Is it an ACTIVEX problem?

[ealdahondo]

I have a Flash movie on a Dreamweaver page. I'm assuming it's the only way to
publish a FLASH site. I'm not a coder by any means and am having diffuculty
with this. The page loads without the movie.

I have uploaded the html page as index.html. I have also uploaded the
AC_RunActiveContent.js page.



My site is the following: wwww.speakrecordings.com

Is there something I'm doing wrong and a fairly simple way to fix it? I have 3
sites I have to upload, all FLASH. Will I be running into this problem each
time?

I'd appreciate any and all help, THANK YOU!

The problem is that the link to AC_RunActiveContent.js is incorrect, but perhpas this was caused by how you set up your site. The link is:
<script src="../Scripts/AC_RunActiveContent.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

When accessed via your home page, it is trying to go up a level, and you cannot go up a level when your already at the top level of the site.

This issue could be due to have you have your site set up. Many web hosts give you FTP access to a root folder and then within that folder is a folder that contains all the publicly available files, that is where your home page is located (index.html?). If you set up your site to point to the parent folder of the publicly available files (one level up from the web files), then Dreamweaver will create the folder that the AC_RunActiveContent.js file is stored (in a Scripts folder). If you were to drag that Scripts folder into the web folder, then Dreamweaver should ask you to update the paths, have it do so, then upload the Scripts folder in the web folder. The end result should have AC_RunActiveContent.js at the folowing location, which it isn't currently at:
[url]http://www.speakrecordings.com/scripts/AC_RunActiveContent.js[/url]

Please note that if you add another Flash movie to your page, then Dreamweaver will recreate the Scripts folder at the root of the site defined within Dreamweaver, and you'll either have to update the paths or redo the steps above.

You can prevent the issue by having two sites defined, one that points to the root folder of your ftp account, and one that points to the web folder, and that second site is the one that you should do all of your editing of your web pages.

Also, please keep the same problem under the same message thread as it allows others that come later to be able to see any resolution to the problem.

I'm afraid your suggestion did not make sense to me. The following are the only
directories and files on the site server. I do not see where Dreamweaver put
the AC_RunActiveContent.js file. Can you please reply again using the
directories and files below as a reference? Thanks.

It seems that you may have created the page not inside a defined site, or perhaps created the page and didn't save it prior to adding the Flash movie and the path to the script file wasn't updated correctly.

Take a look at the code for your page and you'll see that the AC_RunActiveContent.js files is linked using a file:/// type of path. That will tell you where the AC_RunActiveContent.js file is located on your local system. If that is within the site you're working with, then all you need to do is to upload the Scripts folder to your remote site. In the end the file will need to be found here (which it is currently not present):
[url]http://pennantteamwear.com/Scripts/AC_RunActiveContent.js[/url]


If the file isn't within your defined site, then move the scripts folder referenced in the file:/// path in your code into the root of your site and change the script tag to look like this:
<script src="Scripts/AC_RunActiveContent.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

Then make sure to upload it.
