macromedia flash sitedesign:
I've created a flash website and have tried to load movies into the swf site to
reduce file size as recommended. It all works great on my harddrive, however,
when I went to upload the site, it did not appear inside of the original movie.
Any suggestions as to what I've done wrong?

very little we can do without seeing the code you used - copy/paste here
- sounds like a path issue or you didnt upload all the swfs.

There's a book called "Wack to the side of the Head". Thanks for the Wack! I
figured out the problem - you were right, check your paths! I wasn't using the
appropriate path to load the movie. In regards to G.G.'s question, sorry, I
can't help you there!
:D

Boy, I am in the very same boat, and when I found this question, I was hoping
that you would have the answer. I hope this is not rude, but I am going to post
my code here as well in hopes you can help.

Do you have to have more than just the average hosting service if you are
trying to load .flv files? It works great on my test site which comes with
Charter Communications (and lets face it, they do video as they are a digital
cable service) but when I put it on a regular host service, the .flvs won't
load.

Anyway, code:
On timeline for buttons is:
push_btn.onRelease = function() {

gotoAndStop("push");

}
stapler_btn.onRelease = function() {

gotoAndStop("stapler");

}
etc. where "push", "stapler", etc. refer to labeled keyframes.

Once there, the code on the timeline reads:
myVideo_nc = new NetConnection();
myVideo_nc.connect(null);
newStream_ns = new NetStream(myVideo_nc);
videoHolder.attachVideo(newStream_ns);
newStream_ns.play("pushbutton256.flv");
stop();

Thank you in advance!

Man, I'm a 40 plusser in years aged guy who read that book back in 1990, and
ya'll are talking about it here & now. Awesome.

Thats the only book on my web library shelf here by my desk, that isn't a web
design specific book. (just used for whacks)

I had to comment.

Cheers.........

Well, I have the answer to why my movies would not play when I put them up on
the server, and I thought I would write this to the forum, as it took some
digging to find out the problem! Nothing wrong with my code! They did not have
the MIME turned on to play the.flv files, so they just would not play. Once I
sent them some forum links to instruct them about this, they turned it on and
all my .flv files that would not play and I was tearing my hair out over, now
played! Easy fix, time-consuming to figure out. Hope this saves someone some
time.
