Flash :: Flash Movie Works Locally But Won't Work Online

Sound Actionscript - Works Locally Not Online - Flash Mx
The following code works on my local machine but not when I upload.

I have a video which I use as a background to one section of the site. I load it into an empty mc which has the code below attached.

The scaling part works fine.

The part that causes problems is the audio. I want the Audio for the background video to play if the user is NOT listening to a mp3 (its a music artist site).
If they are listening to a mp3 I want it to be a silent video.
I use the _root.MP3Active to track if a mp3 is playing
0 = not playing
1 = playing.

I guess my problem is associated with the fact that the video loads instantly on my local macjhine but not online?

any ideas how to fix this or do it differently?
thanks mark

Code:
onClipEvent(load){
_root.BGVideoSound = new Sound(this);
}
onClipEvent(data){
this._xscale = 300;
this._yscale = 300;
_root.BGVideoSound.setVolume(0);
if(_root.MP3Active == 1){
_root.BGVideoSound.setVolume(0);
}
else{
_root.BGVideoSound.setVolume(100);
}
}

Flash Links Work Locally But Not Online
Hi,

I am having a problem with a flash movie when it is on my machine with a relative path the link to our website page works fine but when I upload the flash movie it doesn't click anywhere. The flash movie is located on a different sub domain to the page it is hosted on and so has an absolute URL and I can't put it anywhere else.

Works Locally But Not Online?
I have a flash app that sends variables to asp. It works fine when tested locally but when I upload it and test it, it never sends the variables... Weird!

This is the script:

PHP Code:

on (release) {
    if (!epost.length || epost.indexOf("@") == -1 || epost.indexOf(".") == -1) {
        gotoAndStop(8);
    } else if (!name.length) {
        gotoAndStop(8);
    } else if (!adress.length) {
        gotoAndStop(8);
    } else if (!postnr.length) {
        gotoAndStop(8);
    } else if (!ort.length) {
        gotoAndStop(8);
    } else {
        ContestID = "147";
        loadVariablesNum("http://195.178.168.92/contest_skriv.asp", "0", "POST");
        gotoAndStop(9);
    }
}

Works Locally But Not Online?
I'm kinda new to flash and fter weeks of getting this rather simple flash project to work on my hard drive I can't get it to work online.
http://www.cashton.co.uk/photos.swf
Its an XML driven photo gallery that currently has two major problems
1) Only some of the thumbs show up. All of Abel Tasman does but none of Auckland. I made all the thumbs in photoshop using an automated process of resizing and saving for web.
They're all under 2kb, non progressive, have lowercase names and extensions with no spaces in the filename. The file structure online is identical to the one on my hard drive

2) Only a few of the main photos display themselves the second one in Abel Tasman does but none of the others in the same folder do. Like the thumbs I made them all inexactly the same way and they're all under 25Kb so loading time shouldn't be more than a few secs on broadband.

I just can't think whats wrong as it works perfectly locally

Can anyone take a guess what might be wrong?

P.S. Yes I know the font on the buttons is hard to read its on my "to fix later list"

StartDrag Works Locally But Not Online...
Hi All,

I have actionscript that works locally, works when i test in dreamweaver but refuses to work when i upload it to my client's server.

This is extremely exhausted because i completely changed the page around because the first effect i had did the same thing - worked locally and not online. And now the second effect is doing the exact same thing!!!

Can someone guide me to where the bottleneck might be...i'm stuck!

Code Works Locally But Not Online...?
This loads in a movie based upon your selection of quality with a preloader...

code:
loadListener = new Object();
loadListener.complete = function(eventObj){
pBar._visible = false;
rrs_mc._visible = false;

}
loader.addEventListener("complete", loadListener);
loader.autoLoad = false;
loader.contentPath = "http://www.ramsredson.com/frame2.swf";
loader.load();
pBar.source=loader;
stop();

loader - loader component
pBar - progress bar component (event mode)

when i run this online it hides the pBar and rrs_mc instantly then loads the movie. However if i run it locally the progress bar works and on completion it hides the pBar and rrs_mc. Any ideas, or other ways to make it work? thanks

.getHours(); Works Locally But Not Online
Hi all, wondered if you help me with this one...

