embed flash file in dreamweaver

i am having trouble embedding a flash file in a dreamweaver file. The file was purchased from flashden. I have attached my code snippet, the designer's code snippet (which is where I copied the code from) and a snapshot of my root folder. You can view the page at http://enroutetravel.com/vacation_destinations.html The flash file should be under the text on the right and therein lies my problem.

MY CODE SNIPPET (DESIGNER'S BELOW):
 
     <td><script type="text/javascript">
AC_FL_RunContent( 'codebase', 'http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0',

			'height', '300',
			'src', '/vacation_destinations/world_assets/_flash/KIZoomSlideshow',
			'quality', 'high',
			'pluginspage', 'http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer',
			'align', 'middle',
			'play', 'true',

	}

The paths to the Flash file in the HTML code appear to be incorrect on the server.

http://enroutetravel.com/vacation_destinations/world_assets/_flash/KIZoomSlideshow.swf

returns a 404.

Here's the parameter that leads me to try that path:

'movie','/vacation_destinations/world_assets/_flash/KIZoomSlideshow'

The initial / indicates the public site root.
