Uploading flash website problem

Question

I made a website in flash and everything is working fine in
the files. When I tested the site on my computer everything was
working just the way it should. However when I finally uploaded it
to my server not everything worked. I had 3 galleries that wont
load, videos that start playing automaticlly( I have them stopped
until the user hits play) and a music player that works great
except one song does not play. I am so confused as to what is
happening I do not even know how to fix it. I have tried loading
the site to 2 different servers and the same problem happens on
both, my files work fine, just not on the internet. Has this happen
to anyone and more importantly do you know how to fix it? I really
need to get this site up soon and I don't know what to do.
Any suggest would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

Hi manada,
Issues like these are usually something very simple, just not
always obvious.
>I had 3 galleries that wont load, videos that start

>and a music player that works great except one song does

I assume you are loading these externally into your main
movie?
If so, are you using actionscript which references the _root
timeline?
If you are, try to add:
this._lockroot = true;
on the first frame on the _root timeline of each movie. See
if this helps!
Another issue would be that the server might not allow script
access from Active content...but you have uploaded to 3 different
servers, it's hard to believe none of them allow it.
maybe its worth looking into?
Try that, and see how it goes. if you are still having
problems, post a link to the site, and i'm sure we will find a
solution.
