Preloader: works locally but not when live

1. give that you have website A, website B and local
directory structure
2. give that you have a class based (see code snippet 2
below) 444k swf
sitting on website A
3. give that you have a preloader swf on the local directory
structure
[that uses code in CODE SNIPPET 1]. _debug.text shows that
bytes total is
454103 and that the preloader rises smoothly up to that
point. great!
4. give that you move said preloader swf on to website B.
_debug.text
shows that bytes total is -1 for a bit, then undefined
and.... that's
about all until the swf actually finishes loading at which
point we
briefly see 454103 before displaying the swf
eh?

ok, the trick is to use MovieClipLoader instead. its
onLoadProgress method does just the job you want... :)
thank &*$£ for that. :)

Azure SQL database working locally but not when published to Azure

I have an
AngularJS solution that is connecting to a SQL Azure database. When
I run the solution locally, it’s configured to connect up to the SQL Azure database, the solution works fine. However,
when I publish the solution to Azure the connection to the SQL Azure database does not work.
When debugging with Chrome I get the error Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 500 (Internal Server
Error)
I'm not using EF. but dapper.
My connectionstring is as follows
<add name="PortalConnection" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" connectionString="Server=tcp:xxx.database.windows.net,1433;Database=xxx;User ID="xxx";Password="xxx";Trusted_Connection=False;Encrypt=True;Connection
Timeout=30;"/>
When I run the web solution locally from Visual Studio, my sql queries runs like it should, it's only the published version having problems.
Any ideas?
Software Developer

Hi,
Thanks for answer.
I had followed that step by step guide for deploying to Windows Azure. So that was not the problem.
But I was able to get a better error message by turning off custom error in web.config.
I got the error message: "Windows login are not supported in this version of SQL Server"
I solved this by using the SqlConnectionStringBuilder instead of getting the connection string from
web.config.
So everything works great now, just think it's strange it worked locally before..

Cfmail - works locally but not when uploaded

Hi,
I'm using cfmail with form variables for the email addreses.
It's so users can send email to political candidates. Here's the
code:
<cfoutput>#Form.semails#</cfoutput>,<cfoutput>#Form.hemails#</cfoutput></p>
<cfmail to="#Form.semails#,#Form.hemails#"
replyto="#Form.useremail#" failto="[email protected]"
from="#Form.useremail#" subject="Keep Maine Toxin-Free!"
server="mail.nosuch.com" port="26" timeout="40"
username="[email protected]" password="nosuch">
#Form.usermessage#
</cfmail>
The form submit page collects those variables and passes them
as form variables - GET. The "to" field in cfmail is populated by
hidden fields that contain session variables... they're forwarded
on as those .semails and .hemails form variables. Actual values
have been replaced with "none" or "nosuch" for security, but you
can see the structure anyway.
This works when run locally, sends the emails as it should.
When uploaded exactly as is to godaddy's server, it doesn't send
emails. Doesn't throw any errors, the form results page displays as
it should... but the emails just never get sent.
I'd really appreciate any ideas...

Unfortunately all that can't be done by us users of these
shared hosting
outfits. You'll need to contact GoDaddy support and ask them
to take
these steps. I'm sorry about your probably experience with
this.
While I use GoDaddy for my personal hosting where I care more
about not
spending a great deal of money over high performance. I do
not wish my
support experiences on anybody. If you know ColdFusion well
and can
tell support what needs to be done, they should be able to do
it. Or,
more likely, you would be able to figure out the self help
tools to do
it yourself. But, unless this has changed since my last
experience,
their support staff is not ColdFusion literate and are unable
to guide
other, inexperienced ColdFusion users.
Saying all that. Email works just fine on my GoDaddy website
and I do
not believe I had to do anything special to use it.

Flv player works locally but not when uploaded

Another day, another issue...
I have a flash movie that includes an flv player with previews and buttons. It reads the content from an xml file.
It works without problem when I test it locally. Trouble is when I upload it, everything displays correctly but the flv movie file doesn't play. Here's the test link:
http://www.swsoftware.com/ncjhs/assets/video/flvplayer.html
XML file is http://www.swsoftware.com/NCJHS/Assets/Video/video.xml
Flash file is http://www.swsoftware.com/ncjhs/assets/video/flvplayer.fla
Anyone have any suggestions? I'm new to flash and this forum has been a tremendous help in resolving my (somewhat numerous) problems.

