RE: FLASH: flash load movie issues!!!!

[Scott Jeppesen]

I'm actually working on a site that uses loadMovie all over the place. The

whole site is running off of loadMovies actually. This has proven to be

somewhat of a nightmare(as you'll soon find out) in that different browsers

handle it very differently. There are issues with MIME types(which there are

notes on MM site about this although I can't find it now) as well as well as

issues like:

1) Make sure all file names and variable values passed do not contain

spaces. Netscape will freak out and it won't work.

2) If your loading a movie that has code in it make sure that the code

doesn't run or that you don't use that clip until it is fully loaded. This

make take several checking loops if the code in the clip is also pulling in

external variables or clips(as mine is) or if your accessing a database(like

mine is).

Anyways, feel free to email me off list for more specific help. I can give

you a peek at the site I'm working on too. I can't post it on the list(it's

kind of a high profile client).
