I have a function triggered by a button click that searches through an XML file for an e-mail address (entered in a text field) and returns a match or no match. When I run the swf locally it works fine, but once the site is posted it no longer works. Locally it is connecting to the same xml & php files that it uses online.

View 2 RepliesI made (or copied) this XML 3d Carousel: [URL]
I changed some settings, just what I needed like stage size, thumbnail size and so it doesn't spin too fast when mouse rolls over.
I replaced the images with my own, so I have like four now spinning around. It works fine when I hit Ctrl + Enter to test my movie and aswell the carousel.html works in the browser.
I uploaded all files (four images named c_img(number).png, carousel.xml, carousel.swf and the AC_RunActiveContent.js) all in the same folder to my website through FileZilla but the god damn movie doesn't work on the web. It just shows the background so it must be the images are not loading in correctly, but I can't find what's wrong. I've checked the file paths and they are correct, I don't use any cross-domains. Honestly I can't find the problem, it works on the tutorial site so why not on mine? I basically just copied all, nothing more.
I did notice a strange thing though. If I write the direct address in the browser address field [URL] so it loads in full screen, the image carousel shows but very far outside to the right of the screen. I used Firebug and changed the size of the flash movie so I could see far beyond, it's very f'ed up..
Direct link to it: [URL]
If you have Firebug, use it and change the size of the flash and you'll see the carousel to the right of the screen, outside the main flash content area. :/
i have a flash (swf) file
i embedded it in an html page
the location is right
it works locally when i preview it in a browser
as soon as i upload it - it doesn't show up
here's the page: [URL]
here's the location of the swf file: [URL]
i've even tried relative vs. absolute links and nothing. i've tried firefox and safari. nothing.
i'm guessing this is some dumb simple thing, and hopefully it took you longer to read this than it will to type the answer.
i am embarrassed that i am not getting this but hey, it needs to be fixed and i'm sick of looking at it and trying to figure it out.
swf used to show currently playing song from an xml file. fla checks any change in xml and updates immediately. this works fine locally but not online.
actionscript:
import flash.events.Event;
// imports flash events for the ENTER_FRAME event //

View 0 Repliesform/php works locally not online posted this before but no luck. it just doesnt make any sense.. same swf and php. php is sitting on my server. when swf is tested locally it sends an email. when swf is uploaded next to php it doesnt. it is driving me CRAZY.
should also say, i have field validation within flash.. so once all fields are accurately filled the submit button loads the variables from the mc that contains the text fields and sends them to the php.. once that is done, it clears all text fields and the submit and reset buttons and loads an acknowledgement text. this happens locally. when online the submit button does nothing of the sort.
Im loading external swf into my main flash, the first two movies loads good but the last movie doesnt? here is my code:

I have an actions layer and a layer with a video object, called "theVideo". Below is the actionscript:
stop();
// global objects....
buffer._visible = false;
// playlist object for the playlist from raw xml data
[code]....
This script works locally. I have checked and double-checked the file locations when uploaded. It will parse the XML file when uploaded, but will not play the videos.
I have an image gallery with a thumbnail class which needs information about the content being loaded to be able to resize it appropiatly. Using.content.height and .content.width I can acces this information, however the swf (online) stops working when this code is encountered. No errors are thrown.piece of code from where it stops working
Code:
if (targetThumb.content.width > targetThumb.content.height) {
//scale the width

