Yes, flash is usable on free and paid sites. The issue of it not working comes up all the time in the HTML forum. But don't expect Bravenet to provide any help. They only provide hosting and expect the user to know what they are doing.
I don't find flash very useful, but I use flash on some of my test sites and don't have any problem. The link I provide on my posts is to a Website Wizard creation that uses small flash files for the page introductions. The code for embedding flash is pretty much cookie cutter. A better forum for information on using flash might be the HTML Coding forum. A little search should bring up these two recent postings: Adding swf file to site and Help with flash.
Taxaction's code at taxaction.bravehost.com/index.html is stripped to bare bones, but might work if the ".swf" file existed. The coding is listed below.
If I try to access the ".swf" file directly, I get a file not found error. There are usually only a couple of reasons for this kind of thing.
The file doesn't exist - The code is expecting the file to be in the "resources" folder on your web site. Either you haven't uploaded it to that folder yet or you uploaded it to another folder. I looked around a little bit, but couldn't find it. Create the necessary folder and upload the ".swf" file.
You spelled it wrong - The Bravenet server is Linux based and is sensitive to upper/lower case. A file named "myswffile.SWF" may not be recognized, if you page is looking for "myswffile.swf".
Use your File Manager to make sure that your ".swf" file is named correctly and in the right folder.
thank you for all your messages, though i already found a way how to implement it. it's along and winding process though but i works well now. I'm currently uploading and polishing my website so you may try and visit it later. My website is a paid plan so i'm using the professional version. some tips and bits are helpful from bravenet, but most of the problems that you will encounter is a "help-yourself" kind of thing.
for all those other web builders and if you're using flash and dreamweaver cs3 you have to embed them manually and publish is one by one. Even by renaming the files as "index"it won't publish itself. I tried downloading one of their templates and hit the "publish" button to go online then rewrite the commands, it worked well before now i'm having some problems with going online again.
