Flash appears locally but not online

I've got a test document here:
http://www.atlas-inspection.com/newsite/template.html
There is supposed to be a flash animation in the center top
banner area. It works great on my local computer and the file IS
there on the remote server (
http://www.atlas-inspection.com/newsite/flash/atlas.swf)
but it's just blank for me and I can't figure out why.
Help?
Thanks!

I solved my problem. Please consider this closed.
Thanks!

Flash works locally, but not online!...

I put a .SWF on a blank web page. It launches and plays fine
locally if I launch the page from my hard drive, but online I just
get a blank white page. Here's the link:
http://al-i.anixter.com/TEMP/flashTemplate/index.html
Any ideas?! Thanks!...

Just realized if you right-click on the page and click
"forward", it advances and works. I'd think it was something in the
preloader code, but maybe not, because if the preloader was messed
up, then I'd think it wouldn't work locally either, right?...
UPDATED:
Nevermind - figured it out! Stupid coding error in the
preloader!!!

Flash site works locally but not online (uploaded to server)

We have bought a flash portfolio template and have customized it with our pictures, video, etc.
When we test it locally on our computer (using different web browsers) it all works perfectly well. We have uploaded the finished website to our server and when you go to the address online, it doesn't work (a loader progress shows but it is stopped and nothing happens).
We have however uploaded the original template we bought and it works perfectly online.
The template consists of and index.html, various .swf, and various .xml that we have modified according to the template instructions (it also contains a java script folder we haven't touched).
What is it wrong with our modified template - it works locally without problem…!
Thanks for your help

When a Flash file works locally but not on-line, it's almost always a pathing issue (provided you did upload ALL files and do not have something missing... as suggested by Ned).
A "pathing issue" results when the main .swf cannot find one or more of the associated Flash files...like an xml file or images.
It can be something as simple as using switching file names to all lower case. Local machine is not case sensative... most servers are. So "My Photo.JPG" is not the same as "my_photo.jpg". When naming files, best to use all lower case, no spaces in any file or folder names... use_underscore_instead.
But the most common cause is that those associated files (xml, images, etc.) are not pathed relative to the Web page where the main .swf is embedded. Pathing to the .xml and image files should be as though the .swf was located in the same folder as the Web page... NOT the actual location of the .swf file.
And that includes paths to the xml file and paths to image files coded into those xml files. Everything need to be coded relative to the Web page.

Make sure your server is configured to serve .flv files. Ask
your host if
there is a mime type set up for that file extension.

Applet working on local but not online

my applet working on local machine fine
but when i upload applet on my website
and access by my machine only interface
show and when i click the button of applet
no result produce....
thankx

It is only possible if you missed something for code or codebase attribute of Applet tag, I mean values for these attributes are fine for your local machine but not with the server you are using.

Spry Horizontal menu works locally but not online.

Hi people I built a site in Dreamwever CS5.5 and used a spry widget menu. It works great in firefox when I run it locally, but when I try to access a page from the online server it's rubbish. I've uploaded all of the JS files a couple of times and even copied some to multiple locations but still no joy. Any advice would be appreciated, the website is to promote a very noble cause. website is www.stopthetoad.com.au

Hi Gramps,
Thanks for your help, from the look of the previous posts on this forum
you may need to change your name to Altruistic Guru.
This is actually a site that my 14 years old daughter (Jessica) has put
together and I'm very proud of her for the effort that she is giving in
her own time without possibility of reward (other than having our native
species survive another generation).
Any further advice you can offer will go a long way towards getting
those feral toads out of our country.
We've upload all files via cuteftp, Dreamweaver and even manually 1 file
at a time!
But it still wont work. When we try to load a page we get a series of
messages such as
SpryMenu.js requires SpryWidget.js
SpryMenuBarKeyNavigationPlugin.js requires SpryMenu.js!
All of the files that the messages refer to have been uploaded several
times but we still get the messages.
The spry Ui-1.7 folder with all relevanr folders/files is in my
public_html folder on the server. Should I move all of the Spry folders
contents into the public_html folder or somewhere else?
I expected Dreamweaver to do all of this for her perfectly, we must have
gone wrong somewhere.
This is a screenshot of the cuteftp screen showing all of the files in
the public_html folder. You'll notice that I've copied some spry files
into this folder also (will this cause problems)
Kind regards,
David

Published F4v video and html plays locally but not online...

