Standalone player displays differently than browser

[drewson]

I'm working on a press release movie, and I've coded the page to load headlines from a text file. They are all neatly displayed in separate dynamic text boxes when I view the code in the standalone Flash player, but when I view it in the browser, all except the last one loaded disappears.

My code to load and create the dynamic text boxes is as follows:

stop();
pressrel = new loadvars();

pressrel.onload = function(){
	news = pressrel.newsvar.split("\r\n");
	if (news[news.length - 1] == ""){
		arraymax = news.length - 2;
	}else{
		arraymax = news.length - 1;
	}
	
	for(i = arraymax; i >= 0; i--){
		news[i] = news[i].split(",,")
	}

	//populate first news releases
	releasetext0.releasetitle.text = news[arraymax][2];
	releasetext0.newsfile = news[arraymax][0];

	j = 1;
	for (i = arraymax - 1; i >= 0; i--){
		duplicateMovieClip("releasetext0", "releasetext" + j, j+100);
		_parent.releases["releasetext" + j].releasetitle.text = news[i][2];
		bounds = getBounds("releasetext" + j);
		_parent.releases["releasetext" + j]._y = bounds.yMax;
		_parent.releases["releasetext" + j].newsfile = news[i][0];
		j++;
	}
	_parent._parent.refreshPane();
}

pressrel.load("news/newsindex.txt");

Thanks!

are you using netscape?

if so have you tested the file on other browsers ?

It works neither in Netscape 7 or Internet Explorer 6, both with the latest Flash plugins.

I've found the issue...

The split("\r\n&quot should be split("\n&quot.

Also, I moved the duplication of the movieclips to another frame, and made sure that the text file was completely loaded before populating the new movie clips.

Then it works correctly.
