Hi,
I'm working on quite a complex app in flash which requires the concurrent loading of multiple (up to 30 or 40) movie clips at the same time. I've come across an interesting problem with Internet Explorer. When the flash movie is served from a web server (in this case IIS) to Internet Explorer, a number of movie clips simply do not load on the screen. However, if you then refresh the page once or twice, all the clips miraculously load.
This *does not happen in Mozilla*; it works perfectly, first time, off the same server. It also does not happen when I drag the flash movie on to the internet explorer browser from my hard drive, only when it is served from a web server!
This has led me to wonder if it is a problem with the amount of connections to the net internet explorer/flash can have open at any one time, and that maybe flash is timing out some of the movie clips. This would make sense as it would explain why it does work when loading from hard drive and why it works after several refreshes (as the browser would have cached several of the files, requiring less connections to the internet).
With that in mind, I have researched upping the number of connectione IE can make to the internet, and found an MS knowledge base article detailing how to up the number of possible connections by editing the registry. However, even having upped it to 20 and having restarted my computer, it appears to make no difference whatsoever!
I am now at a loss and am appealling to anyone on this forum who may have an idea for help.
Regards,
Ben
