Angry Some flash movies will not load

Using Flash MX I’ve created multiple files and all work as expected on the workstation used. However, when uploaded to the server not all is well

Some files load fine every time and their button action (my earlier post) also works. A few just don’t load at all. When right clicked and view source is selected the correct HTML has been loaded to the page, but the swf file doesn’t load/play. I’ve tried setting a preloader but that makes no difference.

If I specifically open http://www...../file.swf, it opens in its own browser window and all is ok (minus ‘parm’ values’) but it just won’t work using the HTML produced from ‘publish’.

I’ve tried it out on IE v5 & v6 and Netscape v6 & v7 and the same problem occurs on each.

Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated !

Send a message via AIM to imbrokn
What are you using load movie? Make sure that you are using the right path to your movie. I'm pretty sure you need to use the virtual path to load the movie when it is being viewed on a website. So if all your flash movies are here: http://www.yoursite.com/flash/movie1.swf

then make sure when you call loadMovie you put "/flash/movie1.swf" as the file argument
