I have been building a flash site on my G3 running OS X and Flash MX. In developement my site has worked fine on the Mac but since moving to OS X and publishing my site it will not view on a Mac but work perfectly on a PC. What is going on?
It works fine when run on the computer HD - ie opening swf in a browser etc but not when dowloaded from the web.
The site uses an XML document that holds the pathways to images etc to load the jpgs.
Has any one else had similar problems? - all I can say is that it is very frustrating:(
Its odd, not having a MAC myself i dont really know, but have you tried republishing the .swf file from flash? You may want to try publishing as different versions to see if that makes any difference. Failing that, have you checjked the release notes or the macromedia website? There should be information on what is compatible with Pc’s and what is compatible with MAC’s. Perhaps your .swf has MAC uncompatible features.
um, by different versions i meant try publishing it as a flash 5 document instead of a flash 6. I know it wont be what you want, but if it makes any difference, then it may help you work out what the problem is.
…i’m sorry i cant be much help - im not a MAC user (as much as i would like to be - I would kill for a MAC right now!)
ok that makes sense -I will try flash 5 when I get a chance. What I think I will also do is install mx on OS 9 as I did not have any problems when I used it then - but installing OS 9 again will be a pain!
