I tried the search function but couldn't find the same problem as mine (I think).
I have made a site in Flash. Sections are loaded into the main movie (loadMovie).
Now comes the weird part, everything works great in IE but in Firefox it seems that the external swf's aren't loaded into the main movie. I have never seen this happening.
Does anyone have any clue (really anything) how this is possible? I am kinda desperate!
What actions do you use? Where is the container clip in relationship to the loading button? Where is the external file located in relation to the swf and html?
But you see just a small line outside the square box.
Is that line coming from the external swf? Please be as informative as possÃ*ble when asking and also be shure to tell , if earlier suggestions did not work.
This is becoming more weird by the minute. When I open FF and go to the page it is fine, click the button movie shows up. Click a second time button, movie is gone, not loading.

p.s. I updated Firefox before to last version of the flash player at macromedia.
did you ever come up with a solution for this problem? if so, please let me know, thx
cus it sounds like i've got the same troubles, i'm gonna describe 'em once again...
i'm loading jpeg's into my SWF using the loadMovie() command with a relative URL. basically everything seemed working well, but in Mozilla/Firefox it happens, that the jpegs don't show up... the strange thing is that sometimes they DO appear and after a couple reloads (within flash or browser reload) they DON'T, there's no rule, it looks like it happens by coincidence...
how the hell is that possible, it's driving me nuts
Damn this is one half year ago, I can't remember if I fixed it or did begin from scratch again. But I will take a look to your fla if you want me to. Make a test fla file with the according pictures (test pictures) and attach it as a zip here with a reply.
Uhm as I am typing this, stuff comes back to me. Uhm, if I am correct I fixed the problem by putting the jpg's into a straigthforward simple swf. Kinda a lot of work if you have many pictures but it seems when doing a loadmovie call it goes better if you actually call a swf instead of a jpg.
Maybe this is not the appropriate solution but at least it worked for me. Lemme know if I can help.
wrapping those jpegs with SWF's isn't an option to me in this case... i'm gonna try a workaround with "isloaded" next, in case it works i'll post it here...
I am led to believe the problem is in dynamically resizing the loaded swf or jpg after calling loadMovie. I (and another person I saw in a different forum) were setting the loaded images' width and height using onEnterFrame of a different clip - that was apparently whacking it all out on Firefox - it was the resizing that was killing it. I didn't know that was the issue at the time, so I just ended up pulling the images into a borderless TextArea via an html image tag - that workaround really did the trick. You can enable html for the TextArea, and then just throw the swf or jpg in there dynamically with any height and width you like. It actually was easier in the end to do it that way than bothering with loading and unloading the clips, and now it works perfectly on IE, Firefox, Safari...
that's it man... thanks a lot for ur help
The error never occured anymore. To be sure i will have to do some more testing though since the error occurs occasionally So please take this solution as *testing*...
It seems to be a timing issue --> here is my code to dodge it using the MovieClipLoader(); - Class:
//add a "onLoadInit"-listener to your object that launches the "resizing" in order to //make sure the image is properly loaded and initiated before resizing it...
