a swf file does not need to be in the same folder as the html you are using?

There may be a script needed for the swf file that does, did you create this swf file yourself or is it a download?

im studying for a degree in creative multimedia and the swf is one that was given to me, it does come with a seperate "report" file, but i dont know what to do with that!
i just added the shockwave!
eech!

or do i link to the actual swf file or the html iv placed it on?

you do not link to a swf you have to <object> <embed> it!

embedding a flash file is a simple process in Dreamweaver, click on the flash object button ..

Go through the help files in dreamweaver..

It sounds to me like there is a part of the Fla you do not have, either a file xml, txt etc or perhaps a video file...?

It's all guessing, but what you are asking is a simple process so should have a simple solution...
