Hello all. I’ve followed this forum for quite a while now, and I’ve found answers to most of my design-questions over here. But now I have a problem which puzzles me. I’m a complete Flash-newbie, so please bear with me
Ok, so I’ve made this pretty standard HTML/CSS based site, which uses 2 Flash movies: 1 for logo animation, and 1 for menu/nav. I’ve made the site with Dreamweaver MX, and I inserted the movies in table cells for layout/positioning (with the standard ‘insert>media>flash’ option in DW MX).
The problem: the site works perfectly in IE 6 and Firefox for Windows (XP) on my PC. But this afternoon someone emailed me that they can’t view/load the site on a Mac. I’ve asked a friend with a Mac to check out the site, and he also couldn’t access the site; they got a blue screen (with the title (from the TITLE tag) at the top). My friend uses IE5 on his Mac, the other person’s browser is unknown. My friend can however access all kinds of Flash-sites, like FontsForFlash.com and Macromedia.com. I asked him to try those and there was no problem there.
So what have I done wrong? Do I need some special tags for my pages to load on a Mac? Or have I done something wrong in exporting my movies?
I really don’t have a clue and as the rest of the site is pretty standard (no complicated CSS, no CSS positioning, no scripts, layout done oldfashioned way with tables), I think the problem must lie in the Flash movies. I just don’t understand why the whole page won’t load, instead of just not loading/showing the Flash movies? Movies are pretty standard too, my first Flash ever, so no actionscript (except for GetURL and STOP functions :))
If someone could help me out, I will be eternally thankful!!!
That makes two: I don’t have a clue either:stunned:
If I insert them in html with dreamweaver (in tables), everything is working.
I’ve checked in IE5.2/Mozilla/Safari and no problems, so I guess it has to be something else in the html/css?
Maybe it’s a known bug in IE vs Mac, I’ll see if I can find something:)
Didn’t read it, but maybe this is usefull: http://www.l-c-n.com/IE5tests/
*tip: search on google “mac+ie+problems” gives 1,730.000 hits, so you have a read
for the coming days;)
So I changed the doctype declaration and I discovered a double link tag to my style-sheet. Changed that and now I’m curious if it works on the Mac…
Sorry to bother you one more time with this; I really appreciate the trouble on my behalf, so thanx again! http://www.strandpaviljoenpantarhei.nl/index.htm
