Netscape Navigator

[karidee]

Does anyone know what might cause a Flash movie to not appear in Netscape Navigator when it does in Internet Explorer?

Check your embedding code, make sure there are no spaces

Example:

your big.swf

Should be your_big.swf or yourbig.swf

There are no spaces in the name of the .swf file, could it be that a capital letter in the name could cause this?

Here is the url of the movie that I'm trying to figure out:
http://www.designetc.com/golfland

The page that comes up first checks to see if you have the Flash MX player, if you do it forwards you to the movie that I'm having trouble with. Like I said above, it works fine with Internet Explorer, but not with Netscape if you want to check it out for yourself.

2 things I see that might be the problem:

param name=Src" value="main.swf"

then you have


EMBED src="index.swf"


Also try an absolute link:

http://www.yoursite.com/index.swf

a couple of things to try and troubleshoot:

1.check the mime-type and ensure that it is set to accept flash...

Launch your page with the Flash:
In netscape go to : View:PageInfo:
Second line at the bottom should list the MIME type..
it should say something along the lines of shockwave/flash

2. Ensure that your swf is located where the SRC tag dictates - sometimes an extra \" is all it takes - IE is a lot nicer stuff like that ..netscape is not. Because IE uses a different tag than Netscape - it is possible to have different sources specified

3. If possible - keep your swf file at the same level as the html page that is housing it...

FYI - Specifying an absolute link just worked for me. Thanks for the post, estudioworks!
