I'm really sorry, when I published the site it worked! It was only when I watched the site on my local network (through sharing the website folder) it didn't work. The other swf file worked in the local environment also though.
I know this does not belong to the treads, or even the sites, subject, but do you have any tips about where to read about how to set up a test environment? Thank you for all your help, even though it was working all along.... //L On 20 Apr, 22:13, Sam Sherlock <[email protected]> wrote: > I would try altering your paths - also I would look at the base param. the > specifics of what I suggest will vary depending on set up. > > using absolute paths may solve your issues.
