Re: [Flashcoders] Problem: Safari and dynamic loading?
Sorry for the late reply! Many thanks for the suggestions - I think a load manager class is the way to go and I'll send Jamie a mail and take up the kind offer.

Re: [Flashcoders] Problem: Safari and dynamic loading?
I've had this problem recently. I found it was an issue when the swf and the html file aren't in the same directory. Either put them both in the same directory, or give the full path in your filename. Let me know how you get along!

Re: [Flashcoders] Problem: Safari and dynamic loading?
I had a similar problem a while back with a project that required a lot of stuff (xml, swf's, and jpg's) to load all at once. It worked fine in publishing and in IE on Windows but Firefox (Mac and PC) and Safari (it was the wost with safari) would tend to miss stuff just as you have discribed. I the only way I was able to put the problem to bed for sure was to build a load manager class that would make sure everything loaded up one at a time. So all of the stuff that needed to be loaded would be put into a queue and the class would go through and load stuff, making sure not to load the next thing in the queue until the previous thing had finished. It did slow things down a little bit, but better that then having unpredictable results. Since I saw the problem in multiple browsers, I suspect it was more of a bug in the Flash Player. But it's clear that loading in tons of stuff at once can cause problems. Email me if you want me to send the load manager class.

Re: [Flashcoders] Problem: Safari and dynamic loading?
Safari is a POS. One thing you can do is use MovieClipLoader::onLoadError to check the error code. If it is LoadNeverCompleted (as opposed to URLNotFound), re-attempt the load.
