Hi cricket, I apologize for the big delay....i was stuck with another big problem to be resolved.
I am able to access main_ani.swf throught browser but not using cakephp. If I place main_ani.swf in a html file (not within cakephp), main_ani.swf is displaying fine in the browser. the flash file sits in wamp/www/merry_flowers/webroot/img. merry_flowers is the name of my project that I baked in cakephp. I tried the following with "<param name="src" value="/main_ani.swf">" <object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/ swflash.cab#version=7,0,19,0" width="550" height="300" title="main_ani"> <param name="movie" value="/main_ani.swf" /> <param name="src" value="/main_ani.swf" /> <param name="quality" value="high" /> <embed src="/main_ani.swf" quality="high" pluginspage="http:// www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave- flash" width="550" height="300"></embed> but the flash animation is not displaying. After the page loads in the browser, main_ani.swf is taking forever to load. It says "1 item remaining. waiting for http://localhost/merry_flowers/pages/test......."; "> That would suggest you haven't loaded the FlashHelper." How do I load Flash Helper? thank you so much for the help! :) cricket <[email protected]> wrote: > On Thu, Apr 28, 2011 at 11:47 AM,varai<[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi > > > "Not working" means no flash animation is displaying. > > >> Can you access main_ani.swf directly in your web browser? > > Yes, I can. > > Using what path?
