Is it published on the web? Or is the intranet on a shared drive on an internal network? If it is the ladder, your path has to be longer than it would be for a webserver.
Best bet would be to trace your butt off until you find the exact string you need for the path. Go back and forth about 20 to 30 times with them on file versions until they get fed up. Having you do it without being able to test is like having you code blindfolded with yours hands tied. ------Original Message------ From: sebastian Sender: flashcoders-boun...@chattyfig.figleaf.com To: Flash Coders List ReplyTo: Flash Coders List Subject: [Flashcoders] problem with paths Sent: Jan 22, 2010 2:16 PM Hello flash coders, Simple question I believe, but I'm having problems with a delivery of a flash file. My flash file loads an external XML and then from the external XML it loads images, videos text etc. It works fine locally and on our test server, however at the client's server, which is on an intranet so I can't test or see what they see, it doesn't load the XML... I tried hard coding the paths that they tell me the XML resides in, and they promise me that they have kept the file structure intact, and they have also informed me that there is no cross domain going on... meaning that the flash is being loaded from the same domain where the data is being kept. My question is: how could this not be working? My only guess is that the file is being embeded in an HTML file that is NOT in the path of where the files are being kept, but then my hardcoded full-paths should (?) have resolved this...? Am I right that I can replace: the load "/xml/data.xml" with "http://domainname.com/flash/xml/data.xml" and then load the SWF from a directory like: "http://domainname.com/somsubdirectory/index.html" and get it all to load correctly? Thanks for any insight or thoughts you can offer! Best, Seb. _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Nathan Mynarcik Interactive Web Developer nat...@mynarcik.com 254.749.2525 www.mynarcik.com _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
