I couldn't get .swf file to play.
I was playing around with GS on a local server. I have a site that was made from static pages using a bit of SSI. On the main page I had such a piece of code:

<div>
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="flash/clock104.swf" width="150" height="150">
<param name="movie" value="flash/clock104.swf">
<param name="quality" value="high">
<param name="menu" value="false">

<param name="wmode" value="opaque">
<img src="images/alarmclock04.gif" alt="No flash player installed or error" width="150" height="150">
</div>

And this displayed some clock on the main page of my site (vladwebclub.com)
I tried to implement this in GS - but in vain. I uploaded the files clock104.swf and alarmclock04.gif and
tried to insert the code into the sidebar of the Cardinal Theme like a component. I checked the paths - no luck. .swf doesn't show up. Is there something I don't know?

Make sure the paths are relative to your GetSimple root or absolute.

Is that your complete code for the div ? There is no closing tag for <object>.

I found that I had to set the .swf file permissions to 'execute' to get a CAPTCHA audio player to work.

OK, the problem is solved
When I was about to kill myself because of despair I found out that one of the letters in the .swf filename was Russian 'c' instead of English.
Now everything ids fine thanks for replies
