flash (macromedia): I had this prob as well, make sure that you have the latest version of
the flash player plug in installed on your browser

Hi,

MY flash movie wont work when movie is embedded in webpage, yet if I open the swf itself it works fine?

Does anybody know why this happens?

i had a similar problem before and it was just a case of my webpage not
pointing in the correct place for my swf file....

try opening up a published html of the page in dreamweaver and making sure
that its pointing to just the index.swf file and that its not pointing to the
file within a folder (ie c:/my docs/index.swf)

hope that makes sense and/or helps

:)

Thanks for your reply, the path is correct in my webpage and it works ok, the
problem is my movie uses the loadvars object to send variables to a server side
script. The problem is I cannot seem to connect to the coldfusion page when the
movie is in a webpage.

Yet if I open it directly it works fine?!?!??

The function I have on a button sends the variables to a coldfusion page

on (release) {
var sender:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
var responder:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
responder.onLoad = function(success){
if (success) {
_global.serverTime = this.timeDate;
_root.gotoAndStop("success");
} else {
_root.gotoAndStop("error");
}
};

sender.body = welcomename + " scored " + score_txt.text;
sender.fromName = welcomename;
sender.sendAndLoad("http://www.halesowen.ac.uk/sendmail.cfm", responder,
"POST");
_root.gotoAndStop("wait");
;
this._lockroot = true;
}
