WTF!! Strange Flash problem…well for me anyway

hi… thanks for your time. any help will be greatly appreciated.

i have this flash monster that i am creating for a client. i know its ugly and i know it has too much bitmap goin on, etc. but that is not my issue.

ok i have built this with an index flash that loads movies into it. (ala the kirupa “fullsite” tutorial) ok so it works local in flash player. but doesnt work in explorer. if i embed it in HTML it doesnt work in explorer.

THEN i upload the files. and linkin directly to the flash index file works in explorer but only hte remote file. if i embed it in HTML it decides to not work. this is all the same files just so im totally lost. why does it sometimes work?

here are links to see what the deal is:

the flash embedded in HMTL (doesnt work local or remote)

the link directly to the flash file (works locally in flash player, doesnt work local in explorer, DOES WORK remore in explorer)

thanks for your time.

hmmm they work both the same for me cept for one is not stretched to the window

not sure if you fixed it before me saying something or not,

have you checked to see by some weird chance you don’t have the right version of plugin?

thats really that only thing i can think of, and caching

when you upload the html file do you also upload the swf. You need both for the site work,

Sorry if I have missunderstood you.

yes i have uploaded the files…

i think it isnt the plug in because its the same plug it will use when it is remote or local so its not the plug-in … its not mime types on my server…

it just seems to randomly work or not work…

i’ve checked it several times today, on multiple computers and its worked every time. PC, Mac too

hmmm… odd

it seems to work or not work on its own will.

i am going to rebuild this and hopefully fix what went wrong.

does anyone have any suggestions?

thanks.
