    when uploaded, movie parts don't work...im baffled

    NO idea why it works when tested on own machine but doesn't work when uploaded. Files are all in same dir and names are correct and everything. Plays just fine BEFORE I upload to any webhost.

    on main flash file i have a compass with needle that points to menu items as they are hovered over. Now, when I test it in Flash MX it is perfect, same thing when I run file on computer.

    mainmovie, frame 1
    loadMovieNum("header.swf", 1);
    loadMovieNum("home.swf", 2);
    loadMovieNum("homepics.swf", 3);

    mainmovie, menu link1
    on (rollOver) {
    _root.mainmenu.panel_cp.gotoAndStop(2);
    _level3.homeinfo.gotoAndStop(2);
    }
    on (rollOut) {
    _root.mainmenu.panel_cp.gotoAndStop(1);
    _level3.homeinfo.gotoAndStop(1);
    }
    on (release) {
    _root.mainmenu.panel_cp.gotoAndPlay(7);
    _level1.header.gotoAndPlay(2);
    loadMovieNum("profilecontent.swf", 3);
    loadMovieNum("profpics.swf", 4);
    gotoAndPlay(2);
    }

    header.swf's 'home' link
    on (release) {
    _level0.mainmenu.sidemc.cplinks.gotoAndPlay(15);
    _level0.mainmenu.panel_cp.gotoAndPlay(21);
    loadMovieNum("home.swf", 3);
    loadMovieNum("homepics.swf", 4);
    gotoAndPlay(16);
    }

    finally, here's links to .fla files and also a zip of swf's so you can see how it works when ran from your own machine. This baffles me.

    Hummmmmmm! Don't know! A lot of possible reasons...

    What about text on this, once you select one item, and the items that dissapear when you hit home...

    Thanks for showing me that link, fixed it for me
    alrighty, what I did was in the preloader, instead of loading the sbc.swf when load was complete, i did a getURL instead to go to new .html file and now it works. Dunno why that fixed it, lol.

    now it's working and is on real host at:
    http://southlandbuildingcompany.com

    Seems to work pretty well so far. Now I'm gonna learn more of actionscripting so instead of the frame-by-frame animation, have the needle follow the mouse in the link area and then whip to south once it's not hovering. Pretty fun stuff

    Also, speedwise, would it be better to load the text from 1 .txt file using variables and dynamic box instead of separate movie files?
