I would appreciate any comments anyone would have on the problem below:


I have content loading into a dynamic text box from external text files. Depending which button you press a different text file is loaded....etc. All pretty straight foward.

All if this works fine in the test movie environment but not in a browser either locally or once uploaded.

Thanks,

Seems to me like a possible wrong path in the call to your different files.
Are all the files in the same folder?
And do you use the full path (including http://...) on all your references to them?

;-)
 
oldnewbie you have hit the nail on the head. Further testing suggests that the path for the text files needs to be relative to the html page the contains the flash and not relative to the .swf files. I haven't quite uploaded everything yet but thumbs are being held that this is the answer.

cheers,
