Thanks for replying! No, I solved it with the help of Henrik by using BASE in my head section of the 404.html. I don’t understand why it would need /errorPages/404.swf because the 404.html is at the same place as the swf.
My thought is that my .htaccess calls the /errorPages/404.html, regardless from the location it is called, and when this get loaded it plays the 404.swf. If I call it directly it works OK. So, however it works, I don't understand completely why it needs the BASE element -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Kenneth Kawamoto Sent: maandag 28 december 2009 14:06 To: Flash Coders List Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] 404 page not showing with .htaccess Is your embedding URL to your SWF in your 404.html specified as site-root relative? i.e. /errorPages/your.swf Kenneth Kawamoto http://www.materiaprima.co.uk/ Cor wrote: > Hi List, > > I don't know if this is cross-posting, if so I apologize. > > I have this in my .htaccess: > > ErrorDocument 404 /errorPages/404.html > > The 404.html and the 404.swf is on my site in the directory errorPages. > When I type in the url: www.mysite.com/errorPages/404.html is runs as > expected. > But when I force an error, like www.mysite.com/bla.html, it shows the > 404.html page. > I can tell this by View Source. > But it doesn't run the swf in it? > > Any ideas?? > > Kind regards > Cor van Dooren _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list [email protected] http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders No virus found in this incoming message.
