Flash :: Tell Me If This Website Works

Website Needs Refreshing Before It Works On The Server...
I have just about finished my first scripted website. I uploaded a version of it yesterday to try it out on the server. There is one part that doesn't run unless the browser has been refreshed. When a button is clicked an onEnterFrame is used to resize a box. When I first click the button the box freezes so I assume the onEnterFrame isn't running. If I refresh, everything reloads no problem and the sire works fine. I am assuming that all the script hasn't been exicuted when I click the button. At the moment all my script is on frame 1. Is there something I need to know about onEnterFrame or does anyone have any suggestions. If anyone knew of a thread/tutorial which talks you through an optimum order of script and what order to put functions in that would be really useful - I've yet to find anything which spells it out to me.

Oh i am using mx2004

Flash Website Won't Load For Some But Works For Others...
I've created a flash website that loads perfectly for some, but others report they can only see the start of the flash movie and it just seems to stop/doesn't load (seems to be IE users). Safari, Netscape and Firefox loads it with no problems.

I can view it fine in IE6. I just can't narrow it down to whether the SWF file has been embedded incorrectly, or if it's a caching problem, or a browser problem?

code is:

<object classid="clsid27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=5,0,0,0" width="700" height="570">

Works On Development Computer, Not On Website
Hi,

I'm using LoadVars to retrieve some data from a table using php. When I use the app from within my Flash environment I am able to retrieve the info, but once I post the swf to the website nothing happens. I"m posting to the same remote page. I don't think LoadVars is even firing since the trace in my else clause is not firing. Any ideas? Thanks.

var reserved = new LoadVars();
reserved.load("

Video Works Locally But Not On Website.
I published a Flash CS3 video which worked correctly in the Flash CS3 application. Publish setting requires Flash player version 9.

I uploaded all of the necessary files and when I try the test page, the video doesn't show - just the playback component and the seeker doesn't load the video. The mime-type is set to video/x-flv.flv in Apache and my browser is FF v2.0

Any suggestions?

Flash Movie Works On Computer Not On My Website
i have a flash music player that loads songs i converted from mp3 files to swf movies and allows the user to switch back and forth among songs. It reads the number of songs and the titles from text files. The player works as i want it to on my computer but when i load it onto my website along with the swf music files and the text files it will only play the first song and does not display the song title from the text file. Is there anything special i need to do so that the flash movie will work online.

thanks

Mozilla Works Fine, Explorer Doesnt - For My Website
I just tested my new website in two different browsers.

Mozilla shows it perfectly but iexplorer sort of "doubles" the
website so that you have to click away one "layer" get started.
I guess you just have to see it to understand:
www.johnschuette.de

I am a professional illustrator so i dont think it will look very
good to my clients. Therefor it would be great if you could help.

The swf-file seems to work like it is suposed to when i test it.

I made the site very simple. Its just a swf-file inserted inte a dreamweaver 4
document and then its just uploaded to my domain.

Maybe you could look at the html-code?
I dont know html, it would be cool if you could.

its: www.johnschuette.de

Thanks, hoping you can help me.

Website Works When "Test Movie", But Not When Clicking SWF Or Viewing In HTML
Hello,

I have a strange problem with my website: When I hit Test Movie or Test Project inside Flash 8, the site runs perfectly and loads variables from a php file on a remote website. When I then double click on the SWF on my harddrive, all the dynamic text fields i am loading to show up as "undefined". Same thing happens when I put the site on my website, and view it embedded in HTML.

I have absolute URLs to the php location:

myThing.load("http://my.site.com/get.php?blah=3");

Any ideas why it works perfectly when i test it in flash, yet doesn't work any other way?

Thanks!

Accentuation Works In Action Panel And Doesn't Works In A Class.
Try attached code in Action panel and in a class.
The same code works in Action panel (F9) and doesn't works in a class.
For GOD!!!!
How can it be????
It's seems that someting is missing when a class is instantiated.
I and thousands of developers that writes with special characters won't have solution for this problem?
I mean that thousands of swf 8.0 version won't be migrated to flash9.
Adobe is concerned about that?
Any idea?

