Re: FLASH: Primitive problem

[King McCarthy]

IE is looking for the gif file on your harddrive.  In IE, put your cursor

over the missing gif file, and right click and select properties (PC).

You'll see where IE is looking for the file.  I have encountered this

before.  Netscape is quite content to pull the file from your harddrive.  If

anyone else looks at this in Netscape, it will NOT showup.  Only on your

computer.  Check your properties bar in Dreamweaver for the correct link.

Make sure the file is uploaded as well.


Hope this helps...

executes Flash site - else - executes www.ushippies.com/NoFlash.html That

works fine for both Netscape 4.7.5 & IE 5.
