loader never completes PHP page call? (only a problem on server - works fine locally)
(I've boiled my problem down to a simple example):
with AS3, I try to load a PHP file which is stored on my server (code below).
This PHP file only does one thing: echo a string.
When I compile my flash file: the loader finishes, and I see the echoed string.
But, when I copy this exact flash file to my server: the loader never seems to finish. I never see the echoed string.
(+ I'm appending strings to a dynamic textBox on the stage. Sort of like tracing every step of my progress. No further strings appear after I load, so I assume this where it is dying.)
MY GUESS: this must be some sort of permissions problem. Like maybe the server won't let some (flash) files call other (php) files? (permissions are rw-rw---- ... but temporarily changing to rwxrwxrwx didn't seem to help). Snarky tech friends assure me the problem must be in my code.
(I'm definitely out of my depth).
help?
