Load jpg works on mac, not windows

[brentW505]

I'm loading a background image that stretches the screen. On mac it loads fine, but on windows for some reason, it doesn't even load, and there's not even an error.

One of the images loaded is here:
http://maybach.websitewelcome.com/~c...os/photo_6.jpg

This is the site: http://maybach.websitewelcome.com/~cgw/newsite/



Anyone have any idea?

Anyone have any idea? This is frustrating, it doesn't make any sense.

thats strange, post the script?

[brentW505]

Here's the main snippets of the code without posting 5 pages..

//to load I use this:
	loader = new Loader();
	loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeListener);
	loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, progressListener);
	trace("loading...photos/"+incURL);
	loader.load(new URLRequest("photos/"+incURL));


// on complete I do this:
	if (container.numChildren){
		container.removeChildAt(0);
	}
	var image:Bitmap = Bitmap(e.target.loader.content);
	image.smoothing = true;
	container.addChild(loader);

It shouldn't be this, because I use the same code on this site: http://davidandbrent.com

would it have anything to do with the browser or javascript?

jesus, i clicked on david and brent and thought it was a marriage site about david marrying brent....

[maxxpower]

seems to be working now?

[brentW505]

this one works on windows?: http://maybach.websitewelcome.com/~cgw/newsite/

I still can't get it to work..

[brentW505]

Does anyone know? On windows it only works on firefox, not internet explorer..

[maxxpower]

very strange, this makes no sense since I though the browser loaded the same player regardless of what browser.

[brentW505]

Doesn't look like the swf is even loading on my pc in IE.

http://maybach.websitewelcome.com/~c...site/index.swf

gave me an error message

How did you find that error in the browser?

[brentW505]

I accidentally moved the directory it was trying to load.. that error shouldn't come up anymore...

This doesn't make any sense why it doesn't load the background photos on a pc

at http://maybach.websitewelcome.com/~cgw/newsite/ There should be background photos loading on each page..

[maxxpower]

Im not sure what is up.
I tried 3 different pc's and all three react differently.
But, if you install flash player10 it runs in windows IE, at least from my tests.

I think you need to change this line:
if (container.numChildren){
You are treating this like Boolean. You need to add a number:
if (container.numChildren>0){

[brentW505]

Changed it.. but didn't do anything. >.<

Changed it, but it didn't do anything >.<

If I run it with a clean cache in IE it hangs when the site preloader is done, then if I refresh everything works fine. Possibly an event not firing in your preloader?

I'm not sure how your animating your preloader but, if your using a tween object or something local to the function to animate that bar, the function could be deleting your tween object before the complete event get's a chance to fire.

[brentW505]

I found where the errors occurring, but it doesn't make any sense!

This is the function it's coming from:

			public function loadImage(url:String){
			trace('load:'+url);
				changeStatus(url, 2);
				var _loader:Loader = new Loader();
				_loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, imgLoaded);
				_loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, onIO);
					var req:URLRequest =  new URLRequest(url);
					_loader.load(req);
					_loading = true;
					
				_loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, ioErrorHandler);
				function ioErrorHandler(event:IOErrorEvent):void {
					  trace("De Error-ioErrorHandler: " + event);
				}
				
			}

Notice the trace("load...") before anything happens. In the output, the first thing that shows up is:
De Error-ioErrorHandler: [IOErrorEvent type="ioError" bubbles=false cancelable=false eventPhase=2 text="Error #2036: Load Never Completed. URL: file:///xxxx/photos/bg-44.jpg"]

It's giving an error before that function's even called... how can that be?? That makes no sense.

Ok, I had this problem before, too if that is the case what StunnedGrowth observed and if it only happens with IE. IE has problems with cache, and this happens when images are loaded in a row using a for loop for example. If one reloads the movie it will be ok. To overcome this loading has to be done slowly using a Timer for example.
