Issues with the SWF output.

Oct 24, 2010 4:20 AM

Hi,

 

Tried creating my first rome swf content by choosing the "flower shop" template, modified the text content presented in that. After saving the same in my drive, I tried publishing it as "SWF" by choosing "Flash" through "Output -> Flash (.swf)", but while testing that in my google chrome, It was just showing me the loader animation and I couldn't able to get the content after that.

Here is my environment,

 

Microsoft Windows Vista Professional.

Flash Player 10.1

 

Thanks.

    At last, managed to get it working!.

     

    Had to uncheck the "Write Loader file" check box. However the issue still exists if I turn on the check box.

     

    Any ideas?

    I was glad to find your post as I am having the same problem. At least now I know I can get it to work by not allowing the loader file.

    Can this be classified as a bug?..

     

    Adobe / Moderators can you please help us on this?.

    Hello,

     

    I've spoken with our development team, and they said the loader file is meant for upload onto a server.

     

    Thanks,

    Sarah

    I attempted uploading the SWF file with the preloader option to my web host and I still have the same issue.  The loader circle shows, but the content never loads.

    Thanks badsect0r!

     

    The same happens to me as well. (Even after uploading my SWF to my server).

    I wonder if its specific to ROME - because I assume that ROME service will also be hosting - so maybe the preloader is specific to their server.

    Thanks Daverms for pointing out the Write Loader File SWF output option problem! Definately needs to be addressed.

    Just a few more details on the preloader. Can confirm it works fine when uploaded to a webserver attached to a bigger .swf, but just not when run locally.

    Yeah, but it took an incredibly long time to load for so little output. It took over a minute.

     

    I think the pre-loader still needs some tweaking before I would use it.

    True, but for this test link I used a very big embedded image (800+kb) in the SWF file to show that the loader file was indeed working. It was meant to take a long time
