Hi folks, I’m at a loss as to what could be causing a problem that we’re having with our site.
I’ll give you some background. I’ve got the portfolio section of our website saved out as a separate swf file which is loaded into a containing movieclip. Now for some reason the portfolio.swf (none of the other sections exhibit this behavior) does not load when you initially click the portfolio link.
However, if you click on one of the other sections after clicking portfolio (let’s say contact), then click on portfolio again everything works just fine. My thinking was that the portfolio section simply wasn’t able to load in time to display the content. So I tried adding a preloader in a new scene at the beginning of the file, but the same bug continues, except now I can see a quick flash of the preloader before it stops.
Next I thought it may be a stray stop(); command somewhere. I commented out what I thought were the possible culprits, but to no avail. The bug continues.
Once you’ve visited the site, this problem goes away, and it doesn’t occur when I check the site locally. Needless to say, it looks really bad for our company when our portfolio section doesn’t load properly.
You can check it out for yourself at www.octagoncreative.com. Just click on the portfolio link. When it doesn’t load, click one of the other sections then click back to portfolio. Everything will load fine.
