Flash not working - do I have it in the wrong place?

[charles_i]

Just started working with GetSimple and I LOVE IT! After searching for months for a well designed, pleasing to look at control panel that is NOT for a blog or newspaper articles - this is perfect!

Question: I'm trying to run a flash slideshow on my home page. I have it linked like this but it's not working:

<object id="Object2" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="data/uploads/fallfair/player_flv_classic.swf" width="480" height="320">
<param name="movie" value="data/uploads/fallfair/player_flv_classic.swf" />
<param name="wmode" value="opaque" />
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="menu" value="true" />
<param name="autoplay" value="false" />
<param name="autoload" value="false" />
<param name="FlashVars" value="configxml=data/uploads/fallfair/fallfair-480-320.xml" />
</object>

and in the template.php header:

<script language="javascript" src="data/uploads/js/AC_RunActiveContent.js"></script>

Is this in the wrong place?

Thanks
Charles

This will only work, if you do not use fancy URLs. If you do, you cannot use relative paths, but must use absolute paths.

I tried it like this with absolute URLs on my WAMP server but no luck. How can I do it without fancy urls?

<object data="http://localhost/serragetsimple/data/uploads/fallfair/player_flv_classic.swf" height="320" id="Object2" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="480">

<param name="movie" value="http://localhost/serragetsimple/data/uploads/fallfair/player_flv_classic.swf" />
<param name="wmode" value="opaque" /><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
<param name="quality" value="high" /><param name="menu" value="true" />
<param name="autoplay" value="false" />

<param name="autoload" value="false" /><param name="FlashVars" value="configxml=http://localhost/serragetsimple/data/uploads/fallfair/fallfair-480-320.xml" /></object>

and

<script language="javascript" src="http://localhost/serragetsimple/data/uploads/js/AC_RunActiveContent.js"></script>

FYI it works with absolute links on a live site - not on localhost.
