I cannot get a .swf file to show up online. When I preview in a browser
through dreamweaver it works. I made sure the AC.....js file is on the server
and still nothing. I checked the paths...I have looked at 25 different posts
about this with no answer. I just need some serious help. I might need help
from the beginning. Anything will be greatly appreciated.

Please post a link to the webpage with the problem.

It is the home page. There is a blank area to the right...that is where I am
supposed to have the .swf playing. I have the AC_RunActiveContent.js file in
the same folder as my .swf video. I hope you can help.

It is in the same folder that contains the .swf...

This link is broken on your page -

<link href="file:///C|/Users/Conn's Customer/Documents/Desktop/Classroom in
a Book/Dreamweaver Lessons/lesson07/css/main_final.css" rel="stylesheet"
type="text/css" media="screen" />

So is this one - which is why your Flash is not running -

<script src="file:///C|/Users/Conn's
Customer/Documents/Desktop/Scripts/AC_RunActiveContent.js"
type="text/javascript"></script>

It looks like your local site is not properly defined.

Thanks for your time.

I changed the above to this...
</script><a href="MPAPROMO/AC_RunActiveContent.js"><script
type="text/javascript">

And now I am getting this error....

Did you define a DW site for this? If so, what is the path to the local
root folder?

You seem to have things working properly. May want to look again at what
Murray suggested earlier: Site Definition. Thats the first step before you
start creating web pages. All files, images, multi-media etc. for the site
should be located within the "root" folder of the file. If you have external
links, they should be "absolute", which means you could link to a different
website and the link would be something like <a
href="http://www.othersite.com">Other Site</a>

If you start creating web pages before defining a site or linking to files
outside the root folder of your site, dreamweaver will create links of the
kind seen on your webpage:
<link href="file:///C|/Users/Conn's Customer/Documents/Desktop/Classroom in
a Book/Dreamweaver Lessons/lesson07/css/ma....

This of course won't work when you upload the site to a remote server.
