I am unable to display a .swf file on my drupal page. If i use swftool i just get a white rectangle, the file seems to be loaded, though.
I read through the archives, but, although some users had the same problem, their solutions don't work in my case.

I'd be extremely glad if someone could come up with a solution!

I can display a .swf file directly with swfobject. why isn't this possible with swftools using swfobject?

Great, now i try to set up a width and height, hit submit and voila: a white box again.
Changed it back: a white box ... thats just some kind of black magic

Check the filename to your swf file. It's probably encoded by Drupal which then breaks it.

The problem seems to be the media url variable being not set. See http://drupal.org/node/150307 which explains about putting it in your sites settings.php
