Issue Summary
i have had a variety of issues where the flash files (swf) will seem to unexpectedly disappear. i have not been able to determine why one day the movies display and the next they do not. i am also using swf tools (because this was also happening before), and that worked for a minute, and then has now once again randomly stopped working.
there have been times when reloading the file helps (on the actual node). this time that is not the case. i have tried disabling the swf tools module and that is not working. i have tried also disabling the flashnode module, and that does not help either. i have cleared the site and browser cache after and before doing both of these things and that doesn't seem to help. i was using 5.x-4.0 and upgraded to 5.x-6.0 and that also did not seem to work.
i usually notice it not showing up first in the header block. when i notice it not showing up there, I go tot he actual node, and typically will not see it showing up there either. when i edit the node and reload the file, that does not seem to help.
the block uses the following code to display the flash file: [flashnode|nid=37|scale=1|class=flash-left]
i am using a modified framework theme. i am on drupal 5.x. i am very frustrated. i am using swf tools currently, but the issue doesn't seem to be that but the actual flashnode itself (because it just does not show up). the swf file opens in my browser fine, so that doesn't seem to be corrupted.
i am pulling my hair out, and so is my client. i appreciate any help you can give. thanks.

When you look at the source code for the page is the actual markup there that should be generating the flash content? If it is, then it says that the modules are doing the job and inserting the code, and for some reason the browser isn't triggering it. If the mark up isn't there then it looks like the module isn't outputting the expected code.
Are you using SWF Tools to use JavaScript embedding? If so, double check that the JavaScript is set to add to every page (that is the default mode, but check just in case). If you don't do that then you can get some odd results if you get served a cached filter result, but the script isn't in place. If you're using JS embedding also check the page header to make sure you can see the appropriate JavaScript files being added.
Finally, do you have live page that I can visit and see what result I get?
