swf plays fine locally but won't play when uploaded

#1 (**permalink**) 08-18-2008, 05:49 AM

OK, so i just created a very simple flash unit with cross fades... published
in flash 9, and dropped the swf file into an html page. on preview it plays
fine. Then when I upload it to the server, the html page loads , but no swf,
nothing. Apparently there are some new extraneous files that are published
along with the swf, but even when I uploaded those to the server, nada,
nothing... Please help.

are you sure that that your paths are correct and you uploaded all the files in the same place?

Don't believe it's the path... I even updated the embedded swf path to be a
complete link to the exact location. I'm guessing it's something to do with the
AC Run Active Content js file??? Not sure. Back in the day one just had to
upload the swf and you were good to go. This is very frustrating... I need to
deliver this to a client asap and I can't even get a simple flash unit to play
off the server... (I've been doing this for years and never run into this
before).

Please help!

Did you ever get an answer to this problem? I'm having the EXACT same issue.
Plays locally, but not after uploaded to my web server...I've checked paths,
they are fine.
Another test I did was to place code for my current swf (the one that doesn't
work) AND a previously created swf file (created in an older version of Flash)
in the same HTML page... the old one worked, and the new one still didn't
work... so I know it's not my server.
This is so frustrating! Please reply if you have the answer to this issue.
Thanks so much!!!
