Verizon and GoDaddy Servers Won't Play Flash?

**smcneilly** · 10-29-2008, 11:54 PM

I would greatly appreciate anyone's help. I have an HTML file that launches a .SWF file. These two files work on many servers (we've tested it), but they won't work on Verizon's webhosting or Godaddy's webhosting.

My HTML code is:

<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<title></title>
</head>
<body bgcolor="#666666" TOPMARGIN=0 LEFTMARGIN=0 RIGHTMARGIN=0 MARGINWIDTH=0 MARGINHEIGHT=0>
<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0" width="100%" height="100%" id="test" align="middle">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
<param name="movie" value="mm.swf?webPlayback=1" /><param name="quality" value="high" /><param name="bgcolor" value="#555555" /><embed src="mm.swf?webPlayback=1" quality="high" bgcolor="#ffffff" width="100%" height="100%" name="test" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" />
</object>
</body>
</html>
</body>
</html>

Verizon and Godaddy were of no help. Can anyone indicate why this simple HTML file won't launch the mm.swf file that is specified? Again, this works on all servers we've tried, except for Verizon's and Godaddy's. Thank you.

I can't speak for verizon but I have used flash on GoDaddy servers hundreds of times with no issues. I can't imagine it being a server issue.

Can you link us to that server so we can have a look?

Hi Steve,
Thanks for replying. The web address of the Verizon-hosted site is:
http://mysite.verizon.net/vzerqq11/sellfolio.html

The identical HTML file and Flash project are on this Unix server, where it does work:
http://sellfoliotest.viewwork.com/test/sellfolio.html

I don't want to ask for access to the server but I would like to see the file structure on your ftp or file manager, are you able to take a screen shot of it and black out anything sensitive (for the Verizon server)?

Also, do you have the godaddy site up?

Verizon gave 404 and second link worked for me.

Thanks, Steve and Kortex, for looking at it. Here are images from FileZilla, showing the contents of the test folder, and the images subfolder:

That is the working site correct? I wanted to see the verizon ftp shot if we could.

Hi Steve,
The FTP shots are from the viewwork.com domain, which is working correctly. I'll have to contact my client to view the Verizon server, so that I can take screen shots. But, with his Verizon hosting, I did perform a remote connection to his system, and I was able to verify that all of the files are in the correct place.
