Re: how to embed swf animation in home.ctp of my cakephp project

Hi

"Not working" means no flash animation is displaying.

> Can you access main_ani.swf directly in your web browser?
Yes, I can.

> I haven't read that tutorial, but I just skimmed it, and it doesn't say to call $this->renderSwf; it says to call $flash->renderSwf.
