I've been working on a new website lately and I've got a little problem.
On my main page, I use a scrolling window where I load other movies containing (Artworks, Movies,...).

I want to open popup windows when people click on thumbnails so I put a simple javascript function to do it.

The problem is that if I test it on my computer where the thumbnails are linked to html and images on my server, It works just fine.
If I only load the artwork movie(swf) containing the thumbnails in IE, it works fine as well.

Now if I try to do it from the main page which contains the artwork movie(swf)... it doesn't work anymore :sad: ... not that I get a bad link whatsoever but nothing happens at all!

Does anyone have a idea where It might come from?

Thanks in advance.

The ripper.

PS: Sorry for my bad english.

It sounds like path issue.

Things you can try: use relative link to your external movies/images, use absolute link to your external movies/images.

Also, download this app called Charles. It will allow you to see what flash is actually trying to load. It really is the best app I've seen in a long time. You can download it from:

www.xk72.com/charles/ (http://www.xk72.com/charles/)

good luck

if i understand you correctly, this might help.

do you have files within folders and your main [index] file outside of those? because unlike html, flash references everything from that main page.

say for example, you have your index.html and a folder [called pics] with a picture_page.html file in it. and in that folder, pic01.jpg.

in html, the picture_page.html file would reference the jpeg as : pic01.jpg

but in flash, the picture_page.html file would reference the jpeg as : pics/pic01.jpg [even though they are in the same folder]. its because your are calling that image from the index.html level.

i hope this makes sense and is what your looking for. this may not be your problem, but it was an issue i came up against.

Thanks Kole!

I found another way to fix it... I seemed like the problem is coming from my domain cause if I try to load the original page from the server... It works fine... go figure :rolleyes:
