Hi there.. Ok so i just go this incrediflash banner and intro and i love the banner i have made.. but after trying to upload it many times nothing seems to work! its getting annoying.. and the faq dont tell me anything! i uploaded all the files i think work with with the ones labeled the same at least and all that comes up is a blank pic box with an "X" in it you know the one that comes up when the pic can't load ...so how do i do it? Am i missing something or what?

You've got to be more specific. What are you trying to do? Or on which host are you uploading?

There are allot of reason why it wont show. I think we need more info.

Is this your own webdomain?

Is the header pointing to the correct file?

If it's showing a red X it usually means, in the case of flash anyways, that flash has been dissabled. But I'm thinking that its not pointing to flash but rather an image formate and hence, your getting the red X. It's likely looking for a .jpg or .gif or some other such format, and not .swf

You must embed a flash movie in an html. Below is the code you need.

<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowScriptAccess="never" allowNetworking="internal" height="275" width="400" data="http://address where the movie is stored">
  <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="never" />
  <param name="allowNetworking" value="internal" />
  <param name="movie" value="http://address where your movie is stored" />
  <param name="quality" value="high" />
</object>

Change the width and height to match your banner, where the "http://address where the movie is stored" is put the address where your movie is stored. It will look like "http://mysite.com/my flash files/myflashbanner.swf". You can put the <object> </object> in a div or whatever else pleases you.

I know this may sound silly, but don't forget to upload the swf file to the location you specified in the pages code. You would't be the first person to forget such a silly detail as this.
