RE: FLASH: Still stumped:(

[robert.clay]

not sure how the php loads variables but I remember one time when I was

loading text into flash that localy I had a ./text.txt and when I uploaded

it I had to take the ./ out or it would not work.  Maybe it is something

like that.  If not sorry to bother you.

Hi everyone,


Sorry to interrupt your day, and yes I did post this yesterday, but I have

tested further and can explain the problem better now.


Anyone have any idea what is going wrong?...would it be a server problem?

although tried Unix and nt server...is it a browser problem?


I have created a movie which loads data from a remote PHP file via a frame

based load variable command.


All works as it should when tested locally, but when it's uploaded to the

server the PHP data fails to show. I have tried having a blank frame at the

beginning etc. but to no avail.


I am sure that there was a recent thread which gave a solution to this

problem but I can't seem to find it.....any ideas?


Just when it was going so well.:(


The file acts as it should when tested locally either as projector or in a

HTM page, when tested from the server

www.crescent-graphics.co.uk/castdotcom/pages/testmap.htm the PHP string

fails to appear (should be to the right of the rollover buttons), most

confusing.


The URL I am using returns the correct string if entered directly into the

browser http://212.69.197.118/generator/mapdata.php3?city=Kansas+City which

I know works if entered in a browser as the correct data string is returned.


I have also tried calling a text file for the data string which works fine

http://www.crescent-graphics.co.uk/castdotcom/pages/memphis_vars.txt


The testmap.htm file has both of these methods in place, Kansas uses the PHP

path and memphis uses the text file path.


This problem only occurs when the files are uploaded to the server, although

apparently Mac IE has the problem locally also.


I am totally stumped, tried every which way to overcome the problem, any

suggestions?


I am sure that it is something very silly.


I will gladly send the fla etc if it would help.


TIA