I've got an if statement which controls a background for three different times of the day, day, midday, night.
The problem is that once uploaded the night if statement does work. It does however seem to work locally though, that bizarre right!?

var hour = new Date().getHours();
trace("hour= "+hour);
if (hour>0 && hour<5) {
gotoAndPlay(40);

}
else if (hour>5 && hour<11) {
gotoAndPlay("day");
trace("day");
}
else if (hour>11 && hour<18) {
gotoAndPlay("miday");
trace("midday");
}
else if (hour>=18) {
gotoAndPlay(“night”);
trace("night");
};

Any one got any ideas, thanks in advance

[F8] 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???...

If/else Statement Works Locally, But Not Online
This is in CS3 exported to player 8. I've got an external swf inside a container, and inside that contained swf is another external swf in a container. Like so: root/container/humanHolder.

So this code is inside "container" timeline and should make the swf in "humanHolder" go to a specifically named frame if the swf is on a frame less than 339.

The code works on my drive, but not after uploaded to my site. Any idea why?

PHP Code:

if (_root.container.humanHolder._currentframe <= "339") { _root.container.humanHolder.gotoAndPlay("beamOut01");} else { _root.container.humanHolder.gotoAndPlay("beamOut02");}

[CS3] PrintJob Works Locally Not Online
I have a movie that prints a text block that the user has entered. It works correctly locally, but when I put it online it makes one big black rectangle. Any ideas why that would happen? I'll copy the code below:

Code:
printNotes_btn.onRelease = function() {
//copy all text to a mc off stage..
textHolder_mc.autoSize = "left";
textHolder_mc.text = notes.text;

var mh:Number = textHolder_mc._height;
var pageCount:Number = 0;
var my_pj:PrintJob = new PrintJob();
if (my_pj.start()) {
trace("h/w is "+ mh+","+my_pj.pageHeight);
if (Number(mh) > Number(my_pj.pageHeight)) {
trace("here");
var pnum:Number = Math.ceil(mh/my_pj.pageHeight);
trace(pnum);
for (var i:Number = 0; i<pnum; i++) {
var ymn:Number = my_pj.pageHeight*i;
var ymx:Number = ymn+my_pj.pageHeight;
my_pj.addPage("textHolder_mc", {xMin:0, xMax:my_pj.pageWidth, yMin:ymn, yMax:ymx},{printAsBitmap:true},16);
pageCount++;
}
} else {
my_pj.addPage("textHolder_mc", {xMin:0, xMax:my_pj.pageWidth, yMin:0, yMax:my_pj.pageHeight},{printAsBitmap:true},16);
pageCount++;
}
if (pageCount>0) {
trace("will print "+pageCount);
my_pj.send();
}
delete my_pj;
}
};

File Works Locally, Not Online - What Gives?
I've got a file working perfectly on a local machine (the file calls a user-selectable XML file and parses the results on a mocked up radio screen). When I put it online however, it hangs and never loads.

Any ideas? It's great on my local system and all...but...you know...

Form/php Works Locally Not Online
it just doesnt make any sense..
same swf and php.
php is sitting on my server.
when swf is tested locally it sends an email.
when swf is uploaded next to php it doesnt..

it is driving me CRAZY..

should also say, i have field validation and once all fields are accurately filled the submit button loads the variables from the mc that contains the text fields and sends them to the php.. once that is done, it clears all text fields and the submit and reset buttons and loads an acknowledgement text..
this happens locally ..
when online the submit button does nothing of the sort...

anyone?

