Images in Holder - Dreamweaver test

[liz]

This is probably a very basic question, but any help is appreciated.

 

I've constructed a gallery page in flash that contains a Holder for images as part of a website. When I get into Dreamweaver and load my swf and then test my html document in a browser... the images in the Holder DO NOT appear. Is this because they are loaded as external images and they will not be seen until I actually get the website live???

 

Thank you!

it could be a number of things but most likely it has to do with how the flash player resolves paths when it is inserted into a web page.

 

when you test your swf in flash pro all the paths to your images are relative to the swf.

 

when you preview your swf in the context of an html page the paths to the images are relative to the html page.

 

one way of fixing this issue is to set the base attribute in your embed code:

also it could be that your images haven't been copied to the folder that you are using as your dreamweaver site.
