loadMovie works locally, not remotely

[solomatrix]

I have a 'main.swf' that has an empty movieclip 'loader' with an instance name 'loader'. I have 'main.swf' importing 'title.swf' into 'loader' with the code:

code:

---

loader.loadMovie("title.swf");

---

on the root of frame 1 of 'main.swf'.

When I test 'main.swf' locally it works perfectly. I uploaded 'main.swf' and 'title.swf' to a server (same folder) and ran 'main.swf' but now it doesn't work.

If anyone knows what's going on, or anything I could try to fix it, I would be very appreciative.

you need the full path to your swf, i.e.

code:

---

loader.loadMovie("http://www.yoursite.com/flash/title.swf");

---

not necessarily.

i know its not strictly needed but it seems to be the solution to these kind of loading problems more often than not.

Fully qualifying was a good tip, but unfortunately didn't work. I'd post the link but you wouldn't have enough rights to see anything.

You'd think this sort of thing would have come up before...

Ok... I was trying everything I could think of to simplify and isolate the problem and I got it to work. I make all my code with SciTE and use #include's to load the as files. When I copied all the code back into Flash it worked, but when it's imported it doesn't.

I'm gunna mess with it some more because I would much rather have 1 as file than pasting this code into my other 25 swf's.

Thanks gee and g.
