Having trouble linking flash site online

1

I’ve built a site that works great in local mode, all the links work, the pop-up window works…all seems hunky dory…until I upload the thing to my server. I have the .swfs and .html files all in the same folder, and I’ve quadruple checked it, but still some of the links work, some don’t. But only online. I’m stumped. Anyone?

thanks

Oh geez,

It’s soooo rough I’m embarrassed. The only pages that work are the home page, the gallery page and the about annette page…the link page for some reason pops the home page above it, and the links don’t work…it works on my machine…aaaargh…okay, i’m a hack…I’m learning it all by myself at night while my kids sleep…so bear with me.

any insight will help…I’m no master actionscripter but I’m trying folks.

Give your homepage a title! (in the html)
Bring the home.swf’s file size down!
I’ll try’n check your code, or post the fla :wink:
Don’t worry, that’ll be easy to sort!

Hey thanks!

Fellow parent:beam: … You are in Paris? Neato. I lived in Aix-en-Provence when I was 12…got dumped into highschool…very enlghtening.

I love France.

Thanks for the help…I’ll definitely try to do those things…

It’s tricky, because I wanted to use the artist’s real handwriting for the links, and I made them as teeny as possible, but It still has too many K’s I guess.

How would I name the homepage…I’m pretty useless with HTML…but I’ll figure it out if you tell me…

Salut

Look at the page’s source (internet explorer>view>source) to get the html in notepad, between the [title] [/title] tags in the head section, add the desired title.

Try the modify/optimize feature in flash on some elements, try to reuse the same graphic symbols, if you publish to flash 6, check the “compress movie” option in the flash tab in export settings.

The links problem is caused by a confusion between getURL and loadMovie, geturl (some swf, into a level) can’t possibly work, use loadMovieNum for levels or loadMovie into an empty target clip, or use getUrl(someOtherPage.html, _blank) if you want to open each page in a new window…

Why you got the menu twice, once on the left, and once underneath the content?

Un peu d’aide? =)
