   Good morning,

   I'm trying to embed a flash header onto my blog posts with flash buttons that take users to different places, but none of the buttons work! The SWF file is fine as I use the same copy on my website; is there something special I need to activate in order to have the buttons work?

   Here's the code I have embedded:

   [kml_flashembed movie="http://www.sarasotapropertygroup.com/flash/header_fv8.swf" height="368" width="980" /]

   Thanks in advance!

   I figured it out, thanks to the support forums :) Durr, how does this internet thing work again?!?

   In my header file I was calling the absolute URL:

   http://www.myawesomesite.com/flash/myflash.swf

   when what I SHOULD HAVE done was tell the code the SWF file was on the same domain:

   ../flash/myflash.swf

   That simple, worked like a charm.

   I was wondering how you fixed this? I'm also having trouble with my buttons, however when I use relative paths I get no flash. I obviously have them linked wrong.

   Could you give me an example of the path of where your flash is hosted on your site and the base attribute.

   jnforyou, I don't understand "how I had my blog url interpreted through browsers." Can you elaborate?

   My flasher header links don't work, and I need specific info for how to fix them. Thanks to you (or anyone who can help me).

   Here's my problem: The flash header has an absolute link: (example)

   http://www.quarterpathinn.com/williamsburg_va_calendar_of_events.html

   But when I use kimili (or anything else) to embed the .swf file, i see that the link, once embedded, calls for:

   http://www.quarterpathinn.com/blog/williamsburg_va_calendar_of_events.html

   In other words, SOMETHING inserts the word "blog" into my URL, and so the link fails.

   Can someone help me?

   Thanks!

   Susan
