View the source on the resultant page and display it here (or at least the portion that contains the link to the swf file).
 
There's no technical reason that a Flash .swf won't display in a .cfm page. In fact, they're designed to work together (at least... in MX).

If all you're seeing is white space, or the dreaded bounding box with the "cube" icon, it means you're not coding the
Code:
<object>
and/or
Code:
<embed>
correctly (either the path to the .swf is incorrect and the browser can't find the file, or parameters are incorrect or not specified).
OR, I've seen some issues with browser that have Player 5 not realizing they have to update the player when they hit Flash 6 content.

i wraped my html in <cfoutput> tags and i also changes the path of the swf file in the object to reflect the fact i was calling it from a template in another directory and whooooooo it works fine.


thanks folks !
