okay so everthing was fine, you’d click the link on the start page of my site and a centered pop up window would load, inside which was the main site… but a few days ago something changed, when the start page enter button is clicked a windows message box comes up saying
'you are attempting to download page musthavetoy.swf from punkcentre.com (where the server is) and then u have the option to save, cancel or more information. I have absolutely no idea why this has started happening, i havent changed any of the code im using and just last week its worked fine. heres the link so u can see what i mean, i can post up the files if anyone would liek to take a look…
thanks
Your pop-up window has to be an HTML with the code to play the swf inside. I noticed that your popup simply loads the swf itself, and without certain code, the browser doesn’t know what to do with it so it assumes it’s a downloadable file.
In flash, choose to Publish your project and it’ll spit out an HTML file along with the swf. view the source for this html to see what i’m talking about.
After doing so, simply have your popup window open that html instead of the swf itself and you should get your desired results.
thankyou for your reply, i did as you said and it worked, though im still curious as to why it wont work as before, because the way i had it was perfect, it loaded a centered window which resized the swf file to fit perfect. A friend of mine also has done this, loading directly an swf file, and his still works without the problem i have detailed above, so i dont understand why it isnt working for me
