Someone, anyone please help me see my .swf file on my html page in dreamweaver!?

I've been at this for several hours, I can't see anything when I upload my swf file into my html using dreamweaver. I've simply added the swf using the common library> media>swf & I get no images.

I've uploaded the swf & the scripts folder created by dreamweaver over & over & I get nada!

I've downloaded the latest flash player 10 times & still nothing.

I see the little buttons I've added as a kind of slideshow for my pics, but NO PICS! I'm so about to throw my computer out the window!

Here is the code:<div id="primary_image">

<object id="FlashID" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="465" height="482">

<param name="movie" value="load_architecture.swf" />

<param name="quality" value="high" />

<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />

<param name="swfversion" value="6.0.65.0" />

<!-- This param tag prompts users with Flash Player 6.0 r65 and higher to download the latest version of Flash Player. Delete it if you don’t want users to see the prompt. -->

<param name="expressinstall" value="Scripts/expressInstall.swf" />

<!-- Next object tag is for non-IE browsers. So hide it from IE using IECC. -->

<!--[if !IE]>-->

<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="load_architecture.swf" width="465" height="482">

<!--<![endif]-->

<param name="quality" value="high" />

<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />

<param name="swfversion" value="6.0.65.0" />

<param name="expressinstall" value="Scripts/expressInstall.swf" />

<!-- The browser displays the following alternative content for users with Flash Player 6.0 and older. -->

<div>

<h4>Content on this page requires a newer version of Adobe Flash Player.</h4>

<p><a href="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer%22%3E%3Cimg src="http://www.adobe.com/images/shared/download_button... alt="Get Adobe Flash player" width="112" height="33" /></a></p>

</div>

<!--[if !IE]>-->

</object>

<!--<![endif]-->

</object>

</div>

this is what is shows: http://alieze.com/bauhaus/architecture.html

You see the big white square on the left side of the screen, yeah that's it. It should show 3 images controlled by the little black buttons at the bottom right of the square (you have to mouse over the bottom right to see, which they are there).

When i preview the swf from my desktop in safari it works, but trying to incorporate through my server doesn't work.

Can anyone please add insight, I'm going out of my mind.

Thank you!

Update:

My goodness, I've just joined this forum & I've had the hardest time trying to figure out how to respond to answers. Anyways, thanks for your answer, although I'm new to programming & I don't understand how to add this code in.

I'm not sure what code needs to be in the swfobject.js file it's telling me to add in step 3, actually almost all of step 3 is a blur. I'm not sure if I need to download anything for the plug-in, or how to do that or where to go to do that.

The Dreamweaver automatic code actually already added a file named swfobject.js and made a Script folder for it, which includes alot of javascript code - I'm thinking that may be the same js file that this new method is telling me to add.

    Dreamweaver's generated scripts are rubbish and not to be trusted!!

    Your better off using SWFObject which is an open source plugin that handles flash content with the option to have alternate content displayed if a user doesn't have flash player installed. It's easy to implement and widely used.
