I’ve read a here thread almost to distraction, and granted I can be very thick at times … in fact, according to my wife, a lot of the time! Yet …
I’ve dragged an swf file from Bannerfest to an html box on a blank page in FW. In preview, displays fine.
But how do I now upload the swf file to the server so a page references that file, please. And where on the server does it sit?

FW does it for you and places it in your Resources folder with all your other graphics.

Hi Terry
After you have designed your swf, go to the inspecter panal of BannerZest and set it up as to where you want the swf files to sit. (Mine are in: /public_html/swf/walks/walks_1 - after the /public_html/ change it to how you want it.)
So, for it to sit on your server, you check server. You set the other four options as you want, then click publish. BZ then publishes the files to the server.
You then click the ‘Show HTML’ button and the ‘HTML code’ box shows. You copy the code into a ‘Markup’ box in FW and publish, then upload the page to your server.
Hope this helps
Regards

Just to clarify - BZ Pro does give you the option to publish a single file. This file will contain all images and settings.
This option is in the Inspector under the Publish Tab and then choose the SWF tab and Tick the Generate a single SWF file.
Then if you drag this file to your FW page it will be uploaded automatically to your Resources folder for you. No code to copy/paste!

First may I thank you for all help. I really value this forum.
However, I’ve tried everything suggested and loads of other stuff, and still nothing displays on the webpage.
In Preview/preview in browser swf file displays well.
Once on the server, nothing.
I’m wondering if there’s a technique or a server setting I’ve missed

Did you check if the file is uploaded to your webspace using the DeltaDave option directly above this post?
Did you check if the files are on your webspace using the upload function from BannerZest?
Please check this first, because if they aren’t it makes sense you don’t see anything.
I use BannerZest all the time without any problem and use BannerZest’s own upload function. I never generate one single file. When you let BannerZest upload the files to a folder on your webspace the great thing is that BannerZest also gives you the option to copy the code with all the right parameters and path to your server. If you do this any other way you should fill in the exact and correct path to the file on your server yourself. I find this the harder way.
Copy that code, go to your webpage, draw a markup item and paste the code in there. This always work fine for me.

Can you post a link to your online page.

Which version of BZ are you using. I know I have to go into the code in FW and delete one of the urls because it’s in their twice.
Also be sure that you are specifying the folder properly in BZ, it can be a bit tricky.
I’ve also seen where the banner does not show changes in my browser until I’ve deleted cookies, reset the cache, and re-booted my machine.

Hello George,
I’m using Bannerzest 2.1.
Right now I’m following the remainder of your post.
All I can say is there’s something wrong here!
My thanks and will keep you posted.
