Re: FLASH: HELP ME PLEASE

[Gregg Caines]

Well there are generally only two possibilities, browser

problems or server problems.


It sounds like you're using netscape, so reinstall the

plug-in and give it another shot.  Take a look at for notes

on installing/uninstalling the plug-in.

If that doesn't work, you can try reinstalling the browser

AND the plug-in, or maybe try Opera.  It works a lot like

Netscape, and if it has a broken plug-in icon (after

you've installed the plug-in for Opera), then I would

suggest the problem is on the server side.  It might also

be useful to try the page on different machines, and in IE.

If it consistently works in IE and not Netscape or Opera,

I'd suggest that the problem is on the server side again.


A server side problem could be the result of faulty

object/imbed tags (use the publish command from Flash

to get the correct tags, and don't tinker with them) in your

HTML.  Maybe there is a problem with the SWF (re-

upload it, and make sure you are uploading in binary

mode).  The MIME settings on the server may also be

messed up.  Check out:

If you can post a link here, someone might have another

suggestion.


Good luck ;)
