I just setup the âHeadlab News Flasher V1.1.2â. When I have Dreamweaver open and test it out within the creating area, it works. When I go to the browser and test it, it doesnât work.
Anyone have any idea why it works one place but doesnât work online?
This thing doesnât work unless you have the html file in the same directory as the file. Why???
I cannot put the flash file into a separate directory and then call the file from another directory. This sucks.
Anyone else have this problem???
you should be able to call it from another directory, thatâs just not where flash is looking for it, you have to change the actionscript of where the component looks for the file
looks like you need to rename some paths⌠The paths probably point to the directory you have it in now, you need to change those paths to get them to work on the web (as the web canât call things from your harddrive)
they can from my hd
lol, k, Iâll shut up now
No, I did a separate file to test it out and pointed it at the correct place and it still didnât work. It only works when you put the html file into the same directory as the flash file.
You go ahead and try it. Go the tutorial here: http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/newsflasher.htm
- Create the flash file
- create an html document
- Put the flash file inside another directory (/flash)
- Set everything up in the html document so it points to that directory and that file.
I bet you get the same thing as me and it wonât work.
Someone try it please.
Itâs fixed. Absolute url wasnât specified for location of text file.
