Flash :: Swf Won't Load In Explorer

Ie Explorer Will Not Load Thumbnails Correctly
sorry to bother you all with this, yet again, but nobody seems to have an answer...In mozilla, the thumbnails on my site work fine. But in IE , they do not scale. Any thoughts on why that is? The photos load from an XML file. each "gallery" is it's own swf, on _level1....the loader for main images is working fine in all browsers. Any help to resolve this annoying piece would be great.

Scene Won't Load In Internet Explorer, Only In The .swf
Hey everyone:

I'm in a bit of a bind here. My site performs drastically different when it is run in Test Movie (.swf) and when it is run through Internet Explorer.

It has 3 scenes in the following order and no externally loaded .swfs:

Scene 2 (Preloader)
Scene 3 (Intro)
Scene 1 (Content - I originally began with this one but later added the Preloader & Intro)

When I test the movie from Flash CS3 or run the exported .swf, it runs through with no problems. However, as soon as I export it and run it in Internet explorer through .html file, it will only load the preloader, which then transitions to the intro, and then I get a white screen for Scene 3. I cannot get the main content scene to play at all.

It seems the problem starts with the code to embed the .swf into the .html page. If I run the .swf through internet explorer, it is fine, but then it expands to fill the whole page. I think it wouldn't be wise to run just the .swf online.

I would greatly appreciate any help in this manner!

Thank you,
Adam

Monitoring Load Movie In Internet Explorer ...
Hi,
Does anyone know if you can monitor .swf's that are loaded into a .swf in internet explorer?
E.g. you can see the status bar loading the main flash interface, but if another .swf is loaded into the interface using load movie, can you monitor its download progress in IE?
Any ideas would be great
Thanks

[F8] Odd Flash Load Behavior In Internet Explorer
Have any of you seen this behavior? In firefox it works fine but in Internet explorer the flash images does not load until you move the mouse over the flash. I tested it with and without the javascript wrapped around. It is most likely related to my actionscript.

Load Movie Based On Explorer Address?
Hi!

I've got a question for all of you FLASH-masters out there.

I'm currently working on a website, based on ASP and a database. It loads the content on the page from a database.

Now to the problem. I've got a flash menu/image viewer at the top of the page. ( ex. When I klick on "About" the menu/movie clip shows an "About" image). The problem is that the website is based on only ONE page (default.asp) So, whenever I klick on a link, let's say "About" the page reloads and the About page is shown, BUT! the flash menu/movie is reloaded and moves back to the start of the timeline ( In this case the "welcome" image).

My question is: Is there a way to tell what part of the movie clip to be shown based on the explorer address, or is there another way around this problem?

I don't want to use frames on my website because then the scroller is "miss placed".

I hope I have explaind my problem fairly well, so you all can understan what the h*ll I'm talking about.

Thank you!

Jpegs Wont Load With Internet Explorer
Hi, I am currently programing my portfolio site and I have tried a couple different ways of loading Jpegs from an images folder into an empty movie clip. Both worked sucessfully everywhere but PCs, which I hear are kind of important. First I tried the basic LoadMovie ("jpegmane.jpg", movieclip_mc) and that was unsuccessful. Next I tried the following code:

ink_mc.cacheAsBitmap = true;
mask_mc.cacheAsBitmap = true;
ink_mc.setMask("mask_mc");

var loader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
var listener:Object = new Object();

listener.onLoadComplete = function(target:MovieClip) {
trace("LOAD COMPLETE");
target._parent.load_text._alpha = 0;
//target._parent.play();
}

listener.onLoadProgress = function(target:MovieClip, bL:Number, bT:Number) {
trace("PROGRESS: " + (bL / bT) * 100);
}

loader.addListener(listener);

print_btns.print1.onRelease = function() {
loader.loadClip("images/print_philroy.jpg", content_mc);
_root.ink_mc._alpha = 0;
_root.gotoAndStop("print");
}

I haven't had any problems like this before with PCs. Any suggestions out there?

THanks in advance.

Dynamic Flash Images Don't Load In Intenet Explorer Until Mouse Over
Has anyone ever seen this behavior before where dynamic flash Images don't load in Internet Explorer until you place the mouse over the flash object? It works fine in Firefox. I am thinking it must be the way I wrote the actionscript. I tested it with and without the javascript wrapper to prevent users from needing to click on the object to activate it.

