[Flashcoders] RE: Swf not loading at run time
Dave, I have the same issue with html page not loading my swf runtime objects. All my flash objects are stored in the same directory which is one level below my html directory. When my html page gets loaded, it seems to look for the runtime library file in the same directory as the html page and since it is not able to find it, it does not load any runtime objects. If I move the runtime library file to the html directory, everything works fine. However, from a file organization standpoint, I would like to have all my swf files in a different directory. Is there anyway I can do this?

[Flashcoders] RE: Swf not loading at run time
hi Kannan, looks like Muzak posted a link to a relevant page from Adobe in this thread, deleted the email or would have included it - try the FlashCoder's archive maybe. The problem of paths in the IDE vs. full paths used on the web for embedded display in an HTML page is an old one. A useful fix is to use a variable in the authoring environment that contains the full path to the files as they will be set up on the server and splicing that variable to the local path (the local path being used during authoring work). Then, just before the final publishing of the main.swf for the HTML webpage - change the /:pathToServer variable from null/empty to the base URL - which is then used by all the loadMovie calls made by the mainParent.swf and it's loaded children.swf's during runtime. We are jumping from Flash4 (cell phones) to cs3 this month, so no as1/as2 examples... actually, no as3 examples yet either, but here is the code we put on the first frame of the main.swf- leaving the path empty/null for authoring then with the path variable set to the base URL at final publishing for the web: /: = a variable declaration and / was replaced by dots as of as1/flash5; /:pathToServer = http://www.2goto.com/;; then we use '/:internal_window_loadPath' for authoring: /:internal_window_loadPath = (pathToServer) + edictCON/sysEDICT/bwin.swf; 'bwin.swf' is an independent.swf deep in the folder structure that we loadMovie and place in the navigation structure, the 'bwin.swf'(internal_window) then loads or is loaded with outside content from the web or other folders on our server. hope that helps, Dave_Matthews http://www.2GoTo.com ...5 year old example... :) -- Message: 13 Date: Tue, 12 Jun 2007 12:12:07 +0530 From: Kannan Bharadwaj [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Flashcoders] RE: Swf not loading at run time To: flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Dave, I have the same issue with html page not loading my swf runtime objects.

Re: [Flashcoders] RE: Swf not loading at run time
Thanks Dave, Did not know this, I am sure it will come in handy but I have another swf file that gets loaded at a different time and in the same way which loads fine, so it must be something else. I'll just have to go through my code (again) to try and find the problem. cheers JohnT dave matthews wrote: hi JohnT, The path to loaded .swf files changes when accessing from an HTML page on the net - it is different than the IDE/authoring environment.
