    I am trying to get my DNN to display my flash SWF files. I am trying to ue the HTML editor to paste my Flash's HTML, and I have placed the SWF into the DNN folder, now when I calick update on the HTML editor, all I get is an empty container with a "click or pres space bar to activate the control" This is how I used to do it with my old Portal Starter before I changed over to DNN. How do I get these SWFs on my site?

    Thanks

    Mark

    Mark, the long explination is that because Microsoft lost a lawsuit they published an upgrade to IE which will not auto play any plug-in module includeing Flash and Active X. The "click to activate" message is the result of the lawsuit. You have to use a different embed method to place the Flash object on the page that uses an external .js file to call the plug-in. You can find this method at Adobe.com or in the latest version (check for the update) to Dreamweaver.