I am having a weird problem, where my preloader works perfectly fine when I test it in Flash2004 via "stimulate download", but when I upload the swf online, the movie just sits on the first frame. here is the script I used:

In the preloader bar MC(sits on 2nd keyframe in the main stage):

setProperty(this, _xscale, (_root.getBytesLoaded()/_root.getBytesTotal()*100));

On the 2nd keyframe on main stage:

setProperty(this, _xscale, (_root.getBytesLoaded()/_root.getBytesTotal()*100));

GetURL('javascript:blablah();'); - Works Locally, Not Online.
Why would a flash movie call javascript locally, but not do it online? I've created flash movies that call javascript functions all the time. This one has been created by someone else, I'm trying to implement it, and I can't really tell that there's any difference... the button is inside a symbol, but that shouldn't affect anything, right? I don't need to do something like _root.getURL(blahblah) do I?

Error Loading WSDL When Hitting Page Online (works Locally)
when running the swf from Ctrl-Enter and/or running it as a local projector, I have no problems running all the web services that are on a remote server at 64.blah.blah.blah.

However, once I upload the site to our company testing webserver pixelfarminteractive.com, the web services no longer load, giving me this error:
Could not load WSDL

I could have sworn we had this working in a past project thanks to this line of code:
System.security.allowDomain("*");

Is that no longer allowed in Flash 8 player? Or is it purely because the Web service is on a different server? (maybe the old project had the WSDL on the same server the SWF was hosted?)

What's the point of connecting to a shared web service if you can only use it when your flash is on its server?

here's the (hopelessly nondescript) flash help on the matter: http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flash.../00003023.html

LoadMovie And MovieClipLoader Work Always Locally, But Only 80% Online
I have tried both loadMovie and MovieClipLoader to get swf's to load into other swf's. It works perfect locally, but online, it only works about 80% of the time, also the swf's that won't load changes each time. When I look at the temp internet files, the swf that didn't load is there, but it is corrupt and is only 1K when it should be 20K.

Here is the code that I'm using if it's MovieClipLoader
var myMCL = new MovieClipLoader();
function loadNew(movie, frame){
myMCL.unloadClip(frame);
myMCL.loadClip(movie, frame);
}

Here is the code that I'm using if it's loadMovieFrame

this.attachMovie("loadMovieFrame",1);
function loadNew(movie, frame){
unloadMovie(frame);
loadMovie(movie, frame);
}

This is an example of what is being passed to the function loadNew

loadNew("logout.swf", "loadMovieFrame");

Any Ideas?

Script Works In Flash, Doesn't Work Online
I have a Flash movie that is broken into two parts, and each part has a STOP command at the end of it. What I would like to do is to have a part play based on the current date. So, if the day of the month is greater than "7" part ONE plays, if not, part TWO plays.

When I Preview the movie within Flash it works correctly. However, once I load it to my server it does not. It always plays Part One; it's as if it is ignoring the Actionscript.

I've attached the code below, which I have on its own dedicated track in Flash. Any assistance with this will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your time.

Attach Code

var now=new Date();
trace (now);

var myDate = new Date();
trace(myDate);

Check = myDate.getDate();
trace(Check);

if (Check >'7') {
gotoAndPlay(25);
} else {

gotoAndPlay(5);
}

Help: Swfs Stalling Out Online But Work Fine Locally?
http://www.bnatax.com/tm/cs_catalog.htm

some of the little product demo/tutorials pieces i did at the above url go bad after they've been on the server for a few days.

i didn't do the html or embed the movies. i just sent the client the swfs and if you click on the 'Using Go To' at that link you'll see the screenshots with bubbles stalls out after like the second frame.

these are really straight-forward flash movies. they just wanted some ppt stuff done up so ppl could see it online so i redid all the copy in flash.

the files are large - like a meg or so- but the client wanted hi res jpgs of the screenshots and assured me that they're audience would all be corporate folks with big fast connections so i didn't do anything fancy with the jpgs.

any advice on this?

could there be some sort of server thing going on? the windows just pop up with the flash piece using javascript from the html links in the page above. i totally don't get why it would work for a while and then fail. browser cache problem? i'm clueless...

thanks.

SWFs Play Locally (they Pull Xml Info From Another Site) But Don't Work Online
Hi there,

I've have built a fairly dynamic flash website that pulls images and text files from an xml file from another server. Now everything works fine when I test it locally but when I upload the files none of it works... The only difference is that the files online are embeded in an fullscreen HTML page.

