Will Flash run in cgi-bin?

[amyr61]

I hope this is the right place for this... I have a classifieds ads site created from HTML templates which included a Flash logo. The ad templates are in a folder below public_html, called classifieds_templates. The cgi-bin is on the same level as the templates folder.
The .html files in the public_html folder display the Flash. The ad pages do not. I put the .css, header.js, flash.txt, logo.swf, menu.js, and Flash folder with the logo.fla, file in the classifieds_template folder. The menu and .css display correctly, but the Flash just won't run.

It seem like this is a simple path problem, but I'm in such a muddle and getting nowhere. Any advice would be appreciated.

I don't know anything about Flash, but it does sound like a simple path problem. Can you post the path to an ad file that calls the Flash animation, and can you post the code from that file that actually calls the animation? Change the domain to "example.com" or the moderators here will edit it out.

Well... I finally hired someone to fix this problem - which he did in about 20 minutes from the time he got my initial Email, and very reasonably also. This guy is great! Here is what he did....

about your flash issue. I have no idea why the company who created this did it, but they were calling an external text file to load in the flash. The flash was playing on the page you needed ... it just wasn't showing the text. In addition, the flash was calling the text file from a relative url and not global so I have to go in and change the flash file to do that as well.
