so I published a very simple file using flashmx2004 and the swf would only load up to 51 or 55 percent when trying to view the file through the internet. I could file/preview all day long but, when published, the file simply would not behave properly. Therefore, I went back to Flash MX, opened the same exact file and published it and… Voila.
whoa now that sucks email macromedia your problem so they can fix most of these bugs, man i feel like Macromedia rushed this appt out it has too many bugs