View here

Click on 3D animation and you can see that the data is undefined.

Any ideas why the swfs can't pull the content in?

Help is really appreciated.

Works Locally - Doesn't Work When I Upload
Hello,
I am working on creating a little flash movie that parses my statistics from guitarhero.com through XML. I'm using AS3 to do this, and i am making great strides to getting to where i want to be.... I uploaded my progress so far to my website, and it's a total no go... However, locally - it works perfectly. Here is how i'm calling the XML file:

Code:

import flash.net.*;
import flash.xml.*

var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.guitarhero.com/accounts/feed/64602.xml")
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();

loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onComplete);
loader.load(request);

function onComplete(evt:Event)
{
var xdata:XML = new XML(loader.data); // using new E4x
accntname.text = xdata..username;
rockstatus.text = xdata..rocker_status;
myrank.text = xdata..campaign_overall_rank;
groupiez.text = xdata..primary_slot.groupies;
lastsong.text = xdata..recent_performances.performance_1.song;
lastscore.text = xdata..recent_performances.performance_1.score;
lastnotesmissed.text = xdata..recent_performances.performance_1.notes_missed;
laststreak.text = xdata..recent_performances.performance_1.best_streak;
}

if anyone has some insight or knows why this wouldn't work on a remote server, i'd be very grateful ;x

LoadMovie Doesn't Work On Server, Works Locally?
so i've developed this portfolio thingy for our company site. i'm using flash MX, but publishing in flash 5, if that matters.
here's the URL:

http://www.nycd.com/test/portfolio/p...io_update.html

the way it works: when you click on one of the thumbnails, it loads the appropriate SWF into a blank movie clip. pretty straightforward.
it works fine locally (running off my hard drive), but when uploaded to the server, it behaves strangely. the movieclips load, but skip the preloader that i've put in them, and just display nothing. however, i know they're loading, because if you wait a few seconds and click on them again, they work... i'm at a loss. any help if appreciated it. if you want to look at the FLAs, they're here:

http://www.nycd.com/test/portfolio/portfolio_update.fla
(the main portfolio piece)
http://www.nycd.com/test/portfolio/ml.fla
(one of the SWFs that loads in)

Same Movie Works Locally On Mac But Not From Site
Hi All,

I created a flash movie on Mac OSX, with Flash MX. It plays fine if I run it from a page or directly from a local drive in a browser. When I upload it to the web server however, it only works on Windows. On Mac it just stops on the first frame and sits there. Ive tried all browsers, all have the Flash 6 plugin. I also tried exporting the movie as Flash 5 and 6, both got the same results. Here is the page with the movie:

If you are on a Mac, you will probably only see a grey page with a dark grey bar and nothing else. If you are on Windows, you will see the 3 animated steps and titles which scroll as you roll over them. This is how it should work on the Mac (and does, however not from a remote server).

Very bizarre. I am totally stumped how to fix it. And my boss is breathing down my throat! Any help or ideas appreciated.

Thanks,

Mike

My Remoting Movie Only Works Locally
hi, I followed the tutorial on the mm site re getting started with remoting, and built a helloWorld swf with a cf component at the back end........it works in test mode and when I publish it locally, but when I publish it on the web, no go........here is the as:

ActionScript Code:
#include "NetServices.as"
#include "NetDebug.as"

function Result()
{
//receives data returned from the method
this.onResult = function(result)
{
result_txt.text += "
Data received from server: "+result;
}

this.onStatus = function(error)
{
trace("Error : " + error.description);
}
}

NetServices.setDefaultGatewayUrl("http://myhost.com/flashservices/gateway");
var gw = NetServices.createGatewayConnection();
var server = gw.getService("path.to.helloworld", new Result());

my_btn.onRelease = function() {
server.sayHello();
}

and when the version on the web loads the movie seems to have problems cos the button doesn't turn the cursor into a hand as it should........I thought it could be a problem with including the as files, but they seem to be in the right place....?

SWF Not Playing Inside Scrolling Movie Clip. Works Locally, But Not On The Web
Alright,
I have several SWF's on different levels all talking to each other and working great. Here's a brief breakdown of the structure.

