i know how to write the tags for flash that's not the problem. It's the location of the flash file that is giving me problems i think.
Can you use relative paths to .swf files from within Zope? In one example I looked at they had something like this src="/swf/logo.swf" - i added this file in my file system relative to the zope_home but i still cannot see it. Can anyone bring me up to speed on using file system objects in Zope?
Well, Zope by default (and purpose) does not access filesystem for URLs. Plone has a lot of filesystem based stuff but this does not work via direct access. Zope creates objects out of them at start. (simplified) Just create a Folder object in Zope and add a File object, then upload your SWF. Point the URL in the skin (for plone) to that URL and voila. It might be confusing if you change a file system based skin and point to an URL in the object tree. But then, plone is a product for zope, not zope :-) HTH Tino
