   I have tried every plugin I can find to try and make a simple swf file work on the homepage of a website I'm building. It is a static page in wordpress.

   Here is the page:
   http://www.taylorloftin.com/ladanroxy

   And here is the code I'm using for the flash:

   <div id="homepage_flash">
               <script type="text/javascript">
   AC_FL_RunContent( 'codebase','http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,28,0','width','375','height','500','title','Ladan Roxy','src','roxy_anim','quality','high','pluginspage','http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash','movie','roxy_anim' ); //end AC code
             </script>
               <noscript>
                 <object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,28,0" width="375" height="500" title="Ladan Roxy">
                   <param name="movie" value="/images/roxy_anim.swf">
                   <param name="quality" value="high">
                   <embed src="/images/roxy_anim.swf" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="375" height="500"></embed>
                 </object>
                 </noscript>
       </div>

   Link to the swf file on it's current site: http://ladanroxy.com/roxy_anim.swf

   It is located here on the site I am setting up: http://taylorloftin.com/ladanroxy/images/roxy_anim.swf
   But for some reason, when I open this url, I cannot see the swf file. I'm guessing this is the problem, but how do I fix it?

   I do not know much about flash so it might be something stupid I am doing wrong. I've searched these and other forums for days now and I cannot figure out the solution. Please help!

   I'd recommend using a flash plugin (not pasted full code which the visual editor destroys), using absolute links (full links starting with http), and removing the javascript part of the code. If you want to use javascript in a page or post, see:

   I ended up using the Kimili Flash Embed plugin. I couldn't figure it out at first but I sent him an email and he helped me figure it out. I had to use the base attribute to pull in the images...
