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 helpWhen 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.

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 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.

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

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???...DIY_Lobotomy wrote:

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 -
[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
MartinHi,
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 -
cffeed caching works locally but not on server
So I got my new Hostek account set up (woohoo!) and I've started uploading some basic files so I can do thinks like validate my code and make sure everything's working. One thing that does not work (but does locally) is my news feed caching.
Pulling in two RSS feeds was seriously slowing down my index page loading, so I stole a trick from Ray Camden on caching the feeds. It works perfectly on my dev machine at home, but doesn't work on my hosted account.
Here's the exact code being used:
<cfset feedurl = "http://velonews.competitor.com/feed">
<cfset cacheTime = #createtimespan(1,0,0,0)#>
<cfif not structKeyExists(application,"rsscache") or dateDiff("n", application.rsscache.created, now()) gt cacheTime>
<cffeed source="#feedurl#" query="entries">
<cfset application.rsscache = structNew()>
<cfset application.rsscache.data = entries>
<cfset application.rsscache.created = now()>
</cfif>
<ul>
<cfloop query="#application.rsscache.data#" startrow="1" endrow="6">
<cfoutput><li><a href="#rsslink#">#title#</a></li></cfoutput>
</cfloop>
</ul>
I tried wrapping a try/catch around the top section (above the <ul>) and still got nothing for an error message. The page just stops being rendered at that first <ul>.
I'm not sure why it works locally but not on the web server. Any ideas?Miraculously, I got it working.
I changed this:
<cfloop query="#application.rsscache.data#" startrow="1" endrow="6">
<cfoutput><li><a href="#rsslink#">#title#</a></li></cfoutput>
</cfloop>
To this:
<cfoutput maxrows="6" query="application.rsscache.data">
<li><a href="#rsslink#">#title#</a></li>
</cfoutput>
And bingo! It worked. Perhaps it's an idiosyncrasy between CF9 and CF10. -

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.

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,
SiriThey'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

at com.sQrt121.utils::LoadJob()
at com.sQrt121.utils::ContentLoader$/addJob()
at AbrMain/init()
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:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<abrMain
width = "300"
height = "250"
pauseOnOver = "off"
>
<item swf = "/Users/Siri/Documents/gullstolen/hjemmeside/flash/produkter/deploy/abrcontent.swf" xml = "xml/abrContent.xml" config = "xml/config.xml"/>
<item swf = "/Users/Siri/Documents/gullstolen/hjemmeside/flash/produkter/deploy/abrbuttonscolor.swf" xml = "xml/abrButtonsColor.xml" config = "xml/config.xml"/>
<item swf = "/Users/Siri/Documents/gullstolen/hjemmeside/flash/produkter/deploy/abrpreloadercircle.sw f" xml = "xml/abrPreloaderCircle.xml" config = "xml/config.xml"/>
<item swf = "/Users/Siri/Documents/gullstolen/hjemmeside/flash/produkter/deploy/abrpreloaderline.swf" xml = "xml/abrPreloaderLine.xml" config = "xml/config.xml"/>
<item swf = "/Users/Siri/Documents/gullstolen/hjemmeside/flash/produkter/deploy/abrplaypause.swf" xml = "xml/abrPlayPause.xml" config = "xml/config.xml"/>
</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.

Facetime works local but not long distance
i have been using facetime for 2 years. Last week (soon after upgrade 8.2) my service became intermitant. it works locally, but long distances it is ringing but no one is answering...
I am using airport extreme....so not sure if its extreme or something else causing this...chris, thanks so much but i think it has to do with port somehow.
since i am out of the us it works fine in where i am at, but trying to get to the us in just rings off the hook and no one can pickup....so it gets a notification that the call is coming through but ends at that point.....and i am just pushing voice only not video.
other people where i am at use facetime and are able to talk to people in the US...I have been doing so until 1 week ago, when i downloaded 8.2 Thanks for your reply looking forward to understanding what else i can do......
ps already installed firmware in extreme...but didn't solve the issue. -
Flash video works locally but not on server
I am hoping that someone can help me solve this problem. I cannot seem to fix it. I have created a flash video and it works fine locally but doesn't when I upload it to the server. All I get is a white blank screen. I can access the Flash settings but the video doesn't display. I have checked all file paths, which are correct since everything is in the same folder. I have looked up other forums trying to find a solution but nothing has worked yet. Does anyone here have any idea on how to solve this problem?
My operating system is Windows XP. I am using IE8 browser and my flash player is up to date. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.Nevermind. I ended up solving the problem on my own. This old guide that I used before ended up helping me out. I will post the link here in case anyone else has the same problem.

Javascript working locally but not on sever
Hello,

So i have a website that's been online for years, which using a javascript scroller that i found online, a long while ago.
Yesterday i made some site edits, that didn't (so far as I'm aware) involve messing with any of the javascript or links to external CSS or script files, but suddenly the scroller isn't working any more.
Oddly though, it works locally in Live Design view, and in all browsers previewed locally too (usinag MAMP server)... but just not online.
Why did it suddenly stop working?
Here is al link to a stripped down version of teh problem, and i'd be grateful of any help anyone can offer:

Well, that has to work both ways. On your site and On the
giving data server side.
It needs XML file on the root of the directory allowing you
to take the data.
Otherwise we could cross domain people traffic w/o their
consent.
So, I don't expect yahoo to drop such xml just for you and
because that's the case,
you will need to work around it using proxy on your domain.
When you request the file from your domain, your domain
requests it from yahoo and
hands it off as if it was yours. That's the only way around
it.
