 Posted: Tue Oct 26, 2004 1:19 pm Post subject: Flash working over internet, but not LAN |
 |
|
Situation:
We have an ABYSS webserver hosting our website, http://www.st-chads.co.uk, and from the outside the website is fine.
Is there anything on the Abyss webserver that would make the following occur? :
I have created a flash news ticker on the right-hand side of the page, which can be viewed from the outside world.
However, with working in a school, we use this page as the homepage.
To get to the website from the LAN, we go to http://webserver/
This then takes us to the main index.
HOWEVER, the flash file cannot be viewed on the LAN, it comes up with like an image/object placeholder.
If I go to http://webserver/flash/testnews.swf- I can view the flash.
If I embed that swf file into the webpage, it cannot be viewed.
I have attached a copy of the code used by this part of the website.
It's the first time I've ever seen this, can somebody please help me?
Thanks and regards,
Adam Tate

<embed src="flash/testnews.swf"
try src="http://webserver/flash/testnews.swf"
Maybe this will work - or maybe not.I have no idea. |

I've tried that and unfortunately it still doesn't work.
So I tried to upload the flash file to another one of my websites, hosted somewhere else. I linked the file up correctly and then tried again.
Once again I have the same problem.
It's as if the webserver isn't letting me view any flash whatsoever.
I uploaded a complete flash website to the abyss webserver and tried that.
That idea was just a joke!!! Nothing at all worked when I tried that!!!
Is there any reason why the webserver would stop me from viewing flash at all?
Is there some sort of option that I should know about that allows you to view flash!?
I know I'm trying to make it sound simple but I've tried all the difficult bits, i'm convinced it's GOT TO BE something stupid!!!

Abyss doesn't do anything special with SWF files. It just serves them as any other HTML of JPG file.
The problem here may come from the HTML code and especially from the value of the "src" argument since it contains a relative path.
We recommend to browse directly the SWF file (using http://yoursite/dir1/dir2/yourfile.swf .) Does it work? |
