[Flashcoders] recent issues/bugs? help needed
Hi all I've just tried a flash movie published on my website which has been working fine. Now its not loading, just timing out - i.e browser bar slowly moving, blank screen. Are there any recent issues from flash player that might cause the movie to not load. I cant think of anything else, tried local copy - that works fine, reupped it no joy. Movie is published as flash 7, my player on firefox is 8.0.24.0 and same on i.e. Any help would be cool.

You should probably start by verifying that there is nothing wrong with your server. Do other Flash movies on your website work? Do they fail in a particular browser, or all browsers? Check your object/embed HTML. Are you using the HTML created by Flash when you publish your movie? Also, try a simple movie (1 frame, no actionscript) and verify that it loads as expected. Does the movie that is failing try to connect to any data services? There are a lot of reasons this could be happening. A little trial and error should give you some clues pretty quickly. My bet (without knowing ANYTHING about your unique situation) is that it has nothing to do with the Flash player - more likely a malformed embed/object statement, or a MIME setting on the web server. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Johnny Zen Sent: Saturday, May 06, 2006 7:05 PM To: Flashcoders mailing list Subject: [Flashcoders] recent issues/bugs? help needed Hi all I've just tried a flash movie published on my website which has been working fine.

Hi Tom Thanks for the help. Yes, I already tried those things you mentioned. Just to recap what i've done. Created another webpage using dreamweaver and added the flash movie. - No joy there. Checked object tags in webpage. - there is nothing wrong there. All other flash movies work. they are published as flash 6. Tried IE and firefox browsers. - no joy there Data services. The movie uses flashcomm, but if there is a problem with this, I have written error codes to tell me the problem (no connection to server etc) Preloader I use a preloader, so preloader should start before any other problems with data services are considered. Object tag used. object classid=clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-44455354 codebase=http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,19,0; width=800 height=600 param name=movie value=movie1.swf / param name=quality value=high / embed src=movie1.swf quality=high pluginspage=http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer; type=application/x-shockwave-flash width=800 height=600/embed /object MIME Checked server, and this looks fine. Any other ideas?

RE: [Flashcoders] recent issues/bugs? help needed
Hi Johnny, So we've ruled out the server (other Flash movies work fine), and we've ruled out the embed/object tags. We've ruled out the browser too, since it fails on both IE and Firefox. Just out of curiosity, if you right-click the area of the swf as the browser tries to load it, does it say Movie Not Loaded? If so, this would lead me to again suspect the mime types or the object/embed tags, but a corrupted swf could cause this as well. Anyway, the next thing I'd do is start removing components or blocks of ActionScript and see what will allow the movie to go ahead and load. When you take something out and suddenly the movie will play, you've found your culprit! Have you tried playing the swf in the standalone player? Good luck!! -tom -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Johnny Zen Sent: Saturday, May 06, 2006 8:16 PM To: Flashcoders mailing list Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] recent issues/bugs? help needed Hi Tom Thanks for the help.