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.
The file is located here...
http://www.goodmangraphic.com/2010vid.htm
in the root directory are... Sequence 01_1.f4v, minimaflatcustomcolorall.swf, 2010movie.swf, 2010movie.fla and in the scripts folder, expressinstall.swf and swfobject_modified.js.
Thanks in advance for any guidance on what I may be doing wrong.
John

Ross,
As you suggested I checked the fla and indeed the local path was there so I changed it to it's relative path, then re exported the swf and saved the fla, re-uploading the files. No luck on ability to see online or even local preview. So I then reset the file location to use the actual URL online and that would not work and even in fla showed an error it could not connect to the file. So I reverted to local naming of the file again to test and sure enough it previewed fine locally in both browsers but again reverting to a relative path or http, failed to sucessfully see the video.
I am not having these issues with flv format, just the f4v. As an example here is the flv version using the url in the fla file attributes...
http://www.goodmangraphic.com/2010vid_b.htm
BTW - I simply renamed the extension after duplicatng the file for the video in this example.
Appreciate the help.
John

LoadMovie works locally, but not online...

I have the following command on a frame:
holder_mc.loadMovie("/NF/mp3player.swf");
When independently launching the .SWF, or when testing the
movie in Flash, the "holder_mc" loads the "mp3player.swf" just
fine. But when posted online (or even testing locally inside a
browser), it doesn't load at all. I have copied the directory
structures from my local hard drive to my online server EXACTLY...
Any ideas???...

This is exactly what I'm telling you about. DO NOT USE PATHS
from the perspective
of flash file but the html file where the flash is. FLASH
path is irrelevant
here. It means nothing. IF the HTML is in the root of the
server, the FLASH file
thinks it is in the root of the server too so it will seek it
files from that place
not from its original location.
You need to load your file using:
audio/WT/mp3player.swf
not
WT/mp3player.swf

Shared Object working locally but not online

My game records your high score using the sharedobject and while testing it locally it works fine, but when the swf is published and played online, it is not recording the hi score. Is there some sort of new security issue with saving shared objects on people's hard drives now?

In Frame 1 I have this code. The first is for game progress, the second is for the high score which is then passed to the text object
var Progress:SharedObject = SharedObject.getLocal("progress", "/");
var OwlHiScore:SharedObject = SharedObject.getLocal("owlhiscore", "/");
hisc.mainScore.text = (OwlHiScore.data.HiScore).toString();
Then on the last frame where the game is over I have this code:
if (score > OwlHiScore.data.HiScore) {
          hiScoreWon = true;
OwlHiScore.data.HiScore = score;
OwlHiScore.flush();
          hiScoreHolder.hiScoreEffect.mainScore.text = (OwlHiScore.data.HiScore).toString();
} else {
          hiScoreWon = false;

Flash videos showing locally, but not on my site. help please

Hi,
I converted several avi's to flash, I then inserted the FLV
file into and html file in dreamweaver.
The flash files will play locally, but not when i upload them
to web server. Check it out here please
http://kdsi.org/kds/demo.html
please check the demos above to see what i mean. I just get a
blank page.
Anyway to insert video into the page like youtube? (instead
of the "demo video" button have the video embedded and just click
play to play it. without using the popup like i did.)
thank you.
thanks

Hi,
I am sorry i did not get what you mean with the last
sentence, but generally, this may be a path problem, you need to
check your FLV path and make it meet the path on the server not the
local machine.

right off the top ..
You have two script calls to the Scripts folder and file ..
one is root
relative and the other goes up one level. One of them needs
to be removed.

