SWF Files not showing
Permalink
I have a problem with SWF files not showing correctly on a website. The only swf file on the site should be found atwww.www.justwearit.com.au/index.php/contact-nsc/...
This should display a map. I have uploaded the swf file to File Manager and I know it works OK outside of the site. I cannot get the file to display. I placed it into the site using the Flash Embed addon however I have also tried using the default Flash Content item. The problem seems to be in the loading of the Flash file.
I have checked the other discussions and have added the following code
to the footer.php file just before the </body> tag.
This is frustrating as I am also not able to see the flash chart in the Statistics addon either. Can someone point me in the right direction.

I once also had a problem where Flash was installed, but Flash content wouldn't show up on any pages. I think it was when Flash Player 9 came out, and I was using IE 7.
The solution was to download the Flash Player uninstaller, run it, then install the plugin again. When you remove the plugin from your browser it still exists on your system, so the uninstaller makes sure that everything is clean.

You can also double check if Flash player is installed correctly by visiting this page:

Thanks for your help. I finally worked out what was going on. I have the site on a dummy URL at present until it releases on Monday. In the File Manager I have the default image location set as the new URL and not the curent one. Therefore the flash file cannot be found.
I just visited your link, and I can see the Flash there just fine. It's a map of Australia, with contact information for different cities?
You might try visiting it using different web browsers to see if it shows up for you. You might also try putting in some content for the "alternate content" section.
The Flash Embed add-on embeds the Flash using a script which detects if you have Flash installed, and if you have a new enough version. If it fails either of these tests (or if Javascript is disabled), it will show the alternate content instead.
If these suggestions don't work, please let me know and I'll continue to help you