Attach Code

//Action panel works fine
import flash.text.*;
var txt:TextField=new TextField();
addChild(txt);
txt.text="Ã¡Ã©ÃÃ³Ãº";

//class doesn't works
package
{
import flash.display.*;
import flash.text.*;

public class TestAccentuation extends MovieClip
{
protected var txt:TextField=new TextField();

public function TestAccentuation ()
{
addChild(txt);
txt.text="Ã¡Ã©ÃÃ³Ãº";
}

Works On Local PC. Semi Works On Server.
Hi all

I have a flash site that works swell when I test it on my mac locally but then when I load it onto the server it doesn't work too well. Sometimes the swfs I load just don't load for some reason.

Here is the AS I use to load the swf. t is a value I pull from a XML file.

image_mcl.loadClip(t.swf, image_mc);

here you can see the site in inaction. Sometimes when you click on globe the swf doesn't load. Sometimes it does. Anyone have any suggestions?

Printing:works..doesn't Work...works..?
I have a Print button with this code:
Code:
on (release) {

Code:
print ("print_movie_x", "bmax");
}
Nice and straight forward...Users drag a number of cards round on the page then type in their name in an input box. Problem: When I click print, not only does all pages print(have 2 frames) but the cards appear as they did when you load the movie..they haven't moved...scary! What am I doing wrong? Any ideas people?Gab

Searchable Website Vs Slick Website...when To Draw The Line
Just curious what everyone thinks here:

So, we all know how search engines have a hard time reading flash sites. Well, I have come to a road block in my designing...I have clients that want their sites in the search engines but also want a certain amount of 'tech' to them! I can design pages with 'some' flash, enough to make it interesting, BUT if they want a 'fully searchable' page, what do we do?
I can type html all day long but it will never compare to the slickness of flash. I just finished my first 'full html' site in over a year(stuck on flash) and I am blown away by the clarity! It makes flash sharpness look dull! (sorry)

**My Question:
If you had a client that wanted a high tech site and also wanted to be 'searchable', what would you do??

***I'd like to hear all opinions, reasons and answers***

Load Swf Into Swf: Works/not Works?
Please help.

Flash MX for Mac.

I 've loaded a .swf into my main .swf as described in a tutorial. all .swf files are saved into the same folder. It is supposed to load when it the user clicks a button that enters a frame with the the action

loadMovie("gather.swf", "gather_mc");

As I test the files in Flash MX (command-return ) the .swf movie loads perfectly, however, as I try the movie out in Safari the movie does not load.

If I link to the .swf directly and not to an html page containing the .swf, the second swf seems to work. However, the movie's preloader does not work correctly. Blow is the code for the imported .swf.

Question is, is the _root of the .swf counting the bytes loaded from the main .swf?

onClipEvent (load) {
totalBytes = _root.getBytesTotal();
}

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
loadedBytes = _root.getBytesLoaded();
percentLoaded = Math.round (loadedBytes/totalBytes*100);

percentLoaded_txt.text = percentLoaded;
if (loadedBytes == totalBytes) {
gotoAndStop("graveyard");
}
}

The Swf Works In One Way And The Ie Works Differently....
well let me explain the situation and get all of your opinion on this matter...

a while back i worked on making where everytime i loaded the swf file it will load a random background. basically 1/3 will randomly load...

the code i used was this one...

var randomBg:int = Math.ceil(Math.random()*3);
switch (randomBg) {
case 1 :
gotoAndStop(1);
trace(1);
break;
case 2 :
gotoAndPlay(2);
trace(2);
break;
case 3 :
gotoAndPlay(3);
trace(3);
break;
default :
gotoAndStop(3);
trace(3);
break;
}

well it will always load 2/3 backgrounds and never the third one when i try running it from the swf..(does this mean i need a preloader or a code issue...)

but if publish it and run it from iexplorer then it works well and displays 3/3 on the backgrounds....

so is my script buggy or its swf fault .....

also i did further study.... right now in this scanrio my as3 code is placed in the first frame so at this point it would only load 2/3 backgrounds running via swf....BUT if i place the as3 in the third frame then it will properly display the random background 3/3.....

so is it the place i put the code or the fact it should work properly if was placed in the first frame...

thank you and any insight be good on this.... an unresolved issue in a long time...

