Flash - AC_FL_RunContent is not defined
Today I was having some troubles embedding my flash file in Dreamweaver. I have done this so many times never having a problem before. It would play just fine in Dreamweaver CS3 but as soon as I would open my browser to view it, it wouldn't play. I used Firebug which can be downloaded for firefox as an add on to help me troubleshoot the error. The error that was being generated was AC_FL_RunContent is not defined. Dreamweaver automatically creates a Scripts directory with a JS file inside called AC_RunActiveContent.js when you save your file with the embedded flash.
After doing a little research I realized when I defined my site within Dreamweaver CS3 I defined it outside of the root of my www directory. This was my problem. Your scripts directory must be located within your web root. I cut the directory from outside my web root into my www directory and there it was. Just another important lesson on properly defining your sites within dreamweaver.

this was a very helpful article indeed. But I had to add an extra step. I had to include the AC_RunActiveContent.js in the page by adding this line
<script type="text/javascript" src="Scripts/AC_RunActiveContent.js"></script>
to make it work online. In local machine there was no issues though.
<script type="text/javascript" src="Scripts/AC_RunActiveContent.js"></script> Dreamweaver should have included this for you when you embedded your flash.
Any ideas?
I was thinking I need to adjust my arguements inside the js file, but since I am not a javascript guru I wouldn't know where to start..
When I looked at your view source you have your .js file sitting in the Scripts directory? I think you need to change your mapping to the JS file so it should look like this... There is no AC_RunActiveContent.js in your scripts directory.

You can change de directory of the scripts in IIS too... I have been do this and work perfect...
For de brasilian guys....
Olha só, se alguém chegou aqui e quer saber que raio de erro é esse, é que o IIS têm uma pasta chamada SCRIPTs e o Dreamweaver CS3 cria uma também... aí dá um pouco de conflito. No IIS você pode trocar a pasta de scripts para essa pasta aí do seu site... resolve o problema. Valeus!
Thanks people...

It's been working and then all of a sudden it stopped and I can't see any reason why it stopped. But that's the error I get: AC_FL_RunContent is not defined. But I haven't edited it or changed anything - it just stopped. Any ideas?
Please help!

To the spammers out there. Go funk you self
It actually looks like it there for a nano second then the status indicator says 'done'.
Also wanted to note that I can open the swf directly without an issue... just can't get it to load when it is in html.
Thank you -C
