Flash website loading problem

jellyhead80 · 15 June 2010 at 11:55AM

problem: I've uploaded my html and swf files to 50webs but when I view my website, https://www.emma-oconnor.co.uk - only half my flash book loads.

When I preview it through flash or dreamweaver in html it works fine. Do I need to upload something else to 50webs? It feels like there is something not connected to tell it to load the rest of the book.

I'm completely new to flash and website building and a bit out of my depth, so any help would be greatly appreciated. I need the website to load as part of my degree coursework, please help.

Thanks in advance.

When you say only half the book loads, what exactly do you mean?

When I view the book, the last page with anything on it is the one that says 'take me with you' and has the start of a photo on it. Are you saying that there is further content past that page?

This is the source code from your page as it appears to me:

<html xmlns="[URL]http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml[/URL]" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />

I'm no expert in Flash, but it appears that there may be some issue with the page calling the content from the server, hence the 'loading message' repeating line. Perhaps there is a cap on the amount of data 50webs allows to be presented per page?

Thanks for the reply, yeah you're right, I check the source code but there seems to be a 'loading page' line for every page in the book, so i thought that was correct, no?

There is meant to be content on every page until the end, but I cant figure out if the problem is with the objects I've uploaded to 50webs or if its just because I'm forgetting to do something daft, or if I need to put some more coding in or whatever.

The book is a template from flash and a complete file with all the content in, I published it as a hmtl that came with a swf and uploaded both of these to 50webs, the size of the file is less than 1mb and 50webs allows 60mb, so I dont think it's anything to do with 50web restrictions, unless anyone knows differently?

............I I just checked the original flash flip book template and it had multiple loading messages too, one for each page. dammit.

On the basis that the flash template was correct, and you have confirmed that the original template has the same code structure, then we can rule that out.

Considering that the book has a number of images though, and you say that the file you uploaded is less than 1Mb I would suggest that some of the content has gone AWOL at some point. What size is the html file, the swf file, and does the original template create the swf file for you automatically?

Check the size of the swf file on your pc, and compare against the size on the server.
