Flash .swf refused to play in joomla site when uploaded to host server

Post by wbush » Sun Sep 18, 2016 11:53 am

My name is Peter Ohazurume from Nigeria and i just successfully hosted my first joomla 3.51 site on the hosting server.

Every other thing has worked perfectly except my .swf file designed in Adobe Flash. It worked on my localhost(my computer) but when i uploaded it to the server, it stopped showing.


I noticed joomla is stripping off the path of the swf file on the hosting server. When i type this; for example, images/Flash/goon.swf and press enter, when i look again at the source code, i will see only "goon.swf", with the path missing.

I have already activated the Tiny MCA to accept applets and iframe, but can't figure why it is not working.

Their are no restriction on Super Users ACL

Thanks in advance for your help