Here's the page to show you an example...

Internet Explorer And Flash - Freakin Explorer Bar
Okay, I'm pretty new at with Flash, and the whole actionscript/xml/xhtml stuff. When I upload my .swf to the web, I always get that explorer bar dropping bombs everytime I open the page. And I get it on just about every computer. Is there a special embed tag or some trick I'm missing to make that thing go away. Also, why do some sites automatically focus and others not. How do I do that?

I'm having problems with my website <a ref="http://www.jeremyforsn.com">jeremyforson.com</a>, I have pop-ups for my gallery that don't work in explorer. I'm lost on it. Please help. Also if you hit another thumbnail w/o closing the previous window it loads into the same one.

Movie Explorer
Hey, guys! This is a very general but annoying question. In Flash 5 when I have the Movie Explorer palet open and I want to filter all the info down to just the actions within frames, mcs, buttons, etc., I get a list that does not seem to be in any particular order. I would like it to be in the order of occurence on the timeline so that I can follow the logical structure of the ActionScript within the movie. Has anyone encountered this problem and does anyone know of a way to organize the info within the movie explorer in a customized way - say, in the order of occurence on the timeline as I need it?
As always, your help is greatly appreciated.

Movie Explorer Has Bug?
When I go to the Movie Explorer, I don't see all the symbols I have defined in the library.

For example, I can see three movie symbols in the library, but in the Movie Explorer it only shows two.I have closed and opened the app to make sure it's not a refresh problem but still got the same thing.

Is this a bug or what?

Sluggish In Explorer
What's up!

So I am getting very frustrated at the moment. I am trying to create some smooth animations. After raising the fps to 30 and doing some tweens it looks very smooth...in flash.

As soon as I export it and view the html file it looks like **** through a straw. The animation is very sluggish, totally not what I created in Flash.

So I used one the computers on campus. Their craptastic Tangents do display a smooth animation, but then why does my P4 2.5 GHz 1024 mb not?

Do I perhaps have a faulty plugin installed?

Someone please help me before I switch back to pure html/php...

Internet Explorer 6.01
Hi,

I have experienced a strange thing lately. My website worked well with Internet explorer 5.5 and still works well with Internet explorer 6.01. However, since I made a windows update on my pc I get scroll bars at the bottom and on the right hand-side of the content window. The website has been built in php and redirect several pages to flash MX. It is working well from there. But as soon as I am using the link from flash that tells me to come back to the content window in php, I get the scroll bars on the content window when it never used to be the case with my other version of Internet Explorer. Maybe I need to add some lines in my source in flash to make it work.

Thank you,

Seb

LoadMovie In Explorer 6?
I've created our company website in Flash MX, and saved down to Flash 5 to allow for more compatibility. Everything works fine on my mac, and it worked on the PCs we tested it on. I have a main movie, with an empty movie clip that other smaller movies load into using the loadMovie action.

The problem is that 2 people who have Explorer 6, on PC, are now not able to view the loadMovie movie clips. Can anyone tell me why and how to fix this problem?

The url is www.blackcatcommunications.ca - go to Portfolio (on the left), click on Print, Campaign, Brand, etc (on the left), then click on one of the sub-submenus that appear in the top left. This *should* load the appropriate portfolio section swf into the white space, but doesn't seem to in IE6.

Thank you for *any* help!

Safari But Not Explorer?
Greetings,

I have a quick question. I added the following script to my index.swf (all on one line):

on (release) {
getURL ("javascript:NewWindow=window.open('http://www.dorishenson.com/navigation.html','LOOBA LOOBA','width=800,height=600,left=50,top=50,toolba r=No,location=No,scrollbars=No,status=No,resizable =No,fullscreen=No'); NewWindow.focus(); screen_height = window.screen.availHeight; screen_width = window.screen.availWidth; left_point = parseInt(screen_width/2)-(800/2); top_point = parseInt(screen_height/2)-(600/2); setTimeout('NewWindow.moveTo(left_point,top_point) ',100); void(0);");
}

The script seems to work fine when I use Safari, but Explorer keeps telling me I have some kind of "type mismatch" script error. I have enclosed the source code that the error brought up. But if you want to take a look for yourself, the URL is
www.DorisHenson.com

btw- I am using MX 2004 Pro on a Mac.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
