm.swf (click on the link and you'll see the flash) but when this is inserted into the page even this doesn't display anything either. Obviously, I save and refresh my work each time I update it, and have tried opening it in a browser, but still no image displayed.
My question is this. Am I missing something here? Do I have to add some sort of code into my webpage as a pre-loader or something, so that the page can recognise that I want to include a flash file? Or is it simply that it can't be done.
On a final note, I have inserted flash animations created in SWF Text into another website that I have. However, this other website is constructed using an on-line page builder provided by the site host, and inserting flash is simply a matter of clicking a button. So I know that it can't be that difficult to do.
Any feedback gratefully received, before I wear a hole in my head from continually scratching it!!!
