My animation doesn't play correctly in my site!

There are a couple of restrictions which must be adhered to when creating SWFs (.swf files) for SiteMaker:

The frame rate must be set to 24 fps (frames per second)

The file should be exported for Flash Player 7 or 8

Replace any 'absolute' references to _root (in action script code) with 'relative' references (this, _parent etc)

Mask any animation that goes outside the SWF boundary

The generated Flash file must be a self-contained SWF and created using an 'acceptable' Flash generator

If you create your own Flash file or have one built for you then just ensure that it has been created following the above rules.

We cannot guarantee that any uploaded SWF will work with SiteMaker Software. It is the creator's responsibility to ensure that it conforms to our requirements and to test or verify that it works.
