Flash content only displays locally

Hi,

On my site the navigation menu is done in flash, but it only displays if I open the site locally on my laptop (not online from my server).

My site is at http://www.darknet-vortex.co.nr, if you want to look. I created a separate page to test flash, and it works: http://shadowserve.ath.cx/flash_test/

I built the site using Dreamweaver. The folder path is the same online as it is locally.

Most likely it is a path problem. Is all that you are doing with flash is the menu? If so there are other more capable methods than using flash. You could for sure do it with a few lines of JS. You could also get fairly close with CSS.

There was indeed a problem with the path, but even now that I've fixed it, the flash still doesn't show. In Firefox, if I right-click on the page and select View Page Info and the Media tab, the flash is listed, however.

The reason I'm using flash is because when I use Javascript to do it, the image flip is too slow - I'm simply creating a glow effect when the user positions the cursor over the button, but I have to hold my cursor over the button for a few seconds to let it load.

With flash, the effect is instant.

On the test page I created, I'm using the same path as I am for my own site, but the flash works on the test. I'm not sure why this is.
