john/matt,

you may or may not have been following the thread on the moock flash 4/3/2

detection movie system...i too encountered this "only works when cached"

problem. the fix for me (that was tested quite heavily and seems to work now)

was to add a preloader to ensure the whole detection movie is present before

the get urls are attempted. 


once that was fixed, another problem i encountered was that on slow

connections, the first get url (flash 4) would get called but then be

over-ridden by the next get urls (3, 2) being executed before the flash 4

page ever loaded. the fix for that was a version specific stop command after

each get url.


you may simply want to use what appears to be the final, perfectly working

movie posted at:

http://www.moock.org/webdesign/flash/detection/flash4noscript/index.html


there are instructions on how to build it and also sample download files.

since i added the final stop fix, i have not had a single error report

(approx. 3 days, several hundred tests...).


cheers,

colin
