attachMovie not working the on web?

[objuan]

I've been battling this project, and finally got it all wrapped up and working, and was feeling pretty proud of myself, and then I went and posted the exact same .swf on the web and it doesn't work anymore.

waaaa?

Specifically, there are a bunch of icons which are placed into the FloorMC which then attachMovie a copy of themselves into a LegendMC and UtilityRefMC, but they dont seem to be attaching anything when I run it through a browser.

You can see the only partially working version here:
http://www.moceandesigns.com/PPPrototype/
- note if you click one of the Floor buttons the Legend comes up empty

(I'd love to attach the swf and fla to this message, so you could take a look at those, but apparently that would be crazy.)


Any suggestions? Do I have to do something to make sure the MCs in the library get attached?



I thought perhaps it had to do with me using _root, but I went through and changed them all out to _globals and _parents and it still no likey. Furthermore the Comment Box in the bottom left gets triggered by _root commands form all sorts of different levels, and it seems to work fine, both on the web and off.

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Immediately upon posting this message to the forum, the link page I posted seems to be working now? (I swear the Legend was coming up empty minutes ago?)

Regardless, the end goal is for our clients to view these via a secure webserver at LightServe.com, and The Legends arent working there.

I'd still love to hear thought and experience with this sort of thing

So get this - if you go to http://www.moceandesigns.com/PPPrototype/

the Legend comes up empty.

if you refresh the page in your browser, the Legend comes up full.

WHY ON EARTH SHOULD THAT BE?

Is there a preloader?

No official preloader in the sense that there is a progress bar, but the way it works when I run the .swf off my machine is it steps through each of the Floors, so all the icons on each Floor can put themselves in the UtilRefMC. Then it goes to the 1st page.

http://www.moceandesigns.com/PPProto...totype_v10.rar

has the .swf and .fla.

Hi, check the first sticky of this Forum.

In any case, looks like you NEED a MAIN preloader.
