wander over to my new site design, [http://www.rbell.net/Trial](http://www.rbell.net/Trial)

and try to help me find the problem.

The first page doesn’t show the movie at the top of the page the way it should. It was created the same way as the other movies on the other pages and they’re all displayed fine. The pages and the movies are in the same directory but I just can’t figure out why only the movie in the home page doesn’t work.

Any help would be grateful 🙂

the reason this is in server side is cause I’m 100% (now I’m 50-50) it’s not a flash problem or html problem…meaning it must be server side…hmmmm but wait how can it be…HELP!!!

if a mod sees this and thinks it should be somewhere else, please move it…thanks :thumb:

You’re right, it doesn’t work (the home header movie). Do you maybe have a layer that is supposed to be a mask but its not set as a mask-layer in the timeline? I’m just guessing as I’m sure it could be a number of things.

no, I’ve created a template for all the movies and they’ve all been created the same way. If one doesn’t work then none of them should…

In fact if you right-click over the movie you’ll see the menu has two options (one greyed out saying ‘movie not loaded’ and ‘about flash player’.

Anyone any ideas cause this is really puzzling me :huh:
