Problem with Flash swf files?

I made a flash animation at school for a project but when i tried to show it to my friends it said "Movie not loaded." To the best of my knowledge the entire swf is 2,180 kilobytes, most of the space being used up by the song. Does the size have anything to do with the error in upload? And it says something about read only whenever i try to save it. DOES ANYOBDY KNOW WHAT TO DO AND IF IT HAS TO DO WITH FILE SIZE WHAT CAN I DO???? im desperate for answers im afraid it could be two hours of work gone to waste!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PLZ HELP!!!!

    The size has nothing to do with it.

    what are you trying to play the video on?i don't know of any program that can play "Flash.swf" files. you could try converting the video, (online converter) google that. tons should pop up.

    Sorry i couldn't help more.

    Hello, if the problem still remains, maybe you can try to convert the swf file to other popular and small video formats or the animated gif which keeps the exact quality in your original swf file. Besides, they are many profile settings available to assure the best output quality.

    Personally i think it could be an alternative.

    The size doesn't look big, especially if you have a song included.

    Are you sure you really put the movie into it?

    May be there is just the song, but the movie is actually missing.

    Where did you get the movie from?
