I have uploaded the .xml file and the .swf file and put the html into my web page using my html editor but the map still does not show up on my website page.

Answer:
1) Make sure you have uploaded the files into the correct website directory. This is usually the public_html directory.
2) Have a look at the size of the file that has uploaded and make sure it is the same as the original file size. Some ftp programs may not load the files up totally e.g if you cpanel upload does not properly upload the file try an independent ftp program like FileZilla.

Can I use the same map on two different pages in my web site.

Answer:
Yes.
Save the .xml file under a different name e.g from filename.xml to filename2.xml. You should now have two xml files.

You do not need to take another copy of the .swf file
