FLASH/image files, not working on guestbook///body.php

I tried searching for the same topics, didn't find anything, might need a class on searching...
---I edited the body.php file under the templates folder, and I added a background image and a flash file (nav bar) - they won't load on the page, does anyone know how to fix this?... any help would be great.

A link to the guestbook would be helpful.

thanks for your help carbonize.... here's the link www.smoothhustle.com/guestbook

The problem is possibly your use of relative paths over absolute paths. According to your code the flssh file, sh_nav2.swf, is located in the img folder of the guestbook. The same problem applies to the lock img where the path is specified as ../../../../Array%5Bbase_url%5D/img/lock.gif. I'd recommend using absolute paths such as http://www.smoothhustle.com/guestbook/img/lock.gif.

../../../../Array%5Bbase_url%5D/img/lock.gif is seriously wrong. I am curious as to where this came from.

I didn't change any of these paths, I will try absolute paths, the problem probably came, from when I switch hosting companies, and I re-installed the guestbook... it worked for the background image, but I'm still having problems with the flash file loading.

Well where is the swf file located?
