FLASH: "Load Variable" Poblem

[Tobie Kerridge]

Hi,


This cost me lots of time so I thought I'ld send it in...


I had a problem in IE 4.5 mac with "load Variables". The action script was

in the first cell of the movie and it was stalling the playback within the

browser. I realised when I put the files on my web server that the problem

had disappeared. Then, when I dragged the file from the web server to a

browser window via my desktop, the problem came back.


So, over http the "load variables" works fine. Called locally from a swf, or

html page with the swf embeded, its is  parsed using "file://" and the

playback will break. I didn't have time to check, but this is probably true

of "load Movie" as well.


The irony that it was my development environment which kicked up this

particular problem, the client expreience is fine. If you do develop on a

lan/local machine my advice is to test the thing early for IE 4.5 using

http, then just have faith that it will work when live.


cheers
