Topic: Movie not working

I just ftp a movie and it is not playing (yes i included the swf file in the same folder), the weird thing is that if i click on it and open it from the domain it plays but i type in the url it doesnt show anything... does anybody know why??

ok this is the msg im getting:

Scene=Scene 1, Layer=Layer 31, Frame=59: Line 3: Wrong number of parameters; getURL requires between 1 and 3.
getURL();

since it didnt let me publish it i copied the publish preview file that flash generated ( i know, ..... i didnt foul anyone )

this is the action my button has:
on(release){
getURL("http://domainepetitsfruits/home.htm");
}
(i copied it from desingsbymark), dunno why it is not working (as usual )

Could it be that i need to install flash player on my domain??..... Does it make sense??

no, flash player does not have to be on your domain.

can you show us the code in the html-file where you include the flash?
or maybe the domain?

ok, i asked a friend to take a look at it, he says he can see it... but when i aske dhim whats on it he says he does not remember ...dunno if hes lying heres the link:
http://www.domainepetitsfruits.com/movie.html

the wierd part is that i can see other sites with flash 6 but just cant see my movie.....

here is the code in the html file:

<OBJECT classid="clsid 27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,0,0"
WIDTH="760" HEIGHT="400" id="Untitled-3" ALIGN="">
<PARAM NAME=movie VALUE="Untitled-3.swf"> <PARAM NAME=quality VALUE=high> <PARAM NAME=bgcolor VALUE=#FFFFFF> <EMBED src="Untitled-3.swf" quality=high bgcolor=#FFFFFF WIDTH="760" HEIGHT="400" NAME="Untitled-3" ALIGN=""

can you successfully watch flash movies on other sites?
do you have the latest flash plug-in? (6)
did you try other browsers/computers?

You need a target for you URL, that's what Flash is telling is wrong. Your code should look like

on (release){
getURL("http://www.url.com", "_blank");
}

Try that.

Grumble: yes i have flash player 6 and i can see some animations in other sites but not all of them... i can see the animation at www.palomablanca.com but i can not see the animation at www.brokensaints.com .... i find it weird..... , so i guess it has nothing to do with my movie has to be something else...

thats strange yeah!
well the only thing i could think of now is reinstall the flash plug-in or maybe the whole flash.

sorry that i cant help you more, but also i think there is nothing wrong with your movie!
