SWF works, HTML stops external data being loaded?

programming flash

Hi, second new thread in a few days, sorry for the contant uselessness :slight_smile:

Basically I’m just doing some simple reminder stuff to refresh my brain about flash and have come across a bit of a problem… after hours of thinking my (very simple) actionscript was at fault it looks like it’s something in my JS/HTML implementation.

Could anyone take a look and see what blatently obvious thing I missed? I tried altering the script access variable but… no joy.

Possibly related: I can’t see the JS output code unless i use “select all” then “view selection source”. It’s been a while since I used JS though so maybe it always did that and I didn’t realise?

Thanks for any help (again)

Edit: I’m just checking to see if the order I get JS to print out the embed etc tags are cauing it… seems odd that it does it in IE and FIrefox though…

**Edit 2: It seems that if I put the HTML file in my FLA folder and then reference the SWF with “…/SWF/myswf.swf” the images are loaded successfully (this is both with publish generated HTML AND my JavaScript HTML)

Yet if I put the HTML in the top layer and access the SWF via “SWF/myswf.swf” it doesn’t load the images. I can’t fathom what teh issue might be :**
