What is the error message you are seeing?
note- many people including myself are viewing this using a Newsreader- the
attachment doesn't come through.

And- what operating system is your machine?

im seeing this: (for example) "text1.swf" is an invalid file name. Please enter a different name.

And this massege appears always, even if i change name to "_821 n0-y" ;/

i'm using windows XP

suggestion?
Please don't change the subject line during a thread- it can get the message
lost for those using newsreaders

Usually this happens on macintosh- in the few cases where it's been fixed on
windows machines, it's been from a foreign character in a foldername in the
path to the local site folder.

could you check this and reply with the image src path?

Open a NEW file.
*Don't save it.
Insert an image That is In this Site Folder, using Dw menu-->Insert-->Image
browse to the image, and set the pulldown to Relative To Document.

When you pick the image, you will probably get a nag or warning, that dw
can't make a correct path until the file is saved.
Click the nag away. *Don't Save the File.

Look in the code view-
It should show the whole local path-
<img src="Macintosh%20HD/Users/YourUsername/folder/folder/image.gif"

If there are upper ascii characters in a folder name or the HD name- or a
leading blank space in the HD name, Dw won't work properly- It can't sort
out the path. The Assets panel will be empty
Special characters would be /|\ : ' and a bunch of others- mostly
punctuation and upper ascii...
AND- accented letters used in some languages.
