Hi peoples,

I have a Samba Server that has had the same config for over 10 months now
(read: never had a problem).

Just today, I thought, let's Play with Flash MX, so download I did.
Start playing around, and went to test my first movie and it came up blank.

Not a flash GURU that I am, I was stumped. Anyway. Saved the flash file
to my local C:\ (Oh did I mention the WS is Win2k ;) .. and then
tested the Flash Movie, and no problems.

Tech Details:

        In Flash, when you 'Test a Movie'
        it creates the .swf export in the same folder.

        The Share I am working from is

        [htdocs]
                path = /var/www/html
                writable = yes
                create mode = 664
                directory mode = 775
                force group = www
                valid users = @www
                delete readonly = yes

Samba version is
        Version 2.2.1a

As I said, nothing has changed and I have only seen this behaviour now with
exported Flash MOvies.

What else do I know:

        Testing a Movie in Flash is the same as Exporting the final product, (it
creates the same files)

        So:
                I Export to Movie on the samba server
        and
                I Export to Movie on my Local Workstation
                (and tried a Networked Win2k Prof box also)

        The Export to the Samba server creates a bad .swf.
        It's 41k and the good working one (on the Win2k boxes   is 12k)

erm.. Where to from here.

        .swf files are generally served from a Browser... so

        I copied a Working version (and a non-working version courtesy of Samba)
        to the Local IIS Server. Expected result. The working one, worked,
        the non-working .. you get the idea.

        So I copied the two files to the Apache Server via Samba
        and browsed to them there... same result.

        A Flash movie created by saving to Samba, makes a BAD swf file.
        A Flash movie created by saving to Win32 box makes a normal good movie.

So .. where do I look (and the logs below show nothing amazing).

.. (and I hear you say, what about the logs )

Weird, sugesstions (before I upgrade Samba)

This is the Whole Session of Flash MX, exporting (deleting an old flash movie
and creating a
new one, and then opening it and the closing it)
