Hi there all,

I've recreated my homepage of which I've used
flash buttons created in Dreamweaver 4. But when I uploaded them to the site
along with the other files they don't show. They seemed to work fine when I
previewed my page on my PC before uploading. Could anybody take a look and
give me some very needed advice as I'm a complete beginner here. This is
only the second time I've built a site so please don't be too harsh in your
analysis's. Thanx in advance. See code below.

Your code is complicated and I use Dreamweaver usually to generate code for me. However I would like to suggest calling your web hosting service and asking if your home page site is supported by MIME type format. I believe you need this to show Shockwave movies, etc. Some web hosting companies only have this for business pages customers. This may be totally wrong info and you may have a different problem but this is the first thing I thought of.
 
Hello JeanZ,

yes you are right, the host(geocities.com) in fact doesn't support Flash Movies and I've since then changed to my ISP's free page ...works fine. Just a quick Q though. You said my code is complicated, what exactly do you mean by this..? Anyway, thanx for your response, much appreciated.
 
I got it!!

When you insert flash look at the bottom option under URL it says &quot;relative to&quot; change that to Document instead of &quot;Site Root&quot;. Fixed the empty white space... yeah!! CHAOS, PANIC, & DISORDER - my work here is done.
