URL Not Valid

Hi,

I've just created and uploaded a small web site which uses a Flash-based menu system. When I try to access the site using http://localhost:8000, the first page opens OK, but if I click any of the menu buttons I get a message box headed Alert, saying "The URL is not valid and cannot be loaded."

I have uploaded the same site to an extrnal server and it works perfectly. It also works perfectly if I open the index.htlm file under htdocs directly in my browser.

The menu system uses relative URLs to make it easily portable between sites.

Any suggestions?

Regards,

Ted Hastings

I can't tell what browser you're using to test this on, but if you get a program that will show you HTTP headers, you could figure out what the problem is. I know of programs that do this for IE and Firefox.

In the HTTP headers, you'll be interested in the GET line and the Host line.

thastings,

Install Fiddler http://www.fiddlertool.com/fiddler/ and it will let you know the URL that the Flash animation is trying to access.
