Help, flash embed in html refuses to work!!!

[phoenixmaster]

Hi all,

i have encountered a problem in building a site for one of my friends. Its basically a very simple flash .swf (menu and some animation) embedded into a standard html page with no javascript of fancy stuff. The flash displays fine when i view the page in the folder i use it to work in, but when i copy and paste both the page.html and the flash.swf out onto another place, say the desktop, or onto a thumbdrive, the flash fails to display entirely. I have redone the html again and again with no effect, also using both firefox 3 and ie7 there is no difference.

Could any of you experts please advise me as to what on earth is going on here? is it a bug? Thanks...

What's the link?

You say there is no javascript, but you need javascript to embed the movie. What directory does the html pull the .swf from?

Well, firstly i meant other than the embed src and that stuff, there is no other non-basic html type of coding present. Secondly, the link is just "flash.swf" there is no directory. It doesnt go file://c or whatever. Made sure of that. Which makes it all the more puzzling!

I'd love to give you a link, is there a way i can do that?
