SWF graphic shows on one page but not another!

[stubarny1]

Hello everyone,

I have a SWF banner advert showing at the top of http://www.pilotjobsnetwork.com for Oxford Aviation (if the non-SWF Rishworth Aviation banner is showing please refresh the page until the Oxford Aviation advert shows).

But if you look at http://www.pilotjobsnetwork.com/jobs/NI ... fahrt_GmbH only the non-SWF Rishworth Aviation banner advert shows (when the Oxford Aviation SWF banner should be showing there is just a blank space).

The following code is used on both pages to show the Oxford Aviation advert:

<OBJECT classid='clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000' codebase='http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shoc ... n=6,0,40,0'
WIDTH='728' HEIGHT='90' id='Oxford_Aviation'>
<PARAM NAME=movie VALUE='Oxford_Aviation_2010_October.swf'>
<PARAM NAME=quality VALUE=high>
<EMBED src='Oxford_Aviation_2010_October.swf' quality=high WIDTH='728' HEIGHT='90'
NAME='Oxford_Aviation' ALIGN='' TYPE='application/x-shockwave-flash'
PLUGINSPAGE='http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer'>
</EMBED>
</OBJECT>

(I've saved the "Oxford_Aviation_2010_October.swf" file to both http://www.pilotjobsnetwork.com directory and http://www.pilotjobsnetwork.com/jobs directories but still nothing)

I'd be really grateful if someone could point me in the right direction with this.

Many thanks.

Stu

that is I clicked on both links and they where showing different I am not sure it could be something in the coding or the link its self I am not 100% sure and I do not want to try and show you if I am not sure.

seems like you would want the "Oxford_Aviation_2010_October.swf" to be in the "pilotjobsnetwork.com/jobs/NIKI_Luftfahrt_GmbH" directory since it isn't defining a directory in teh script it's just looking for the file in the same place that the html is in. so put that swf in the exact same directory as the html you are linking it on and it should work just fine.

If you already have the flash file in the document root, it doesn't make sense to duplicate the file elsewhere just to satisfy a pathing configuration.

Simply change

Code: Select all

<PARAM NAME=movie VALUE='Oxford_Aviation_2010_October.swf'>

to

Code: Select all

<PARAM NAME=movie VALUE='/Oxford_Aviation_2010_October.swf'>

which makes it look in the document root
