2. Re: movieClipLoader issues on certain servers
Greg Dove Jan 16, 2008 5:27 AM (in response to kamckng)Post a link to the server where things are not working correctly and I'll check if there are any crossdomain issues.
one quick question - on the site where its not working do you have www.mysite.com and mysite.com both working for the same site? (where your domain name is substituted for mysite.com) -

5. Re: movieClipLoader issues on certain servers
Greg Dove Jan 16, 2008 6:25 AM (in response to kamckng)Oh I just tested the image loading.
after uploading the file (e.g. dove01.jpg)
You swf is asking for the image url like this:
/games/play/WFBQ/Hand%20Slap%20Showdown/images/custom/dove01.jpg
it seems that the server for that site redirects the requests that flash makes for all the face images (including the uploaded ones) to:
Location: http://stickymatters.dreamhosters.com/calendar/WFBQ
this may mean the server is set up to redirect all invalid urls to that page... in which case you just need to correct the paths for the image locations on that server... or its something you need to check with them about. -
6. Re: movieClipLoader issues on certain servers
kamckng Jan 16, 2008 6:27 AM (in response to kamckng)ok actually i think that is the problem because i tried to enter the url directly to the swf and yes it redirected me there also. but why would flash tell me it's loading with no errors? is that a flash error? i dont know a lot about url's and redirection and all that stuff -
7. Re: movieClipLoader issues on certain servers
Greg Dove Jan 16, 2008 6:37 AM (in response to kamckng)I think the redirection is happening because that server is set up to do that for any invalid url requests. If you get the right load paths you should be OK.
Flash doesn't really care what it loads until the point where it tries to interpret it and then it typically fails silently when in the browser. At least that's what appears to be the case to me. I know for example this has been used for some 'tricks'. For example using LoadVars to try to load jpg images... they don't load, but it puts them in the browser's cache if the local cache is switched on which means they'll load quicker on request later when flash needs them. -
8. Re: movieClipLoader issues on certain servers
kamckng Jan 16, 2008 6:39 AM (in response to kamckng)OK thanks a lot, I'll talk to the server guy and see if he can help out with that.
MUCH appreciated, it's much more helpful to have something to look for rather than knowing nothing at all about the problem!

9. Re: movieClipLoader issues on certain servers
kamckng Jan 16, 2008 6:42 AM (in response to kamckng)Is there a way when using relative paths to find out exactly what path flash is looking for? or is it a security issue that it wont allow that to be shown? -
