    IE problem with Flash MX
    « on: 10/23/06, 02:43 »
    Hi everyone.  I'm brand new to flash all together.  I just taught myself how to do it 2 days ago.  I have a website I am trying to complete.  I have the motions and pages set.  Everything works wonderfully on Firefox.  When I go to Internet Explorer however, things don't work so swimmingly.  When I go to the website via IE, it seems like the movie is stuck in a slight loop.  Is there something I can do to fix this?  I have a preloader, but it seems to work fine in firefox.  The preloader doesn't even seem to show up in IE.  please help if you can.  the site is

    I am on Windows XP pro service pack 2 with all security updates and it runs for me fine on IE.  You should check on your security settings.  Are you blocking the content? Have you tried to click on the SWF in the browser window to 'activate' it?

    I am not sure if its your browser because I am running the newest versions of everything also and it seems to be running a loop like you said (making lots of clicking noises). Is your script set up ok? Maybe you have an error in your actionscript or forgot a "stop();" action somewhere. BUT the preloader does show for me and the movie does come up.

    I also noticed you are using a free server hosting. This could be a problem too because of pop ups or ads or strips of code your hosting provider adds to protect themselves or advertise. It looks like they added this code to your html script:

    <!-- BEGIN text generated by server. PLEASE REMOVE -->
    <script language='JavaScript' type='text/javascript' src='http://tag2.brinkster.com/adx.js'></script>
    <script language='JavaScript' type='text/javascript'>
    <!--
       if (!document.phpAds_used) document.phpAds_used = ',';
       phpAds_random = new String (Math.random()); phpAds_random = phpAds_random.substring(2,11);
       
       document.write ("<" + "script language='JavaScript' type='text/javascript' src='");
       document.write ("http://tag2.brinkster.com/adjs.php?n=" + phpAds_random);
       document.write ("&amp;what=zone:1&amp;block=1&amp;blockcampaign=1");
       document.write ("&amp;exclude=" + document.phpAds_used);
       if (document.referrer)
          document.write ("&amp;referer=" + escape(document.referrer));
       document.write ("'><" + "/script>");
    //-->
    </script>
    <noscript><br><br><div id="Brinkster183" style="font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color:#666666; font-size:9px">Web Hosting Provided by <a href="http://www.brinkster.com/rd2.aspx?r=116078046807605638336" style="color:#000000" target="_blank">Brinkster</a>.</div></noscript>
    <!-- END text generated by server. PLEASE REMOVE -->

    This could be affecting your flash too because it seems to be some sort of pop up ad script.

    Yeah I was looking at that earlier.  I'm going to check my coding in MX first, but if not, I might need to change the way the hosting site puts it's ads in.  Thank you for the help Shiloh.  I'm glad someone helped me out.  I really appreciate it.  Other than the loop, how does the site look for a self-taught newb?

    As I stated before...it sounds like a security setting issue and not a browser or server issue.  I CAN view it perfectly fine in IE on a windows box.
    If you still think your server is causing the problem and you would like to rule that out, you could attempt to find a free server that does not interfere with your content (send pop codes) or you can simply set up your own server.  WAMP server is a windows server installation that comes with php5 and mySQL.  It is free and self installing.

    Code: [Select]
    <html>
    <head>
    <title>The Latest Rumor</title>
    </head>
    <body bgcolor="000000">
    <table width="100%" height="100%" align="center">
    <td>
    <tr>
    <object width="100%" height="100%">
    <param name="movie" value="TLR BY.swf">
    <embed src="TLR BY.swf" width="100%" height="100%">
    </embed>
    </object>
    </td>
    </tr>
    </table>
    </body>
    </html>
    It appears you have changed you html and now it is not working for me any longer.  You need to try using the default publish inside of flash.  It is in the file menu.  Your code is no good.