Var Request Works Locally but not when Placed Online

When I run this code on machine locally, it works perfect, however when I put it online it no longer works, can anybody help?
Additionally the only the reason i placed the var request in a function was because I have another var request earlier in the code as was not sure how to run it without a duplicate entry error.
goresult();
function goresult() {
     var request:URLRequest=new URLRequest("http://www.whichpartyshouldivotefor.co.uk/wp-content/themes/test/leadingparty.php");
     request.method=URLRequestMethod.GET;
     var getresult:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
     getresult.dataFormat=URLLoaderDataFormat.VARIABLES;
     getresult.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeHandler);
     getresult.load(request);
function completeHandler(evt:Event) {
     var conservativeresult=evt.target.data.conservative;
     var libdemresult=evt.target.data.libdem;
     var labourresult=evt.target.data.labour;
     trace (conservativeresult);
     vote.text = conservativeresult;

My best guess is that you are coming across a security sandbox violation - AKA a crossdomain scripting error.
This means that you need a crossdomain.xml on the root of your web-host that allows "whichpartyshouldivotefor.co.uk"

[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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

IWeb snippets working locally but not working when uploaded to ISP

I am using iWeb 3.0.2. When I add an HTML snippet to a page to add an item to a shopping cart [ADD TO CART], then publish and view site, the snippet works perfectly.
However when I upload the page to the ISP, the snippet is not displayed even though I can see all the necessary 'widget1_markup.html' present in the page source, and when I browse for that widget URL it is present.
Is something missing from the ISP to process this type of facility, or is it something else.
Your suggestions gratefully received.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. 3What's the URL of your site so we can examine it first hand? While this is just a guess without looking at your site I'd say that not all of the files in your site's Scripts folder are getting uploaded to the server.
How are you uploading the files? With iWeb's FTP client or a 3rd party client? If it's iWeb's client, publish your site to a folder on your hard drive and use the free Cyberduck client to upload the files.

Captivate 5.5: preloader shows locally but not on web site

What could be happening on my server that prevents my Captivate 5.5 AS3 preloader from displaying?
I can see a blip when I preview the courses locally, and when I upload files to another server, I can see the preloader display perfectly. But on my usual server, which used to show the preloader, I just get a few seconds of blank screen before my course plays.
So Captivate is working OK, but what could be happening on my server which until today was behaving properly? (Yes, I'll contact my hosting service, but if you've run across a similar issue and maybe a solution, any ideas you have may help me talk with them.)
Thanks!

Rick, I have a weird problem now.
my files sometimes load and sometimes don't!
when I place the url on the current webpage (where the index is) - the files load.
when i click them from the index file, a new window opens up but the files don't load.
this behavior is not consistent. a few hours ago it did work.
any ideas???

Works locally but not remotely

Hi,
I'm loading jpegs randomly into my .fla. It works fine
locally, and it worked fine when I tested it on my personal
website. But on my company's site, the jpegs don't load. I'm
thinking maybe it's a path issue, but not sure what the fix
is...any help would be welcome.
This is the code I'm using:
randomNum = Math.round(Math.random()*15);
loadMovie(randomNum+".jpg", this.blank");
I've tried adding a path like
/graphics/flash/2007jazzfest/this.blank but it doesn't like the /.
I've tried quotes around everything, but it doesn't work...
You can see it work at:
http://www.willyurman.com/Test/jazzfest2007.html
1. click skip intro to get past the opening
2. click either small red 'jazz fest' button in the upper
right or left. It should take you to the credit page where a
different jazz quote appears at random at the bottom.
On my work site, everything works except that the quotes just
don't load.
I go live with this Friday night(the 8th) so any help would
be appreciated :)
thanks
will

comment out that code. hardcode one jpeg to load and test.
does that work?
if yes, copy and paste the code that works and copy and paste
the code that fails.
if not, your path may be wrong or your jpegs may be
corrupted. to check which, enter the path/file name of one of the
jpegs in your browser window. if it loads, the path in your swf is
wrong. if it doesn't load you may have the wrong path in your
browser and in flash, or your jpg is corrupt.

RSS Widget works locally but not on website

I used the RSS widget to insert the following RSS feed:
feed://www.bpkids.org/updates.xml
I have also tried inserting with http:// instead of feed:// but no difference
When I publish the site and check it on my local folder, it works. But when I post it to my website, it shows nothing.
This is the first time I've used the RSS widget. It seems straight forward enought, however, I've read in these discussions that there was a bug with the RSS widget recently that was causing it not to work and wasn't sure if this is still a problem. Thanks

That is a crossdomain issue because you have the site
accessible via www or without.
If you use

to access that page it will work.
