Flash movie dosen't preview in browser?

I have a small flash movie that dosen't preview in either of the browers I use. If I click on the "play" button it plays just fine. What is not correct about the setup?

TIA.

Are you sure you have Flash Player installed for your Browsers? Are the .swf
files stored within your site folder?

Charles,

All files are where they are supposed to be and I have the Flash Player installed in both browsers.

Just a guess, since a look at the page's code would give more info:
When previewing, you're actually viewing a temporary file created by DW
and that should end up in the same directory as the original file to
keep document relative links working. What happens if you save the page
and open the "real" file through the browser. Will you see the flash then?
If so, I think it might be something about the links and/or your site
definitions that makes the temporary files end up in wrong directory
and, hance, will make the links to the .swf invalid.
