Re: Go to and Play Problems

[John Croteau]

Hi all,

  I would agree with Christian that the MIME is not set. When you get

the puzzle piece or missing icon when the location of the .swf file is

correct, we can only be 99% sure that the MIME is not set correctly. If

you add type="application/x-shockwave-flash" to the <EMBED some people

may be able to see Flash and it should make it so that we can be 100%

sure it is just a MIME setting at the server causing the problem. Adding

type should be a temporary solution/test only.


If you know your server does not have MIME set correctly please let us

know, it is very, very, very annoying to have a browser crash and

killing links and Email replies in progress.


We now see (in IE Win95/NT which doesn't rely on the server for MIME)

the use of center offsetting for stepping boxes.


To your original problem, we can't tell much about what is happening to

buttons from the .swf even sometimes if we have the .fla file.


The best way to troubleshoot goto and looping problems is to add a layer

at the top (as a test layer) and place the frame number in text

corresponding to each pertinent frame, so you can see what is happening

when it plays back. If things happen too quickly reduce the frame rate

of the exported .swf   In multi-level situations use a Test Movie on a

high level and use Tell Targets.
