Allo,

I have a flash movie on a page as the navigation. It works perfectly on my development site, but on the live site, the movie wont play automatically. I have to right click on the movie and press 'Play' to get it to run.

I tested on another PC and got the problem. Whats left me a bit clueless is that the same .swf file is referenced on every page of the site, but it runs without prompting on the home page only. The home page is in the same folder as all the other pages.

Thanks...
 
got a link so we can see?

I would say watch for hidden stops, and maybe even try using a simple gotoandplay function...it might stop on one machine and go on the other, but if you have that function there, it should start on all of 'em...

Or maybe it's a compatability issue?...dunno...things can get freaky like that.
 
Thanks for the replies.

I'm not allowed to give out the link yet virt2001, sorry.

I'll try out your suggestions WhiteTiger, Thanks.
 
Just a thought!

In the HTML Publish Settings, is the Playback -- Pause At Start box checked?

;-)