Swf works locally, but not on server

I have an issue with an xml-driven swf file. It plays fine when I test the site locally, but not when it's uploaded to a server. Here is a link to the page. There are many posts on this and other forums describing the same problem, though I can't find the right solution. The only thing it has convinced me of, is that it is probably a pathing problem. I purchased the file online, and instead of one swf and one xml there are about ten of each to make it work. In addition to this there are about 40 .as files. (all this to make it "easier" to customize). Since I plan to use this banner rotator on multiple pages, it will be very unconvenient to upload all these files for every page I make. I checked with support for this product, and was told I could make a flash directory, only duplicating the xml-files for each new page and linking the xml back to the swf-files. Otherwise the support answer was very short and unhelpful. I have renamed every path in the xmls so that it should be right. As I said, the file works locally, so I'm not sure what I am doing wrong.
I have posted in adobe forums before, and I have alwas found helpful and kind responses.
Thank you,
Siri

They're all uploaded to the server, it is also possible for me to dowload them from there. When i run the main swf file through flash player debugger, I get this message:
Error #2044: Unhandled ioError:. text=Error #2032: Stream Error. URL: file:///Users/Siri/Documents/gullstolen/hjemmeside/flash/produkter/deploy/xml/abrMain.xml

So I guess it can't locate the xml folder (since it is not there), but I don't know how to change the path. I can change it in the xml, pointing to the swf, but how do I do it the other way?
This is the main xml-file:

</abrMain>
the abrMain.xml tells the swf what files it shold use, and where to find them, but where do I tell the abrMain.swf to find the xml? Maybe this is an issue for product support instead, though they only answer short and cryptic.

Links work in Dreamweaver but not online

Hello, I am trying to figure out why my flash files work correctly locally but don't after I upload them. I am using Mac Flash CS4 and AS2. (They were CS3 files originally)
When I use Safari to view the uploaded files and check the Activity window it shows the files load but they don't show up. I have a main swf and others are loaded into it using:
on (release) {
loadMovieNum("flash/links.swf", 1);
Are there any known bugs/work arounds to be aware of? Thanks. -Derryl

Almost always when something works locally but not on line... it's a path problem. And I see that you are accessing your .swf from a sub file.... nothing at all wrong with that, but you do need to understand how pathing in Flash works:
Pathing issues
Almost always when it works on the local machine and not the server, it's a pathing problem.
You can put your Flash related files in whatever folders you want, they do NOT have to be in the root, they do NOT all have to be in the same folder. But if you have a problem and if sticking them all in the root folder works, then you know that the issue was a pathing problem.
Just remember that paths used in the .swf become relative to the Web page on which the .swf is placed, NOT it’s physical location. So for example, if your .swf is in the flash/data folder and you use that .swf on a Web page in the root folder, you are in effect, removing that .swf from flash/data and putting it in root. So if the .swf is loading any related files (xml, images, video, etc), the path used inside the .swf to load the .xml file has to be relative to it's new location in root and then back down into flash/data. This is true even though when testing the .swf by itself, it can be inside flash/data and work just fine, since relative to it's location, the path is just fine, they are in the same folder. But if that same path is used when the .swf is placed on a page two folder levels up, the relative path has changed, the old "same folder" path will not work.
In fact if you are placing the .swf on a web page in a different folder than the .swf is stored in, and that .swf calls external assets, then direct clicking and opening of the .swf in it’s folder should NOT work! That’s because the paths to the external assets should be relative to the Web page and not the physical location of the .swf.
So just be sure that you use addresses relative to the final Web page locations (not physical file locations) and you can put the Flash related files in what ever folders you want.

[AS3] EventDispatcher works locally but not remotely

Hi,
I am very new to Action Script and have the following
problem. I hope someone can point me in the right direction.
I have a small video player app. I have added the FLVPlayback
component to the stage and set some properties via action script
(AS 3)
I then instantiate a class to go and retrieve some XML,
register an eventListener to wait for the XML to be loaded and once
the event has fired, load the FLV file (just hard coded at the
moment) into the FLVPlayback object.
This works when testing in the Flash IDE but not when I
publish the movie to my webserver. I have tried commenting out the
player.load() and just adding a textfield and again this works
locally but not when I publish to the webserver. I have included
some code snippets below.
Can anyone tell me where I am going wrong?
Any pointers much appreciated.
Thanks
Martin

Hi,
I found the problem if anyone has the same issue. I was
passing some FlashVars in incorrectly using the
AC_RunActiveContent.js that comes with Flash. I have switched to
swfobject and all is well.
thanks
