How to embed flash into an html document?

Question

I'm currently using the following code to do this:




However, all I see is a white background with nothing showing up. There's an xml file which should be pulling up images kept in the /thumbnails directory with pictures of the correct file name stored in there. The .swf file in question is stored in the root directory. There's nothing wrong with the flash scripts or the xml code (as it works offline very nicely) - or even the html code as far as I can see, as that same code works well offline (with the .swf stored locally). It seems the problems occur only when I try to get it working online. I don't think there's anything wrong with the directories, because I've used the same dir tree on another website and that works fine. Also, I don't think it's anything to do with differing ISPs, because the direct URL to the .swf file works just fine...

There's obviously something I'm missing, but I don't know what it could be. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

If the flash still does not work in your browser, be sure you have the correct plug-in. Flash plug-ins are browser specific.

First, open up your Word document. Then, push Print Preview. Zoom until the shown page takes up the whole window (without being cut off). Push the PrtScrn button on your keyboard. Go to MS Paint, and push EDIT-PASTE. You now have a picture of the page. Repeat for other pages.