- level0: has the navigation loader (AS) which brings down the navigation items on level2

- level1: all navigation items bring up content on this level
- level2: the navigation

So basically, you call the navigation level, you choose a link, and it loads the content on level1.

Here's the problem,
on one of the content SWF's (level1) I have a horizontally scrolling image that moves when you click on items on the page. The scrolling works great. It's a a long movie clip that moves left and right depending on what is clicked.

Inside that movie clip I have 5 sections (which correspond to the link being clicked). I've imported SWF's into each of those sections. These SWF's are simply imported AVI's.

So the idea is when you click something, it shows you a different AVI for each link.

It works locally, but not on the web. Sometimes! I can get one or two of them to show, but not all.
I'm guessing it's got something to do with having to load the 5 AVI/SWF's, and maybe the actionscript hasn't had enough time to do so.

Flash Player Only Works Locally
Im using this tutorial to create a flash player that works for Flash Player 6 & 7.

http://www.communitymx.com/content/article.cfm?cid=12EBE

It works great when I test it locally but not after its been uploaded. I've tried local and absolute url's, again both work only locally. Funny thing is I had bought a third party component for this and it did the same thing. I thought there was something wrong with the component.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Testing Flash: Works Locally, Fails On The Web
My current project is displaying some very odd behavior I have never come across before. I am up against the wall with a deadline and no troubleshooting has lead to a solution yet. I am desperate for help.

I have a very simple SWF, plays some basic animation, and calls in external MP3 voiceover. Nothing complex. When the animation is complete, it lands on a static frame with 3 buttons. The buttons are actually instances of the same MC with a nested btn in, the text on the btn passed by a variable. Mouse over the btn and the MC plays a little animation. Click on the btn and a MovieClipLoader class calls in a SWF, which itself calls in another SWF of just formatted text.

For some reason this all tests well on my computer, and (very strangely) on our dev server for staging. When the files get deployed to to live site the animation plays through to the static frame with the btns, but when clicked the btns do not work. The external SWF does not load.

Now we've tested and tried every scenario checking the correct paths to the SWFs and everything is where it should be. I'm staring at the code waiting for something to jump out at me but it is very basic, and nothing looks astray.

We had a similar issue last night when the animation would not even play. It turned out the SWF was getting hung up on a frame that had an animated mask on it. I broke the mask into a shape and the SWF played properly after that. It took us 2 hours to figure that out. I was infuriated. Why would something so basic cause a movie to fail? Has anyone ever experienced this before? Is it a known bug? Could this be related to the issue of the btns now not working? I am at a loss where to try next, especially when something as random and obscure as a mask caused an earlier failure.

If you have any advice, please I would deeply appreciate it.

Code:
// this is the frame action on the final static frame of the presentation
stop();
voCar04.start(0, 0);
voCar04.setVolume(200);
voCar04.onSoundComplete = function(){
music.volumeTo(50, 2, "linear"); // using mc_tween imported class
}
// set text labels of the 3 buttons
headset_mc.label_mc.label_txt.text = "HEADSET";
cellPhone_mc.label_mc.label_txt.text = "MOBILE PHONE";
visorKit_mc.label_mc.label_txt.text = "CAR KIT";

var prodLoader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();

// sets the btn interactivity, plays a little animation when rolled over
headset_mc.hotSpot_btn.onRollOver = function(){
headset_mc.gotoAndPlay(2);
}
headset_mc.hotSpot_btn.onRollOut = function(){
headset_mc.gotoAndPlay(12);
}
cellPhone_mc.hotSpot_btn.onRollOver = function(){
cellPhone_mc.gotoAndPlay(2);
}
cellPhone_mc.hotSpot_btn.onRollOut = function(){
cellPhone_mc.gotoAndPlay(12);
}
visorKit_mc.hotSpot_btn.onRollOver = function(){
visorKit_mc.gotoAndPlay(2);
}
visorKit_mc.hotSpot_btn.onRollOut = function(){
visorKit_mc.gotoAndPlay(12);
}

