videos not showing up

[pony9a]

Please can someone try uploading a flash (.swf) video via the wisiywig advanced editor as I have been trying all evening and they dont seem to show up in my listings anymore. Was fine yesterday now it doesnt seem to work I just need to know if it works for other people, so I can know if it is something I am doing wrong.
I deleted all my listings so I could add a template I had made and now I cant get my listings done. Please dont tell me not to bother with videos, I want them in my listings and have spent the last week making all the videos.
Thanks people.

The test listing I did before that included one of your flash videos has stopped working. Looks like there's either a problem at ebid, or with your flash host. Do you have any flash videos made on and hosted on different sites?

Hi bykimbo, thanks for replying :-)
No I dont have any hosted anywhere else. Does photobucket allow you to upload flash videos? If they do I could try there and see if that works.

I just tried to upload a .swf file to photobucket, they dont allow free accounts to upload .swf movies, so that one is out :-( I will have to try and find someone else so I can test to see if it is ebid or my server that is p[laying up.

I don't think photobucket does flash, but I could be wrong. I've looked at the link I had for your flash video
http://www.voguevintage.co.uk/ebidvi..._converted.swf
and it now returns a "page not found" error, which suggests the problem's at that end.

Well, I just tried another .swf file at an outside host and that didnt work either so it suggests that the problem may be with ebid. The reason your video didnt work is I have altered the video folder on the server so your file wont work anymore. If I could email you and send you the new directory name on the server you might try that for me if you would? Of course you dont have too, just a thought thats all lol.

Whenever I come across flashing, moving or sounds in ads I hit the back button immediately
