I just tried that. One wonders why I didn't try that before. I did a saveAs on the page, cleaned up the html to reflect the swf and js in the same directory and voila. Nothing!
Makes one wonder if it's a browser issue. The browser, with this code, would toss an exception if it didn't have version 9 available. Version 9 is installed. It's Firefox 1.5.09 IE, after first tossing a fit over a script, then showed, again, nothing. That leaves me to wonder what it is about the swf itself that might be faulty. The swf code I presented below is precisely what I hand compiled with the sdk. It should at least say something. Yes? My earlier trials used an swf I compiled with the Eclipse application builder. In that builder, running as a Flex application showed it to work fine. But, it never showed in a browser through a servlet engine. Thanks to the suggestion, I'm now left with two candidates: flex is installed but not working -- I've gone out on the web and have reason to believe I have exercised it on swf objects elsewhere enough to have reason to believe it is working, or, there is something about the swfs I am creating that is faulty. I am eager to hear other ideas or be pointed to something dumb or obvious that I overlooked. Many thanks Jack On 2/8/07, Tracy Spratt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Have you simplified things by removing "jetty" (of which I am ignorant) from the equation? Put the swf in the same folder as the wrapper. From a browser on the server hosting the wrapper, can you hit the jetty / swf url?

Many thanks Jack In an earlier thread, I got engaged in the issue of history.js and a history.html iframe. There is a template that doesn't use history. That's as barebones as it gets. I am running the simplest possible test to validate that my servlet can paint swf content. I went so far as to craft a simple helloworld as follows: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"; pageTitle="HelloWorld Sample" > <mx:Label text="Hello World!"/> <mx:Label text="Hello World!" color="#003366" fontSize="40"/> </mx:Application> I then adapted a template as follows (note the classpath to the swf file -- this is an embedded Jetty server) -- the servlet prints a trace that clearly shows it sending the swf file. What I get is a colored box set to the background color (which, to me, indicates flex is interpreting something from the html) but nothing from the content itself. What am I missing?