We moved our F4V files to a different server and I reconnected all the SWF files to them using CS4 without any issue. I just upgraded to CS5 and when I save files the same way I did with CS4, the files preview fine locally but when I post online, the video does not work. Was there some new step added to CS5 that I'm missing? Even if I go to the CS4 SWFfile directly on the server, it plays but the new one does not. I thought maybe Premiere CS5 was the culprit but if I connect an old F4V file and save as a CS5 SWF, it's just a white screen. I even tried importing the video from scratch and still nothing.
View 8 RepliesI have a very rudimentary Flash movie that I have created. Link here to a copy of the SWF file on my company's website:The movie appears to work all right in IE, but not in Firefox or Google Chrome.Here are the details:It's a leaderboard ad, and like I said, it's pretty basic. I have a simple motion tween, and then an incredibly looooooong series of nested movie clips that create the effect of a counter (like a rapidly rising jackpot).I'm not really hip with the intricacies of ActionScript, so I couldn't code something more elegant. The "counter" is supposed to represent an increasing amount of money that not using our services might cost a company.
Ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, and ten thousands use a simple repeating movie clip. hundred thousands use one that is 10x as long, and so on. I had to stop at 1 millions, as the # of frames in between numbers was prohibitively long.i.e. there are 10 frames in between numbers for the hundred thousands place in the movie, 100 frames for millions, and 1,000 frames for millions.but, like I said, I'm a beginner at ActionScript.Thinking the problem might be due to the incredibly long movie clips, I removed the animations from some of the higher numbers from my movie, and this did not appear to affect whether it plays in Firefox or Chrome.
I finally finished my game and now whenever my game communicates with my php file/mysql database it fails when the file is being run off the server, but somehow it works fine when played locally.
Here is some sample code:
(This works locally, hence the full url for the load function. But it does not work on the server which I thought was strange.)
Code:
startupvars = new LoadVars();
startupvars.load("http://alexville.com/alexvillenetwork/startup.php");
startupvars.onLoad = function(success){
if(success){
[Code].....
I really want to finish this project that I'm working on, but this stupid problem keeps holding me back.
When I try to Load variables from my PHP file on my webserver from my local computer everything goes fine. But when the swf file is actually on the webserver the Load function fails to return any result with no error.
Here is my code:
Code:
Stage.scaleMode = "exactFit";
startupvars = new LoadVars();
startupvars.load("startup.php");
[Code]....
What happens after this code runs is that the text boxes dont get filled with ANY text, not even the Logged In As before the variable. So I guess the "startupvars.onLoad = function(success){" code is not being run.
I am running Windows 7/64 and Master Collection. I've created a clip of DV NTSC footage to test F4V publishing. Done this many times with CS3 and flv files but this has me stumped. I can successfully view the video and web page locally in IE and Netscape but on upload to my server I have the menu and placement right but no video appears. I created the clip in Premiere Pro CS5 and exported to F4V/FLV best quality. Opened an Actionscript Media DV NTSC template in Flash Pro CS5 and imported the video which I had pre-placed in my root web folder locally. I then exported the swf and saved the fla. All files were then in my root folder and the scrpts in the scripts folder. In Live View in Dreamweaver CS5 all looked fine. In each browser locally the video played as expected. Once all files were uploaded the video was not visible.

I've got a project that loads a couple of external flv videos. It works great locally but when I upload it to a web server I just get a blank screen.
Googling reveals two possible issues... server mime types, and flv path issues.
Everything is in the same folder so I'm doubting it's a path issue.
If it's the mime type issue, how do I go about fixing it? My host is dreamhost.
*update, I tried adding the following two lines to my .htaccess file but it didn't change anything:
AddType application/andrew-inset ez
AddType video/x-flv flv
Here is the html: [URL]
And here is the whole project in a zip if anyone has time to take a look:

There was always a flash movie on the homepage and it worked fine. A couple days ago I replaced the movie with a new one and added a .swf to the portfolio page as well. On the portfolio page, the movie is layered behind a series of transparent .pngs that link to their corresponding lightbox designations. The movie just plays, there isn't any interaction this way, atleast not in flash.
The problem: Everything works perfectly fine locally on all browsers and not at all on the server across all browsers. I have seen this problem before and read alot of posts about it.I know I have the proper scripts files. I've re-saved flash movies, changed their location within the site, published them with the appropriate settings, nothing seems to do the trick. Whats worse is that the lightbox doesn't even work online and it runs fine locally. Infact you cant even click on the .pngs and they aren't positioned the same with the css as they are viewed locally. I've overwritten the css with the up-to-date stylesheet many times as well
I created the movie in a new folder, so I owuld have all the files... fss.html, fss.swf and MinimaFlatCustomColorPlayBackSeekCounterVolMute.swf I uploaded all these to the server.....

I found a cool prototype function here in the forums that plays a movieclip backwards:[code]I have the protoype defined on the main timeline of my main file. I call the function on press of a button from an external movieclip after it's loaded into main.When testing it in flash it works beautifully. When I test it online it doesn't work at all. Other code on the button being called at the same time does work (like unloading a movieclip on the main timeline).

It plays perfectly well in 'Publish Preview' and when you launch the HTML page offline. However it won't play online. First I published it in Flash 8, where I'd created it, uploaded the swf and the html. In Firefox it loaded a blank page which revealed on right click that there was a Flash movie there, but you couldn't see it or do anything. In IE it just stuck half way through loading. Then I resaved it in Flash CS3 and published it with AC_runactivecontent.js. Uploaded it to my site and the result was exactly the same. To check my syntax a friend uploaded it to his webspace, and put another swf on the same page using the same syntax. The new swf played, but mine didn't. The 'publish settings' for the two were the same. Again, if you look at the page offline both play. My friend made some changes to the FLA and published it successfully on his webspace. He suggested the file size may have been a problem: I had had some fairly large audio files in it and 'updated' them to smaller ones. The resulting swf was 6mb. We wondered if the old ones had been retaines somewhere, boosting the file size. The only other difference I can see between his version and mine is that there's a font I used which wasn't on his PC. His version has it as Arial (there is only one word in the whole thing). I took his version, deleted the sound files and reimported the smaller versions, which then published as a 3mb file. But now it doesn't play! Results in IE and FF exactly as above.