Button Works, Doesnt Work, Works, Doesnt Work With Each Click
I have this code on a button

on (release) {
gotoAndPlay("smokeleft");
}

that obviously takes the viewer to a frame labled "smokeleft". At that frame there is a stop action and a MC with an instance name of "smokeleftmc"

I've followed this procedure with two more buttons and MC's, smoke and smokeright.

If a button is clicked once, it works perfect. However, if the button is clicked a second time, BEFORE one of the other two buttons is clicked, the play head will not trigger the MC again, rather it will move forward one frame (I assume it would move forward more if there wasn't a stop action).

If the button is clicked once, then a second button is clicked, then the first button is clicked a second time, it works exactly as designed. The only time there is a problem is if one button is clicked twice in a row.

How do I solve this? Thanks

It Works It Doesnt Work It Works It Doesnt...why?
I wrote a script
it has some variables
I send them as sendAndLoad (url, vars, post) to an Acces DataBase and I get the result back through an ASPX page.
It works fine....on different plattforms, Win xp Win 2000 Mac OS X. on a local machine as well as on the server. And it works fine for the majority of the users I have interviewed.
But apparently it doesnt work on all users machines, despite they have the correct version of the plugin, ie: flash player 7.
Any idea???

Get URL : How Does It Works?
Hi again!
My problem today is the Get URL thingie in Flash 5. What I know is that you have to right-click, actions>Basic actions>Get URL.

But then, there are 3 blank spaces : URL, Window and variable. What do I write or do if I want a new html window to appear when I click on the specific button? I tried, but instead, the window launched automatically. How come?

Thanks for your help!

NOTHING WORKS
I cannot get the actions of one button to tell target a specific movie AND get rid of the other movie(s) which are open/playing.

In other words...I need to click on a button which loads my movie and when I click on another button it removes/unloads (whatever) the former movie that was playing/open.

I have tried unload movie, remove movie clip and setting the visibility levels...all affect the movie clip permanently not allowing someone to click on the button again.

HELP PLEASE!!!

http://www.flashkit.com/movies/Scrip...5546/index.php

here's the code:

on the first frame, main timeline:
// script by Jae Young, Choi
// on Designers Forum (corea)

yScale = yScale * accel + (target - this._yscale) * convert_y
this._xscale += xScale
this._yscale += yScale
}

on the MC:

WORKS DOWN HERE BUT NOT UP THERE...
WOW SUCH A BIG COMMUNITY AND I DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT IT...Happy to join.
I have recently uploaded my site with fetch.I have an index page where you click enter and which brings you to the site..So far, so good.However, I have several child movies which load fine when I test the movie in Flash MX and in preview browser but NOT once on the internet.I have 3 levels: o>the main site, 1 (a big chunck with pictures) and several level 2 movies that are all action scripted to go back to the main part after playing.And yes ,all are uploaded ,together, and I've even included both HTML and SWF versions for everything although I was told that child movies only need to uploaded in swf format...WHAT COULD BE WRONG?????HELP!

This Works Anyway
// mypath is a dynamic text field in the downloaded movie
//
// this code is in frame 1 of the downloaded movie
// i am just using it for debugging purposes
// you can display the byte totals anyway you want
// i have seen macromedia show an example
// where they apply the quotient of the two values
// as a percentage to the _scale property of a graphic
// rectangle or something so that you get a growing bar
//
// note that frame 2 has a gotoAndPlay(1);

var bytes;
bytes=this.getBytesTotal();
bytes-=this.getBytesLoaded();
this.mypath=bytes+":"+getTimer()+":"+targetPath(th is);
if(bytes<=0){
stop();
// or do something else
}

hows that ?
or do you have to measure getBytesLoaded from outside the downloaded movie?
that's what i want to do anyway
so i should be posting again when i have cracked that
that is, if i can get an answer to my '_global isn't global' thread

Works On One But Not The Other?
hello,

My projected .exe file uses external .jpg to show images. It workes with no problem and the external .jpg shows.... But, there is one computor it doesn´t work on, it´s my Boss´s laptop. The .exe file works but it can´t show the images.

Do anyone have an idea what can be wrong?

The file can´t load in the images either when it is placed in the companys intranet, but on all the other computors, you can just copy it down into your private section, and it will work.

thx / jan

Nothing Ever Works....
why cant my swf files show up on my site? ive tried like 5 different codes and nothing really works... help would be nice...

