So, I use this site called DriveHQ to host my website- I upload a HTML file, and I open the file and get the link, and use .CO.NR to redirect to the site. Okay, so the point is that I made this Flash thing with something called PowerBullet Presenter, and I made HTML code. I pasted it in the editor of this thing called DriveHQ, but it wouldn't show up. So I abandoned that thought, and I'm scouting for a good flash designer, that can export as HTML code so I could paste it into my website. If there is any advice on this, I would appreciate it! Thanks in advanced!

Short primer tied to the thread: created the project in PowerBullet Presenter and pasted the exported HTML into DriveHQ but nothing showed. Replies from , and point to the right areas. The practical checklist below helps locate the missing asset, verify hosting behavior, and explains a critical modern caveat (Flash end‑of‑life).

First, confirm whether a .swf actually exists. Open the exported HTML in a text editor and search for “.swf” to find the file name and relative path. If unsure where the tool saved output, run a filesystem search:

# mac / linux
find . -name '*.swf'

# Windows (cmd)
dir /s /b *.swf

# server test — shows response headers
curl -I https://your-domain/path/file.swf

If a .swf is present, make sure the exported folder (HTML + assets) is uploaded to the host’s public/web folder using the host’s file manager or FTP — many online page editors sanitize or strip object/embed/script tags and will not accept raw Flash embed HTML. Use the direct SWF URL in a browser or curl to confirm it’s reachable and served with a sensible Content-Type (ideally application/x-shockwave-flash). If the host blocks serving SWF, check the host docs or support.

Important modern context: Adobe ended Flash Player support on December 31, 2020 and major browsers no longer run Flash. Even a correctly hosted SWF probably won’t play for most visitors. For longevity, export the piece as a video, rebuild/export to HTML5/Canvas (tools like Adobe Animate support that), or consider a Flash emulator such as Ruffle for running legacy SWFs in current browsers.

Did you copy the swf file to the host server and change the url to point to that swf in your embed or object code?

The problem is, I can't export the thing as an SWF file. (Or I don't know how)

i would suggest u to open ur project's swf file in adobe flash and then click on file>publish>in html....
then u can directly upload that in ur site....
waiting for ur response whether it was useful....

After you have exported the project, click on File -> Open Project Folder menu, you will find the swf there. U will need to copy that swf file to your host server, and change the html code to point to the path where the swf has been copied, e.g. , else the code generated is showing the path on your pc where the swf is stored, whereby the code src="myswf.swf" shows the file stored in the same folder as the html generated by the app, and you will need to replace it with the url example above when you are adding the code to your webpage

another way is to simply embed the swf file using:-

<object width="550" height="400">
<param name="movie" value="somefilename.swf">
<embed src="somefilename.swf" width="550" height="400">
</embed>
</object>

Save the file caaled somename.swf on your computer, then upload it to your webserver via ftp or your cpanel if you have one, then use the code as supplied by in the html part of the page you want it to display, changing the url to point to the actual new location on your server.

Okay, this is the problem everyone, I can't export the file as swf.

Can you let us see your html file, maybe the answere to your problem is in the code of it?
