FLASH: Plug in error with Printing SDK Part III

[Mike Weiland]

  I still haven't been able to resolve this problem with Netscape. I have

found some interesting info regarding my printing problem in Netscape. I was

able to get a small stub movie to print (at least bring up the print dialog

box and not crash, I don't have a printer connected at the moment) opening

the file from my hard drive, not http. Once I upload my file to my server I

get the plug-in error. So I then went back to the ad_banner.html example and

it played it localy and it worked. I then uploaded the document to my server

and recieved the error! I tried it on another one of my servers and the same

results! Is there something on the server end that needs to be done? I can

get the sample to work at Macromedia, I take that back I can print the ad

banner at Macromedia, but the HP example gave me the same error!


I have the ad_banner sample on my site at

http://www.certificatecreator.com/certificates/templates/forms/ad_banner.htm

l


My own movie can be found at http://www.certificatecreator.com/main.asp


Again, I can reproduce this on Netscape 4.04 & Netscape 4.7 on 2 different

PCs, haven't heard from my Mac beta testers. The Flash plug in is version

4,0,25,0. IE 4.5 & 5 print my files just fine, its just Netscape that throws

up the alert when playing from a Web server (using file:// my files work

fine):


a Plugin Window

An error occured during this operation.


Sometimes Netscape will crash completely after this error, other times it

stays up. If it crashes I either get it in NPSWF32.DLL or KERNEL32.DLL.


Thanks for any help,



Mike Weiland

The only thing I don't get is the fact that