// sets the call to the external SWFs, tried 2 methods of doing this, neither worked
headset_mc.hotSpot_btn.onRelease = function(){
_root.products_mc.loadMovie("product2.swf", 1);
//_root.prodLoader.loadClip("product2.swf", _root.products_mc);
}
cellPhone_mc.hotSpot_btn.onRelease = function(){
_root.prodLoader.loadClip("product3.swf", _root.products_mc);
}
visorKit_mc.hotSpot_btn.onRelease = function(){
_root.prodLoader.loadClip("product1.swf", _root.products_mc);
}

Flash Site Works Locally ,but Not On Remote Server?
What wrong?

can any body give me a clue why can't i view my site when i uploaded it on my server? when i try to view it locally it works fine.

my home page is named, index.htm and on it is an embedded swf movie which calls two .swf files(menu and buttons) that completes the interface(i used loadmovie AS for this).all the required files(swf, txt,jpg..etc) resides on the same folder as the homepage. The menus, once selected will load the corresponding page/s which are swf movies. i made it this way and not put it all in one swf movie coz im afraid the file size would get really heavy coz i need to put pictures on each page. I have known of some sites that uses the same method so i knew this suppose to work, which it does locally.

i uploaded it on my server to checkout how wil it load, and to my suprise nothing came out on my browser! (but the status barof the browser seems loading huh?) then i tried uploading it on geocities.com just to se, if its the files that has the problem or the server. the home page did load together with the two swfs files (the button & menu), but they are not working.i can figure out what's wrong?
could some body help me on this please? did i overlooked something? are swf files are allowed on all kinds of server?

AS2 Flash Movie Call To JavaScript Function Works In Firefox, Doesn't Work In IE6, IE7
I have a Flash 8 (actionscript 2.0) movie advertisement that exists inside a floating html div controlled by javascript. When you click an html link in the div ('X', top left corner), a javascript function called 'disappear()' is triggered, which makes the advertisement div and the flash movie inside it disappear, as the function name suggests. My goal is to call the same disappear() function from inside the flash movie instead. I've created the code; the actionscript exists on the button itself.

I've tested the disappear function in the link for IE6, IE7, and Firefox. It works in all three. I believe it works in Safari as well.

When I test the function called from inside the Flash movie, it works in Firefox. The problem is that IE6 is blocking the javascript call; my cursor responds as if the close_btn (close button) is a link, but nothing happens.

Please help me figure out a way to get around IE6 blocking the js call from Flash and ensure that the call works in all browsers, same as it does in the regular html link calling the same function. I'd prefer the solution come from actionscript, but if it must come on the javascript side, I'll take what I can get. To debug, all you need is a 500 x 300 flash movie with a close button and the following code:

---------------------FLASH BUTTON (closeHTML_btn; instance of close_btn)---------------------

on(press){
getURL("javascript:disappear();"); //
}

---------------------HTML/JAVASCRIPT PAGE---------------------

<html>
<head>

<script>
var timeout;
function appear(){
var the_style = getStyle("floatingflash");
if (the_style) {
var current_top = parseInt(the_style.top);
var new_top = current_top + 5;
if (document.layers) {
the_style.top = new_top;
} else {
the_style.top = new_top + "px";
}
if (new_top < 150) {
the_timeout = setTimeout('appear();',10);
}
}
} // appear
function disappear() {
var the_style = getStyle("floatingflash");
the_style.display = 'none';
} // disappear
function getStyle(ref) {
if(document.getElementById && document.getElementById(ref)) {
return document.getElementById(ref).style;
} else if (document.all && document.all(ref)) {
return document.all(ref).style;
} else if (document.layers && document.layers[ref]) {
return document.layers[ref];
} else {
return false;
}
} // getStyle
</script>
<style>
#floatingflash {
position:absolute;
border:1px solid red;
background:white;
}
</style>
</head>
<body onload="appear();">
<div id="floatingflash" style="top:-400px;left:-150px;margin-left:50%;">
<a href="javascript:disappear();">X</a>
<p>  </p>
<p>
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="
