Re: Playing Flash



So to confirm - the .swf is actually in the directory that the HTML
is, on your PPC ? I would try using a local path such as

"\My Documents\HTML\FolderPath\flasman.swf" and see if it works then.

BTW it worked for me, I just did the same as you (adjusted their code
for 'brokennesss') . BTW(2) Why have you got 'flashmanwm.swf' when
their file is called 'flashman.swf' ?