Only Works Once.
The following is supposed to ask for confirmation before sending data to the back-end script. After the first confirm, the buttons cease to function on any further calls to the function.

book_it = function (typ, res, dat, tim) {
confirm_mc._visible = true;
confirm_mc.confirm_txt.text = "Please confirm you wish to book"+newline;
confirm_mc.confirm_txt.text += typ+newline;
confirm_mc.confirm_txt.text += "with "+res+newline;
confirm_mc.confirm_txt.text += "on "+dat+newline;

It Works For Me - How About You?
We created a flash project at:
http://www.musicaviva.com.au/vivazone/

This is being used extensively but we have had a couple of people complain that some of the sounds don't work. Everything works fine for us and the site owner.

Click on the sun to begin.

One of the sections is called "Musicians and Their Music". Most of the performers in this section have an audio sample. The flash audio player is very simple - it just loads and plays an MP3 file. As flash is doing the playing I wouldn't have thought that this would cause any problems. However one of the customers thinks it might be because their network blocks MP3 files. Doesn't make sense to me. They also can't hear the sounds in "Instrument Pictures and Sounds".

I have asked them to uninstall and reinstall the flash player but they're still not having any luck. Any thoughts?

Works In Ver.5 But Not In MX
I've upgraded to MX (proff) and a site that worked fine in 5 now jams up during preloading when being viewed from the internet. Previewing in Flash Player or HTML while working on the file it works fine... Looking at it on my local machine is fine. But as soon as i upload it and view it in my browser it stops on anything between 80-90% of loaded value.

Anyone seen this before? I've tried saving as an MX Proffesional .fla and exporting it as an swf - and as an MX .fla before exporting. Both have the same effect once it's uploaded.

Any help much appreciated.

Works In FF - Not In IE
Hi there,

this is my first post and to me my problems a real crazy one.

I have a site that is slowly coming together and in the site I have a mainline that calls allsorts of other swf files - things like menus, maps, etc.

As my main browser is firefox I have been using that to test with and everything has been working fine.

I added a new piece today - a menu for one of the sections that was waiting on content and in FF it works fine.

However when I go to IE all of the older stuff works great but this one menu - while it loads; and i can actually click on the buttons is actually invisible. In other words it is there and functioning I just can't see it.

I thought it was a problem with the new swf so I changed the call to call one of the older menus and that menu did the same thing - its there and working but I just can't see it.

Anyone run across this before or have any thoughts on where to turn to next?

Thanks

Works In IE Not Others
Long time since I was here...

Anyway... I've encountered a strange error. I've started to develop a menu for a site. It works perfect in the standalone player and in IE. But in firefox or any othe browser (both PC and Mac tested) it doesn't... Its the same version number of the player...

I know my code isn't the best. But it was a long time since I've used flash...

Here is a temporary link to the menu: http://www.bitbob.biz/judo
There are seven colored squares that are movieclips (m1 - m7). They all have six variables (expand (boolean), collapse (boolean), orig_pos (original _x), pos_off (offset from original _x when expanded), orig_width and width_off...

Here is some of the important code i use (havn't migrated to AS2 yet):

Positions the movieclips...

Code:
_root.positionMenu = function() {
for (i = 1; i <= 7; i++) {
if (_root["m"+i].expand || _root["m"+i].collapse) {
for (j = 1; j < i; j++) {
_root["m"+j]._width = (1/(i-1))*_root["m"+i]._x;
}
for (j = i+1; j <= 7; j++) {
_root["m"+j]._width = (1/(7-i))*(Stage.width-(_root["m"+i]._x+_root["m"+i]._width));
}
}
}
for (i = 1; i <= 7; i++) {
if (!_root["m"+i].expand || !_root["m"+i].collapse) {
_root["m"+i]._x = _root["m"+(i-1)]._x + _root["m"+(i-1)]._width;

}

Sets intervals on mouse interaction (there are seven of these in total m1 to m7):

