Inside the flash file “swfLoader.swf” which was my container, I had the line

_root.loadMovie(path);

and in my .php document I had

which is exactly as it should be. But for some reason this wasn’t working. I tested to see if the code was right within the container, and the error

Error opening URL "file:///path/to/your/file/undefined"
code>
came up, which means it was working. I thought to myself "Generally, loadMovie's target is within double inverted commas", so I tried it:

_root.loadMovie(path);

and it worked. Not sure if anyone else is having this problem, but I posted this just in case it’s a coincidence and I’m to be proven wrong, or if I’ve shed some light :).

Thanks.

Cheers.

This is driving me mad. I have double checked that my c.swf file is ok, in fact, when I navigate to the c.swf file using this URL: http://www.chrisholbrook.com/portfolio/files/c.swf?path=river_web.swf it works. However, when I try to put it into one of my pages like this:

it doesn’t. Any ideas what I’m doing wrong?

the page I’m trying to fix is here: http://www.chrisholbrook.com/flash

I’m currently trying to find a solution to that issue and I’ll post any findings that I have. Hopefully we can find a fix.

For information about the script in question.

Anyone have any thoughts on the issue?

Stage.scaleMode = “noScale”;

At the starting of the clip and then setting it back to:

Stage.scaleMode = “Scale”;

at the end so the original movie would look as it should. This problem if fixed but now I seem to have a new one.

The container movie has a white background many of the movies it loads have different color backgrounds, but unfortunately, the container move for some reason sets the background color to be white no matter what I have tried, so the movie that it loads does not show the background color as intended.

Is this a universal problem or just one I am having, if not, any help out there? Thanks in advance.

Thanks again for the clarification anyways!

I am having one problem though. I made my container .swf into a short intro clip showing my logo. Unfortunately, all of the games on my site are different widths and heights, so when it shows the logo, the logo clip always appears scrunched. Is there a way to keep the aspect ratio of the container clip when its resized, something like centered vs. streched in which I could make it centered?

Thank you very much, I hope I was clear enough.

These .fla files will not open with previous versions.

The files accompanying it are specific to version 8. If you have problems still, feel free to contact me.

In case any one wants to know…

Bye

data=”s/c.swf?path=s/main.swf” — should be within the object tag
value=”s/c.swf?path=s/main.swf” — should be within the param tag

Everything should look like this:
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
data="s/c.swf?path=s/main.swf" width="400" height="300">
<param name="movie" value="s/c.swf?path=s/main.swf" />
</object>

Did you see I added files for download above? Download the zip and check the source of my html with yours. Let me know if that works for you.

Upon reading my comments, I realized how confused I was. I did indeed forget the height/width tags, but my paths never work, even relative.
s/c.swf?path=s/main.swf for example, does not work for me, and adding base param “/”. Nothing. It may be my server… I don’t know how.
