I had a flash movie embedded in an asp page and I am trying to make it work with the new logic but it just sits there and does no load.

I think it may be perhpas because I had to use a base tag? There is one main movie that loads several others and none of them are in the same folder as the asp pagn.

Old and new source attached. If anybody sees anything goofy, I would appreciate some info.

Thanks
Mathias

Is the value of the base attribute pointing to the same directory as it is on your local machine? Regardless, what is the value of the base parameter? Are you sure that the SWF is uploaded? Sorry if the last question is obvious.

I spend at least four hours a day trying to beat this issue, you would think that taking my avi movie and putting it through the flash encoder of cs3 and then running it through cs3 flash would just work like the older versions of flash, place the swf and flv on the server and then publish the html in flash and place that on the server and wollah you got a movie playing in flash 9

I have ran it though dreamweaver even sending the ftp through the dreamweaver program to no sucess, again when I create and view it locally on the browser it works just fine, send it to the net and it sucks

I have also converted the code in dreamweaver and it still does not work

I put the code in the old way using the base <param> and embed attribute. Then I open up the file and dreamweaver tells me that it may not work, would i like to convert. Click yes and somehow the base attribute gets added in and it works. I was not able to get it to work manually though.

I too am having a problem with my movies playing, on my local computer my movie plays just find, but when I send it across I get this AC_FL_RunContent alert and no movie, the old flash was really easy to do, make the movie, publish the html, send the fla, the swf and the html across and wollah it would work, I try the same stuff, even try rerouting some of the code and it does not work on the internet, but on the local computer it works fine, someone like a adobe flash tech should step in and explain here

I don't know how AC_FL_RunContent works, but are you sure it doesn't need the ".swf" ending for the movie and/or src parameters?

I've tried all the differnt combinations there and nothing seems to work. Thanks for the suggestion.
