I will pay you to help me embed this Flash file

4 replies
I'm losing my marbles over this.

This is the direct link to the Flash file: http://losangelesrhinoplasty.org/tel...menumx2004.swf

And here is where it is embedded: Telephone Systems | Axion Communications

See anything there? Neither do I.

I cannot figure this out. I have another Flash file on the site, and if I swap out the file names and locations, it embeds just fine.

      The flash movie is embedded correctly, if you right-click on the place where it should be, you can see the flash player info (that is a good sign).

      You have a problem with the path to your images.xml that is loaded by the flash movie. Due to the Flash security reasons (that's a long story), it is looking up the paths from the WEBPAGE'S folder and not from the folder where your Flash movie resides.

      In your case the webpage's root folder is losangelesrhinoplasty.org (root) and the flash movie is in losangelesrhinoplasty.org/telcarousel

      Long story short, just do the following:

      1. Move images.xml to the root directory ( losangelesrhinoplasty.org )
      2. Change the image file names in images.xml to "telcarousel/images/nec.jpg" (again, Flash will starting from the root folder, so you need to specify the full path to your images)
      3. Don't use "http://..." in your image names as this could throw a Flash sandbox security error depending on the user's flash player settings. To be on the safe side, just use relative paths
      4. Seems like the height of your flash embed object is a bit too low. You might want to increase it
      5. get rid of the "flashvars" parameter within your embed tag - first, it has invalid value and second, looks like the path to the xml is hardcoded in the Flash movie anyways

      Or just move the contents of your telcarousel folder one level up (the swf, images.xml and the images folder) - maybe that is even easier

      Hope that helps

        Son of a bitch. Even after I tried linking to the full address. Unbelievable.

        OK, I said I would pay you. Cash or trade?
