After you have imported them, you need to reinsert/link to them, then use the File Menu | Preview in
browser, not the Preview tab.

> Thomas,
> Thanks for info.  As you suggested, I imported them into my active Web page from the folder that I
had moved them to using Windows Explorer.  But I still could not see the flash file in the
FrontPage2003 Preview mode.  Also, when I double clicked on of the FLA files in Explorer, I got the
message asking what program do you want to use to run the file.  When I browsed to find the
Macromedia flash player, it was nowhere to be found.  It's as if the flash player download did not
work only I got the "successful" message after a couple of seconds after clicking the button on the
Macromedia Download site.  This occurs in both my laptop Windwows XP Pro and desktop Windows 2000
Pro.
