Embedding a swf using fbml in a facebook app

Question

Hi, I am using FBML to embed a swf file into my facebook application, but it shows the message that movie is not loaded. The piece of code that I am using for this is:

echo " < fb:swf imgstyle=\"border-width:3px; border-color:white;\" swfsrc='apsolute url of the .swf in the server where I am hosting' width='340' height='270' flashvars='' swfbgcolor='333333' wmode='opaque' />";

If you don't need your flash application to interact with Facebook, there's an easy workaround to your problem: http://anandnalya.com/2009/01/15/embedding-flash-object-in-facebook-apps-fbml/

You should also confirm your "swfsrc" URL is correct by accessing it directly in your browser.
