Dynamic Images load on mac not on pc 1

[TigerGirl7]

Hi,

I've created a flash movie that loads content dynamically using loadvars. (Actually I set up the flash file and my partner wrote the php). The fla file consists of 5 movieclips. Inside each movieclip is a picHolder movieclip and a dynamic text box. It works fantastic for me on the mac in safari and ie-even mozilla but on the pc we are only seeing one of the dynamic images. We've tested this on multiple machines and still only one of the images will appear, however, the text appears just fine. It's such a wacky thing. Why would it be functioning properly on the mac but not the pc?

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

A wild guess here! Any of those pictures progressive .jpgs?
Although if they can't be loaded in Flash (PC) why would they load on Mac?

Thanks for your reply oldnewbie.

Yeah that was my first guess too- but none of them are progressive jpgs. It's so bizarre- on some machines you can see the black picHolder movie clip but no image. Have you ever heard of such a thing? Is it possible that there is an error in my actionscript that the mac browsers can figure out but the pc browsers can't?

Do you have a link to this thing?

So I should see 4 other pictures that the "rock", which is the only one I do see, right?
Those pictures all included in the .fla?
Is this a scrollpane component or a custom scroller?

I gather this is in a seperate loaded external movie... Possible to post a link to this .fla, zipped up and in MX only format?

hi oldnewbie-would it be ok if I emailed you the file?

 

[oldnewbie]

Yes. Use either addresses under my handle...
Make sure it's zipped up (under 1MB) and in MX only format not MX2004.

Let me know if you've received my email!

 

[oldnewbie]

Got the mail! Will look into it later tonight! Or maybe later...

 

[TigerGirl7]

Great thanks!

 

[TigerGirl7]

oldnewbie- any luck?

 

[oldnewbie]

Sorry... Have been buried up to my neck in work...
Will try to check it tonight!

Ummmmmh! Never worked with server side scripting, for one thing, so I don't really understand what's happening with that bit... All I can say, is that if I take out (in BOLD) all the for loops in your showContent functions (repeated 4 times by the way, in symbols 70, 71, 72, 73...), and hard code the "i" var's value with 0,1,2,and 3, it seems to work fine, when tested locally through IE.

function showContent() {
	var i = 0;// var i = 1; (for 71)... Etc...
	content.htmlText = "";
	[b]//for (i=0; i<this.n; i++) {[/b]
		showjpg(this["logo"+i]+"#");
		content.htmlText += this["name"+i]+"<br><br>"+this["description"+i];
	[b]//}[/b]
};

Thank you oldnewbie! You're the best!

 

[oldnewbie]

OK!

Anyway you can provide me with your navigation's .fla, I'd like to see how your dropdown menu is coded?

 

[TigerGirl7]
