Default Flash buttons don't work

I created my template in Dreamweaver and 9 other pages from the template. Now I
inserted flash buttons in the original template and linked them to all other
pages. Buttons work in the original template but not in any of other pages,
even though I updated the pages with all the changes. What am I doing wrong???
I am losing my mind here.
Any help appreciated.

Thanks!

Make sure all your pages properly reference the flash file and
any JS script files necessary.

Default Re: Flash buttons don't work

Flash buttons don't work in any real sense of the word, anyhow. Why are you
using them?

If you want to use Flash for navigation, consider this -

1. Some people don't have Flash installed - what do they do?
2. Search engines don't parse Flash links - your site will not be spidered
3. Screen assistive devices don't parse Flash links - what will those users
do?
4. DW cannot maintain links within a Flash movie, so if you move or rename
a linked file, your navigation will break - what will you do?

It's usually a very bad idea for these reasons...

This problem is due to the fact that you are placing the buttons into a
Template file. In this case, and assuming you want to inherit all the
problems, make the links to the buttons ROOT RELATIVE.
