I have a Flash movie that I'm trying to play on the internet.

I have the same movie on a test server (called 199), and it plays fine. I copied and pasted the code and movie over to another test server (called 194) but it doesn't play at all.

The code and file are the exact same. It doesn't play in IE or FF. In fact, it won't play if I open it up directly (by going to the Explorer and double-clicking the SWF) on 194 OR 199.

It will play on my local machine, though.

So, to recap:

The file plays on my local machine and on the 199 test server through an HTML page.

The file does not play on 199 or 194 through a direct opening of the file, nor does it play on 194 through a web page.

What kind of craziness is going on with this file?

If you need the code, here is what it looks like:

<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
data="iowans.swf"
width="566"
height="350"
id="iowans"
align="middle">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
<param name="movie" value="iowans.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="wmode" value="opaque" />
<param name="bgcolor" value="#000000" />
</object>

Is the SWF in the same directory as the HTML page?
