For me, 95% of the time when something works in test movie or locally and

doesn't work remotely, it's because I'm not giving it time to load before I

asked it to do something (play or whatever). In particular load movie into

target, tell target play in the same actionscript for small movies works

beautifully locally, but breaks on the web because it takes longer for the

movie to load through the modem than I allow (least that's what I did wrong

:)


Other than that, can you give more specifics regarding how you've got it set

up?
