Hi all,

I have a website hosted on GoDaddy, been using it for a while to show off pics and whatnot and just created a little Flash anim that slideshows a couple of images that when click lead off to other sites. Tested this locally and it runs fine, but uploaded onto the GoDaddy site and the flash anim does not display. In fact there does not even show a placeholder for the anim.

My browser does allow Flash anims, tested by visiting other sites that display Flash anims. We also tested this on the Missus' laptop and again it does not show. Both the .fla and .swf are uploaded to the site and the code points to the correct directory as they are both on the root directory so..........

Starting to think that there is something on GoDaddy that needs to be changed but cannot for the life of me see what or where.

Has anyone else come across this problem before, can anyone offer any advice?

Cheers in advance,

Mitch...

did you upload the .swf file?

did you have the embedded flash code in the html file itself?

if you think its godaddy, why not call them?

GoDaddy support is not very helpfull.

Anyway, I have uploaded both the .SWF and .fla file to the site, however since my initial post i've been testing more things.

Running the .swf works perfectly. Each image opens a web browser to the specific page.
Running the htm file where the .swf file is embedded from a folder on my PC prompts me to unblock the blocked content. I have played around with Security settings but to no avail.
Running the htm file from the inetpub folder is a step backwards. The 'allow blocked content' prompt appears but unblocking it does not reveal the swf anim.
I'm wondering if there are some settings in Flash as I create the file I need to change. I did see the global settings and adjusted them but not sure if it has taken hold.

I'm really confused at this point so any assistance is welcome.

Thanks,
Mitch...

Unlikely to be a problem with godaddy, you got a link? just write it in the form "www url com" if you don't have a have link permissions yet.

Have you tried running the .swf from the site, as in not from the html page, but just the file?

[VegaLA]

Thanks guys.

Well, I can rule GoDaddy out I think. I typed the URL/frontanim01.swf and the Flash animation appeared and all the links from each image opened the correct page so yes, it works, however, its not working from the htm file.
I did use DW CS3 to embedd the SWF file so I wonder if that is the cause ?

Below is a snippet of the code.....

<td colspan="3" align="left" valign="top"><script type="text/javascript">
AC_FL_RunContent( 'codebase',URL,'width','900','height','300','title ','header','src','FrontAnim01','quality','high','p luginspage',adobe url,'movie','FrontAnim01' ); //end AC code
</script><noscript><object classid="clsid27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="Downloadurl.cab#version=9,0,28,0" width="900" height="300" title="header">
<param name="movie" value="FrontAnim01.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<embed src="FrontAnim01.swf" quality="high" pluginspage="Adobe URLVersion=ShockwaveFlash" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="900" height="300"></embed>
</object></noscript></td>

Make sure you have uploaded the AC_FL_RunContent.js file.

[VegaLA]

Thanks Liam
I had not uploaded that file, just the .swf and .fla files but I did check to see if there were any other files on my machine I created the anim on just to be sure and do not recall see a AC_FL_RunContent.js file but i'll search for it tonight once I get home.

Thanks for your input.

[VegaLA]

Ack, thanks for the reply Liam but no, that file does not exist on my PC (I was hoping DW generated it) so no joy there.
I did find the file AC_RunActiveContent.js in the scripts folder which contains the function AC_FL_RunContent. I uploaded the file to the root folder and a new folder named Scripts but alas still no joy.
The code is as follows:

<script src="Scripts/AC_RunActiveContent.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
</head>

Any ideas, looking at the code above ?

Thanks in advance,
Mitch....

Cheers though.