Code:
_root.m1.onRollOver = function() {
this.expand = true;
if (_root.collapseIID1 != null) { clearInterval(_root.collapseIID1); }
_root.expandIID1 = setInterval(_root,"expandIt",10,1);
}
_root.m1.onRollOut = function() {
this.expand = false;
this.collapse = true;
if (_root.expandIID1 != null) { clearInterval(_root.expandIID1); }
_root.collapseIID1 = setInterval(_root, "collapseIt",10,1);
}
_root.m2.onRollOver = function() {
this.expand = true;
if (_root.collapseIID2 != null) { clearInterval(_root.collapseIID2); }
_root.expandIID2 = setInterval(_root,"expandIt",10,2);
}

the expandeIt and collapseIt functions:

Code:
function expandIt(item):Void {
this.doIt = true;
for (i = 1; i <= 7; i++) {
if (_root["m"+i].collapse) {
this.doIt = false;
break;
}
}
if (doIt) {
with (_root["m"+item]) {
if (step == _root.steps) {
_root["bg"+item]._alpha = 30;
_x = orig_pos + pos_off;
_width = orig_width + width_off;
_root.positionMenu();
clearInterval(_root["expandIID"+item]);
}
else { step++;
_root["bg"+item]._alpha = (step/_root.steps)*30;
_x = orig_pos + (step/_root.steps)*(pos_off);
_width = orig_width + (step/_root.steps)*(width_off);
_root.positionMenu();
}
}
updateAfterEvent();
}
}
function collapseIt(item):Void {
with (_root["m"+item]) {
if (step == 0) {
_root["bg"+item]._alpha = 0;
_x = orig_pos;
_width = orig_width;
_root.positionMenu();
collapse = false;
clearInterval(_root["collapseIID"+item]);
}
else {
step--;
_root["bg"+item]._alpha = (step/_root.steps)*30;
_x = orig_pos + (step/_root.steps)*(pos_off);
_width = orig_width + (step/_root.steps)*(width_off);
_root.positionMenu();
}
}
updateAfterEvent();
}

please, tell me what I'm doing wrong... I've got to get up to speed with Flash again... :/

Works On PC, Not On Web
Can anyone try to figure out why this isn't working on the web when it does locally? Also, it WAS working on the web until it suddenly broke seemingly for no reason.

Here's the link to the one on the web. http://prestowebdesigns.com/barron/Mp3Player2.html . The zip is attached.

Thanks in advance,

Works One Way And Not The Other?
so this works for me

PHP Code:

import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.Regular;

setProperty(tree1, _xscale, 300);
setProperty(tree1, _yscale, 300);
setProperty(tree1, _alpha, 0);
    var sizeX:Tween = new Tween(tree1, "_xscale", Regular.easeOut, tree1._xscale, 100, 1, true);
    var sizeY:Tween = new Tween(tree1, "_yscale", Regular.easeOut, tree1._yscale, 100, 1, true);
    var fadeIn:Tween = new Tween(tree1, "_alpha", Regular.easeOut, tree1._alpha, 100, 2, true);
    var rotationIn:Tween = new Tween(tree1, "_rotation", Regular.easeOut, 0, 360, 1, true);
    sizeX.onMotionFinished =  function(){
        this.yoyo();
    }
sizeY.onMotionFinished = function (){
     this.yoyo();
}

but this doesn't work

PHP Code:

import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.Regular;

setProperty(tree1, _xscale, 300);
setProperty(tree1, _yscale, 300);
setProperty(tree1, _alpha, 0);
function movingTree (){
var mc = this
    var sizeX:Tween = new Tween(mc, "_xscale", Regular.easeOut, mc._xscale, 100, 1, true);
    var sizeY:Tween = new Tween(mc, "_yscale", Regular.easeOut, mc._yscale, 100, 1, true);
    var fadeIn:Tween = new Tween(mc, "_alpha", Regular.easeOut, mc._alpha, 100, 2, true);
    var rotationIn:Tween = new Tween(mc, "_rotation", Regular.easeOut, 0, 360, 1, true);
    sizeX.onMotionFinished =  function(){
        this.yoyo();
    }
sizeY.onMotionFinished = function (){
     this.yoyo();
}
}

tree1.onEnterFrame = movingTree;

isn't it the same code just the second one has it in a function?

Works In FP 6 Not 7 Or 8
I am trying to revive a piece of code from a few years ago, however it doesn't play nice in Flash Player 7 or 8, but works as it should in Flash Player 6. It's a little script to change the size of a movieclip with some "wobble".

Thanks for any help or pointers in the correct way.
Ivan

Code:
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
excel = 5;
buff = 1.25;
wSpeed = (this._width-w)/excel+(wSpeed/buff);
hSpeed = (this._height-h)/excel+(hSpeed/buff);
//trace(wSpeed);
_width -= wSpeed;
_height -= hSpeed;
}

Works On Pc But Not MC
Hi
Yesturday I was checking my site on somebody's MAC and it didn't showd up completly but it works great on PC

my site is loading dynamic images with MovieClipLoader
here is the script

ActionScript Code:
Stage.align = "TL";
Stage.scaleMode = "noScale";

this.createEmptyMovieClip("imgLoad", 150);

function setPos(){
ball._x = (Stage.width) / 2
butholder._x = (Stage.width-butholder._width) / 2
imgLoad.blackBG._x = (Stage.width-imgLoad.blackBG._width) / 2
centreLight._x = (Stage.width-centreLight._width) / 2
}
setPos();
Stage.addListener (this);
function onResize (){
setPos();}
var mclListener:Object = new Object ();
mclListener.onLoadInit = function (target_mc:MovieClip){
setPos();

};

var image_mcl:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader ();
image_mcl.addListener (mclListener);
image_mcl.loadClip ("imgLoader.swf", imgLoad);
Site comes up but imgLoader.swf doesn't load.
I don't have mac

Works On Mac, But Not PC
I have a custom built video player that works fine on a Mac, but when a client tried to view on a PC, she got the player controls and audio, but no video. Yikes! Could this be her version of FlashPlayer? Or something up with the FLV? Any ideas?

Here's the link to the clip:

It Works, But Only Once
Hey all

I have a bit of code that executes when a MC in the _parent MC is rolled over. like so:

Code:
_parent.borderOut.onRollOver=function(){
glass._visible=false;
}
_parent.borderArea.onRollOver=function(){
glass._visible=true;
}
so what happens is I have many swf's all loaded by the same movie. The problem is that this code will only work with the first .swf. if I then goto frame two(where another bunch of .swf's are loaded) then the code no longer works. In fact is doesn't seem to execute at all. I can't say for sure because I don't know how to get a trace statement to work from a child .swf

Any clues?

Works On PC, Not On Mac
Hello, I spend lot of time troubleshouting an animation that was working on PC but not on Macs. I want to share my experience and hope it can helps some of you.

ActionScript Code:
package {
import flash.display.*;

public class TestMac extends MovieClip
{
public var myMc:MovieClip;
public var myVarNotSet:Number;

public function TestMac():void
{
myMc=new MovieClip();

// this line makes it bug on mac only
myMc.x=myVarNotSet;

myMc.graphics.beginFill(0xE00F00,0);
myMc.graphics.drawRect(100, 100,50,50);
myMc.graphics.endFill();

addChild(myMc);
}

}
}

this will display a square on PC and nothing on Mac. I don't know which behavior is the right one, but it would be nice that Adobe makes it behave the same on mac and PC.

Anybody Know Why My Swf Works On A PC But Not A Mac?
We have already ruled out the embed code being the problem, and I have verified that if I access the swf directly it doesn't work on any mac browser, but does on all windows based browsers.

The application in question makes extensive use of XML files, and it also uses Actionscript 3.0's libraries to do asynchronous data calls. I am 95% certain that it has something to do with the xml document work. We can http-watch it, and verify that it downloads all the xml files and recieves them. It however doesn't render any of the content that it should render in response to that xml on a Mac.

If anyone has information that could help me out with this problem, I would be very grateful.

thanks

Danny

It Works ... Not
I finally managed to load images into text-files, and have them load dynamic into flash. The problem was Flash MX - and me not using FLASH MX 2004 and Actionscript 2. This now works great!

It works when i view the .swf or .html file on my computer, but when i upload the .swf, .html and other files to my server - it doesn't show the images which is placed within the text-files...
Why? Any ideas?!

Folderview:

SWF/HTML -- CONTENT ---
- TEXT
- IMAGES

Text-files is loading like this (and works):
CONTENT/TEXT/Text.txt

Text-files load images like this:
<img src='CONTENT/IMAGES/Picture1.jpg

I guess the foler where the .swf-file is placed, functions as root?!
