Page hangs while loading small .swf

programming flash
1

Hey all,
I’m a newb to Flash, but I thought I had a simple music on/off button setup on my site pretty easily. I’m using Dreamweaver MX to edit and it was simple to set the .swf up on the actual page, but when I browse to my site, every thing loads, except my button rollovers and my flash file and its only 205 kb…The page just sits there and hangs indefinitely…?
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Is the URL to the file correct?

Yeah the url is correct…
It runs fine with url on my side, only the problem occurs when on server side…

Can you send a link?

I agree with lostinbeta…

most likely the reason it works locally is becuase you have an absolute path to a local file.

This is a common mistake when using DW, make sure you save your HTML file first, then embed your SWF, otherwise the path to the SWF will not be correct.

To fix this, in DW, open the HTML file, then click on the SWF, in the properties window you will see it say something like C:/myfiles…/*.swf. That is your absolute path to your local machine. Simply remove all of that stuff before your SWF, and it should work just fine.

Hope this helps,
